GEA Acquires Specialist for Filling Lines in Slovenia

Czech brewery Velké Popovice relies on technology from KHS: at the heart of a new glass line is the Innofill Glass DRS ECO filler. Velké Popovice uses the unfilled beer to cool the vacuum pump and thus save energy. With the installation of the rest of the line’s dry section planned for the start of the coming year, the brewery is thus relying solely on KHS technology – that also includes a number of holistic digital service solutions.

Two European hydropower plant operators have replaced the bearings on their Francis-type turbines with water-lubricated bearings from Canada’s Thordon Bearings after oil was leaking from their original metal bearings.

Small dispensing errors cause large variations in battery performance. Hermetic, high-precision dosing pumps are needed for this application. Filling electrolytes into battery cells is a critical step in battery manufacturing. Factors such as electrolyte formulation, pressure and temperature must be considered in the filling process.

Molson Coors is one of the biggest brewery groups in the world. The Serbian plant run by its subsidiary Apatinska Pivara Apatin has relied on technology engineered by KHS for over four decades. The long and trusting partnership between the two companies was recently further cemented by conversions to two of the brewery’s glass lines and the procurement of a KHS Innofill Can DVD can filler.

A&M Rare’s new, ultramodern bottling plant seems almost surreal in its Armenian mountain setting.

The company relies on KHS for the plant technology for its new PET and glass line.

Dosing syringes are an important option for the precise and clean application of pharmaceutical substances. However, the thin cylindrical cavities quickly become a challenge, especially when filling disposable syringes with highly viscous materials or semi-solids.
