Cutting-edge filling equipment, environmentally-friendly packaging and ambitious sustainability targets: Carlsberg is one of the beverage industry’s technological pioneers. The KHS Group consistently supports the brewery in the concrete implementation of its strategies.

With dosing systems for chemicals, Alltech Dosieranlagen GmbH provides the essential basis for the treatment of regeneration water and the production of ultrapure water and deionate, and supports customers in the crude oil and natural gas processing industries.

For several years, a pump at the largest production site in Kingsport, Tennessee, USA had been causing the US chemical company Eastman problems: it was operating on a process with water at high temperature and low pressure, generating the entrainment of more than 10% gas by volume in the form of water vapor. This often caused the pumps used to fail.

After KHS first presented the Innofill Glass DRS ECO to the public in 2019, the machine now in operation at OeTTINGER has demonstrated that it considerably improves on the low consumption values originally given for this equipment. With it, the brewery in Mönchengladbach, Germany, saves on CO2, water, energy and space. At the same time, OeTTINGER benefits from improved quality in the filling process.

Some 2,000 pump bushings have been ordered for a new vertical turbine range that is being developed by a Texas pump manufacturer.

ABEL continues to strengthen its global presence in the mining sector. The latest additions to this market are orders for two HMQ pumps (Hydraulic Quadruplex Diaphragm Pump) received the Northern German pump manufacturer from Peru and Macedonia.

ViscoTec dispensing pumps have already proven themselves in numerous applications as the optimal tool for handling highly abrasive materials. Dispensing tests were carried out for one customer with its new 1-component heat-conducting paste at the ViscoTec technical center.

Equipment designed for nuclear power stations requires extensive testing before products are accepted and delivered to the build process. For high energy pumps, vibration levels both at the best efficiency point (BEP) and at low flow rates need to be kept to an absolute minimum in order to meet the strict specifications laid out by the operator.
