KHS (1300 163 532) has launched its Innofill Glass platform for the wine, sparkling wine and spirits sector, which offers increased line availability and cuts in media and energy consumption.
The filling system can process bottles holding from 0.1 to three litres, and can output 10,000 to 72,000 glass bottles per hour. The features of this platform system are many and varied, including the use of modern, wear-free and lubrication-free components, bottle transfer without a front table, a lightweight tubular ring bowl and media feed through hygienic pantograph joints.
The Innofill Glass platform system is controlled by a KHS interface which has won several prizes, including the red dot award and iF award. The interface features an integrated RFID system and is distinguished by its extremely user-friendly machine operator prompting. Other highlights of this high-performance system are its hygienic design, and reduced servicing and maintenance costs.
The first KHS filling system designed for this platform was the computer-controlled Innofill Glass DRS-ZMS pressure filler for beer and soft drinks. In practical use, the machine is meeting all expectations to the full and sales of the DRS-ZMS have far exceeded all of the extremely optimistic predictions.
