Krones PET Block 54/8

Krones PET Block 54/8 Monobloc Filler–Capper – Overview


The Krones PET Block 54/8 is a second‑hand monobloc composed of a rotary isobaric filler and rotary screw capper for PET bottles. Engineered for beverage production and industrial packaging, this unit is ideal for integrating into a used bottling line requiring counter‑pressure filling and PCO 1881 closure application. With 54 fixed filling valves and an 8‑head capper, it delivers reliable performance on large PET formats with precise neck handling.
