Used Bottling Line KRONES for still, sparkling water and CSD 12000 bph


The Used Bottling Line KRONES for still, sparkling water and CSD 12000 bph ensures good-performance bottling for mineral water, sparkling water, and carbonated soft drinks (CSD). Specifically, it processes PET containers in 1.5 l format, using isobaric filling technology to preserve the quality of both carbonated and non-carbonated beverages. Moreover, the bottle neck standard is PCO 1810.


In addition, this Used Bottling Line KRONES for still, sparkling water and CSD – 12000 bph integrates synchronized machines, thereby optimizing every production step, from preform feeding to final packaging and palletizing.


Preform Feeding and Preparation in this Used Bottling Line KRONES


The process begins with the preform feeder, which continuously supplies preforms to the preform inverter. As a result, the line maintains a smooth and consistent flow, with correct alignment of preforms before the blowing process.


Blow Molding Machine


Next, the blow molding machine—a Krones Contiform Compact 10, year 2001—uses a Siemens S5 control system to manage heating and blowing phases. Consequently, it transforms preforms into precisely shaped PET bottles ready for downstream processes.


Air Conveyors of the Used Bottling Line KRONES for still and sparkling water


Once the bottles are formed, they are transferred via Krones AirCo air conveyors, model AirCo, year 2011. These conveyors extend for approximately 110 meters. Furthermore, they are controlled by inverters and a Siemens S5 controller, ensuring the transport to the next station.


Mixing and Carbonation Unit


Before filling, the product passes through the mixing and carbonation unit, a Krones MS, year 1992. This system mixes water and syrup, and then carbonates the product with CO₂ for sparkling drinks, or injects nitrogen for still water. Notably, the unit ensures continuous operation and mixing, thus maintaining product consistency throughout production.


Filling Monoblock


Following the mixer, the filling monoblock—Krones VK PET 100 SV K, year 1993—comes into action. Controlled by a Schleicher system, it includes:




Bottle rinsing unit




Isobaric filling machine, suitable for both still and carbonated beverages




Capping unit for PCO 1810 PET bottles




CIP (Cleaning-In-Place) connections




Capacity to handle 1.5 l format




Importantly, this unit represents the heart of the line, performing several critical functions within a compact and coordinated block.


Labeling Machine


Immediately after filling, a Krones labeling machine, model Canmatic, year 1997, applies labels to PET bottles with precision. As such, it ensures accurate positioning and high throughput, contributing to a professional final presentation.

Shrink Wrapper


Subsequently, the shrink wrapper—Dimac Green Star Big, year 2011—forms multipacks using shrink film.
