The Krones Group, headquartered in Neutraubling, Germany, plans, designs and manufactures machines and complete systems for process, filling and packaging technology, as well as for intralogistics. Millions of bottles, cans and containers are processed using Krones systems, especially in breweries, the soft drink industry and by producers of wine, champagne and spirits.
Krones has equipped its largest ever filler completely equipped with Batchflux filling electromagnetic flowmeters from Krohne. Built for Coca-Cola Andina, Chile, the huge system has been commissioned at its destination and will be used to bottle (carbonated) soft drink products in a variety of bottle sizes ranging from 2 to 2,75 litres. In one hour, the machine can fill 37 000 2-litre bottles. And that is not even its maximum: its capacity of 78 000 litres an hour means that the filler will be able to fill 3-litre bottles at a rate of 26 000 bottles per hour in the future.
Equally as spectacular as the performance data is the way the filler was transported: Krones packed the almost 30-ton machine in a crate measuring 9 by 7 by 3,4 metres. It travelled overland from the Krones factory in Neutraubling to Hamburg, where it was then shipped to Brazil.
A total of 162 Batchflux 5500 C devices are installed on the rotating filler. Batchflux 5500 is an electromagnetic flowmeter (EMF) for the volumetric measurement of conductive liquids. As a so-called filling EMF, it was especially designed to be used with filling machines and features a dimensionally stable ceramic measuring tube. It boasts high repeatability and long-term stability of measurement and is resistant, even throughout frequent hot water and vapour cleanings. Krones has relied on the quality and long life cycle of the Batchflux for over 10 years and uses this type as its standard filling EMF.
