KHS, headquartered in Dortmund, Germany, has been providing filling and packaging solutions for the food and beverage industry for over 150 years. KHS' international sales markets range from North America to South America and from Africa to Asia. Production sites are located in Germany, North, Central and South America, India and China.
The main exhibit at BrauBeviale 2023 will be a KHS GRS ECO filler, a classic beer filler, which will dominate the trade fair stand. It is ready for delivery to a brewery. According to a KHS employee, the buyer, the Waldhaus brewery, opted for this model for several reasons. These include the hygienic design, the ability to save CO2 and to drastically reduce the oxygen input during the filling process.
From a mechanical point of view, the model is in line with the classic beer fillers familiar from KHS. The special features of the exhibition model relate to the format parts and hygienic design. The format parts can be segmented using quick-release fasteners, which means that there is no need for heavy lifting when changing bottles. Bottle spills can also be easily eliminated thanks to the hygienic design.
When designing the KHS GRS ECO filler, everything that is advantageous in terms of hygiene was taken into account. In addition, the filler does not require a front table. With 150 years of expertise, KHS has implemented everything that is possible in terms of mechanical engineering and state-of-the-art design.
