KHS PRESENTS INNOKEG TILL COMBIKEG LIVE FOR THE FIRSTIME
New, compact keg washing and racking machine for smallnd medium-sized businesses is excellently received by thendustry
With its Innokeg Till CombiKeg internationally active manufac-urer of filling and packaging equipment for the beverage, food,nd non-food industries KHS GmbH has developed a keg washingnd racking machine that provides small and medium-sized busi-esses in the brewing, soft drinks, mineral water, fruit juice, andine sectors in particular with a comprehensive range of benefits.
In order to communicate these advantages to a live audience,HS invited representatives of the industry to view the proto-
ype of the Innokeg Till CombiKeg at its plant in Kriftel, the KHSroup’s competence center for keg technology. Many companiesccepted the invitation, among them German breweries Eichbaumrauerei, Einbecker Brauhaus, Licher Privatbrauerei, Pfungstädterrivatbrauerei, and Paderborner Brauerei. Companies from outsideermany who participated in the event included private brewerywettl from Austria and Czech brewery Strakonice. German brew-ry Schönbuch was also present, who demonstrated great foresightn reserving the Innokeg Till CombiKeg prototype for its estab-ishment some time ago. Werner Dinkelaker, owner of Brauereichönbuch, says, “We are already looking forward to this prototypend are proud to be the first company to profit from the Innokegill CombiKeg.”
The event began with a presentation which focused on thextensive activities of the world market leader in keg system tech-ology. This was followed by an explanation of the theory behindhe many plus points of the new development, followed by a prac-ical demonstration on the Innokeg Till CombiKeg itself.
The participants were quite taken by the extremely compactesign of the keg washing and racking machine that operates onhe principle of rotary processing and is able to output 60–90 kegsn hour. They were also impressed by the fact that despite its com-act size the Innokeg Till CombiKeg not only washes kegs inside
nd out, but also racks them, and also has integrated in its claddingll media tanks, controls, and conveyors. The overall dimensions ofhe Innokeg Till CombiKeg are such that the entire machine fitsn a container. It can be fully commissioned in Plug & Produceode. Another exceptionally beneficial feature of the Innokeg Till
373-7163/$ – see front matteroi:10.1016/j.cervis.2011.03.001
CombiKeg is that the system is modular, enabling a great numberof possible configuration options. Whether the customer requiresthree washing heads and one racking head or five washing headsand one racking head, classic return gas control or DFC racking: any-thing is possible. A wide range of additional equipment can also beadded downstream of the keg washing and racking process, suchas keg scales, a keg turner, keg capper, and camera.
After inspecting the machine guests were taken on a tour of theKHS Keg Technology Competence Center, giving them the oppor-tunity to gain an insight into state-of-the-art production processesand glean information on KHS’ extensive portfolio of keg systems.
The event ended on a sociable note, with visitors tucking in tovarious specialties from Hesse. The unanimous verdict of the partic-ipants was that the day had been well worth it. What is more, “TheInnokeg CombiKeg is just the kind of innovation the market wants,one that combines compact design with the utmost flexibility, easeof operation, and hygiene.”
Rainer Deutschmann, Global Product Account Kegging, KHSGmbH, said of the successful event in Kriftel, “We are tremendouslypleased that our new development has met with such positivefeedback within the industry. We thus expect great things of theInnokeg Till CombiKeg. We are also delighted that some of thevisitors to the event would have liked to have taken the prototypeback with them; we even received our first orders for it. Weweren’t expecting such a spontaneous response. We consider thisto be an especially great compliment.”
KHS PROVIDES EXTENSIVE INNOVATIVE PACKAGE WITHPLENTY OF EXTRA BENEFITS
In focus: new generation of shrink tunnels, shrink packingwithout shrinkage holes, and new online film printing
New developments fully tailored to meet the demands andrequirements of the customer and the market will be the focus ofthe KHS exhibition booth at Interpack 2011. Among the innovationsKHS GmbH will be offering to its clients are a new shrink tunnel con-cept, a newly developed procedure for the manufacture of shrinkpacks without shrinkage holes, and new online film printing for thecoding of shrink packs.
Among the many extensive advantages of the new generationof KHS shrink tunnels that give this system a great deal of futurepotential is its modular design with a basic platform which can beextended as required. Various functions can thus be easily inte-grated into the shrink tunnel concept at a later stage. In order to

chieve the best possible shrink results for each individual shrinkack, KHS uses adjustable hot air nozzles. The air flow can be setxactly as required to fully suit the individual pack format withegard to both height and width. The hot air nozzles are positionedanually by adjusting spindles and using a digital position indi-
ator. The nozzles can also be positioned using electronic operatorrompting. The amount of air required for a perfect shrink resultan be configured for each individual nozzle, either manually usinghand lever or electronically by servo motors. The new generationf KHS shrink tunnels also features an optimized heating chamber,sing ventilators whose flow behavior is a further improvement onhat of the previous generation. Depending on the size of the shrinkunnel, KHS reckons that this new flow technology will result in10–15% reduction in the amount of energy consumed. With theptional energy-saving package that can be integrated into the con-ept, energy savings of up to 20% as opposed to previous systems areossible. The new generation of shrink tunnels can also be heatedy gas instead of using classic electric heating. In comparison tolectric heating, gas heating can reduce energy costs by up to 50%.
The newly developed KHS shrink packer manipulating unitromises to provide even better pack stability for shrink film packsy wrapping containers in shrink film without the formation ofhrinkage holes. This option is particularly interesting when largerontainer formations are to be shrink wrapped, such as packs of4 cans. The clear advantage here is that the new system more or
ess eradicates the danger of containers becoming displaced withinhe shrink pack. Another benefit of shrink film packs being formedithout shrinkage holes is the potential saving this entails. The
rays or cardboard pads that were previously needed to keep theack stable are now no longer required. This also means that card-oard no longer needs to be handled in the logistics chain, withhis cut in materials tantamount to a vast potential drop in costs.dded to this is the fact that the environment also considerablyrofits from the use of fewer packaging materials.
KHS is also able to give the beverage, food, and non-food indus-ries even more reliability, ease of operation, machine availability,nd targeted cost reductions with another of its new develop-ents: online film printing. The biggest plus of this innovation is
hat the online print, applied by a thermotransfer printing systempstream of the film cutting station, is on the inside of the filmackaging. Damage or manipulation of the coding is thus ruledut right from the start. Besides the classic barcoding of shrinkacks, the new system also allows other prints to be applied, suchs logos or additional information on the product. The printedtem can be positioned at will. The system is not only beneficialegarding the cost of materials; it also increases the availability ofhe machine as online film printing makes changing label reels onhe label dispensers used to date in the industry superfluous.
INNOVATION HOTFILL+: EFFICIENT, SUSTAINABLE, AND SUC-ESSFUL
Pioneer performance by Pepsi and KHS for hot filling ofhin-walled PET bottles
Rajendra Gursahaney, Senior Director of Engineering at theepsi Beverages Company, reaches a positive conclusion on theotFill+ project.
Within the beverage industry, the development of the HotFill+ystem is nothing less than a minor revolution, allowing companiesho hot fill sensitive products in PET bottles to now use PET bottles
ithout vacuum compensation panels.The acclaimed father of the HotFill+ process is Rajendra Gur-ahaney, Senior Director of Engineering at the Pepsi Beveragesompany, who sparked off the evolution of HotFill+. The triggerehind it all was that a brand of Lipton Tea without any preser-
sia 36 (2011) 1–7
vatives was to be introduced to the Russian market. Gursahaneyshied away from the high cost of an aseptic filling line, however,and instead opted for hot filling – under the condition that he couldsomehow avoid using PET bottles with vacuum compensation pan-els that made the bottles heavier and thus more costly.
His idea was to dose freshly filled, classic PET bottles withnitrogen to compensate for any shrinking of the PET bottles afterhot filling, thus making vacuum compensation panels superfluous.After six months of trials at the KHS Corpoplast laboratory, thedesired results were achieved which have since proved themselvesin practice.
Gursahaney now looks back on two years of experience withthe HotFill+ process and is extremely satisfied. On the KHS line inYekaterinburg, which operates on HotFill+ technology, each year2.5 million dollars in costs for PET bottles are saved. The reason forthis is that the weight of a 1.5-l PET bottle has been reduced from63 to 48 g using the new setup. At the same time, the environmentis benefiting from a lower consumption of materials and energy. Inaddition, the labeling area for the classic hot filling PET bottle canbe used for marketing purposes more efficiently since the absenceof a vacuum panel allows better label application.
According to Gursahaney, one of the decisive factors behind thesuccess of the HotFill+ system was the successful collaboration withKHS during the project phase. He sums up. “KHS is now profitingfrom the great commitment that was invested in this project. Forthe industry knows that in HotFill+ KHS has proved something of apioneer – and this of course helps to boost your image no end.”
Pepsi decided not to patent the HotFill+ process just for them-selves but to share the benefits of this technology with others.“By making a procedure that uses considerably less PET andthus less energy readily available,” says Gursahaney, “we wouldlike to do something positive for the environment and for ourplanet.”

drinktec: NEW ‘FLOW’ SETS THE SECTOR IN MOTIONThe slogan for drinktec is ‘Go with the flow’. It is a rallying call
for all those who want to be part of the global network in thebeverages and liquid food industry and be present at its strongestand most go-ahead platform for new business: drinktec. Thisevent, the ‘World’s Leading Trade Fair for Beverage and LiquidFood Technology’, unites the entire sector. It gets things moving,it keeps them going forward, and every four years it virtuallyre-invents the industry. The fair’s ‘Flow’ visual captures this spirit.Now this key visual has itself been given an update. The new ‘Flow’will be supporting the marketing campaign for drinktec 2013.
Orange instead of blueThe ‘Flow’ visual is all about movement and dynamism, it is
an energy-charged jet of liquid, whose various shades of blueawakened associations with water. The new ‘Flow’ is every bit asenergy-packed as its predecessor, but is coloured orange insteadof blue. Why orange? The answer is obvious: Because that is the
colour of drinktec.drinktec is the motor that sets ideas in motionThe newly designed key visual widens out the associations of
the jet of liquid. It can be interpreted in all kinds of other ways,

ot just as water. And, according to Exhibition Director Petraestphal, “That is as it should be. The ‘Flow’ represents the motor
hat sets the ideas in motion. It symbolises an open channel ofommunication.” If the sector can be seen as a world-spanningetwork, then the ‘Flow’ is representative of the supply line andhe channel that links it all up. In this way drinktec can be seen askind of accelerator: it charges the sector (the ‘Flow’ as a beam ofnergy!), sets it in motion and thereby brings together companiesnd markets, supply and demand. Whatever the interpretation,etra Westphal says: “The ‘Flow’ stands for transparency andpenness, both of which are important attributes of drinktec.”
