KHS presents chunk dosing unit and compact systems at Anuga FoodTec
Anuga FoodTec, KHS, Hall 8.1 – Stand A60/A68 The KHS Group will have compact and flexible systems specially designed for the beverage, food and dairy industries on display. The new KHS chunk dosing unit for functional milk beverages permits gentle filling of chunks measuring up to 10 x 10 x 10mm. The systems supplier from Dortmund will also be highlighting its further new innovations for sensitive beverages.
“Users gain many benefits when fillers can be combined with our Blomax stretch blow molder to form a compact block system,” says Thomas Redeker, sales director for Dairy Europe at KHS. The flexible and compact filling and packaging systems from the KHS Group cut down on space, are safer and more reliable and provide greater energy efficiency. For sensitive applications the new block systems can be provided as rotary or linear setups. Here, the sustainable filling technology can be expanded to suit customer requirements and is thus rapidly available on the market. This in turn caters for current trends: whether yoghurt drinks or breakfast on-the-go, the demand is for increasingly diverse products and packaging. In this context “sensitive” refers to a gentle non-carbonated filling process. Here, it is not important whether fruit juices, dairy or liquid food products are to be filled, whether ultraclean filling, extended shelf lives or aseptic filling are required. Should an additional function be required at any time in the future, this can be easily retrofitted with the modular systems from KHS.
When it comes to chunk filling KHS has extended its portfolio to include its own chunk dosing unit which enables pulp with chunks measuring 10 x 10 x 10mm to be gently filled. The new dosing unit can be installed on all linear systems and supplements the existing filling system. It will be on display in Cologne. Another focus of the trade show will be the individual production of PET packaging, also in combination with the FreshSafe PET coating system, which unites the advantages of both glass and plastic in one bottle to protect the product.
