BOTTLING / FILLING 33 PET planet insider Vol. 16 Compelling packing and palletizing technology Gökhan Doganay is delighted with the Innopack Kisters SP Basic shrink packer: “It offers us tremendous flexibility and allows us to run pro- duction with many different types of packaging with a minimum amount of changeover time.” After robot group- ing, the formed shrink packs arrive at the Innopal PBL1NH - a palletizer equipped with level compensation which makes it possi- ble to feed the packs at any height. Each layer is centered from all sides prior to discharge onto the pallet. This results in perfect layer patterns and a high overall stability of the pallet load. The pallet liner inserter goes into action automatically after each layer is discharged. A pallet wrapper located downstream of the pal- letizer secures the pallet loads. Perfect interaction Remzi Doganay is glad about the way the different machines inter- act. “For us, this means a high line efficiency of more than 90%. We are already looking forward to our third KHS aseptic line particularly in view of the positive experience we have gained with the installed KHS linear asep- tic lines.” Expected soon: the new generation of KHS aseptic rotary technology The new KHS generation of the Innosept Asbofill ASR aseptic rotary machine technology is to be imple- mented in addition to the already existing machines - albeit mostly in a larger version than in the past because of the up to 36,000 bottle- per-hour line capacity. Gökhan Doganay explains that the proven components and methods of the ABF series will be used for the Innosept Asbofill ASR. “This gives us the security we need,” he asserts. For example, the Innosept Asbofill ASR utilizes an aerosol and heating system which is identical to the one found in aseptic linear filling technology, adopts the sterilization principle used here, uses
