53 TRADE SHOW PREVIEW PETplanet Insider Vol. 21 No. 10/20 KHS Hall 7a | Booth 320 Reliable technology and digital service for the beverage industry The exhibition focus will be on KHS’ new and further develop- ments in filling technology, especially those for the can and glass bottle segments. The KHS Group will also be presenting its broad portfolio of digital services that give customers numerous benefits, particularly in view of the current social and travel restrictions. Digital systems prevent production loss When social distancing and travel restrictions greatly hamper the maintenance and repair of machinery, creative solutions are called for. “With our comprehensive range of digital services we’re showing which efficient measures can help minimise downtimes and prevent production stops,” Dr Johannes T. Grobe, CSO for the KHS Group, states. Thanks to its proven ReDiS remote diagnostic service and augmented reality service KHS also reliably helps its customers to remedy faults quickly and directly by remote access – without a KHS service engineer having to be on site. The digital monitoring of entire lines is just as smart, this made possible by the web-based Basic Line Monitoring software that assesses the line’s efficiency and pinpoints any possible errors. The German turnkey supplier also proves a reliable partner to its clients with its 24/7 Service HelpDesk. This is available round the clock for spare parts inquiries and to pro- cess any technical problems that might arise. Numerous optimisations in filling technology With its further developments for beverage cans KHS is meet- ing the growing market demand for this container segment. For instance, the KHS Innofill Can DVD can now fill beverages while they are warm. Another important upgrade is the new pneumatic lowering device for the centering bells that further boosts the stand- ard of hygiene already inherent on the can filler. ‘Little brother’ Innofill Can C, on the other hand, has had its production capacity optimised. Instead of 5,000 to 15,000 cans an hour, the machine can process up to 50,000 containers in the same time. Furthermore, with its Innofill Glass platform KHS is expanding its portfolio for the filling of sensi- tive beverages such as beer and fruit juice. The long-tube filler is especially convincing here with its high degree of flexibility and modular design. www.khs.com
