    The company KHSThe roots of KHS date back primarily to the

    foundation of Holstein & Kappert GmbH in

    Dortmund, Germany in 1868 and Seitz-Werke in

    Bad Kreuznach in 1886. Today, KHS is a manu-

    facturer of filling and packing systems with one

    As a supplier of complete systems and individ-

    ual machines, KHS brings its full core compe-

    tence to bear throughout the entire beverage

    industry. Filling systems such as the KHS Innofill

    NRF-OFE for still wines and spirits or the KHS

    InnofillDNRT for effervescent wines optimally

    tailored to customer requirements are compel-

    ling throughout the trade. Thanks to special fill-

    ing systems and innovative, patented develop-

    ments of international acclaim, our solutions are

    trendsetters in the beverage industry and are

    the systems of choice when it comes to filling

    and packing wine, champagne, and spirits. With

    KHS, you are well prepared for all future trends.

    Whether Prosecco in a new bottle shape, wine

    bottled in PET, or whatever tomorrows interna-

    tional markets demand. Our systems are already

    in operation filling effervescent wines like Pro-

    secco in cans and racking fruity wines in kegs

    for the restaurant trade. PET bottle processing

    has already arrived on the scene in the spirits

    industry where KHS machines are in successfuloperation.

    Pioneer in the field of wine filtration

    Because Seitz-Werke is considered the inventor

    of wine filtration, KHS has traditionally close

    ties with the wine sector as reflected not only

    by the numerous complete systems installed to

    date but also in the many international publi-

    cations from our laboratory specialists focused

    on technological process improvements. KHS

    also participated in the cooperative laboratory

    tests initiated by the German Oenologists Asso-

    ciation (BDO) right from the beginning and for

    many years has maintained close cooperation

    with various viticulture educational facilitie s and

    professional trade institutions by providing con-

    sultants regularly.

    Revolutionary development especially for

    the spirits trade

    The spirits trade boasts a variety of high-quality

    products and a wide range of different bottle

    shapes and sizes. Spirits must be bottled so thatthere is neither loss of product due to overfilling

    nor a loss of alcohol or flavor. More than 40 years

    ago, KHS was the first company in the world to

    introduce a mechanical measurement bottling

    system exactly matched to the requirements of

    the spirits industry that today is considered the

    forerunner of the inductive flowmetering-based

    principle of volumetric filling. In the 1970s, KHS

    brought another revolutionary development to

    the spirits market by launching its universal fill-

    ing valve that simplified considerably the han-

    dling of various bottle mouth sizes.

    SOLUTIONS FOR THEWINE, CHAMPAGNE, AND SPIRITS INDUSTRY

    Changing wine, champagne,

    and spirits market

    The spirits market continues to be an

    attractive value added category thanks to

    classical products such as clear schnapps,

    liqueurs, and brandies in addition to mar-

    keting concepts tailored to the market.

    The market orients itself more and more

    towards exporting. Internationally famous

    brands like Jgermeister boast two-digit

    yearly growth rates in the U.S. market.

    Prerequisite for this is that producers

    adapt to more and more individual con-

    sumer needs and satisfy these needs by

    offering the right products.

    In a growing wine sec tor, German wines

    have gained noticeably and are enjoying

    an ever-increasing popularity internation-

    ally. The trend is towards fresh, fruity, and

    rather low-acidity white wines.

    In order to meet these requirements,

    winegrowers and wineries are converting

    more and more to ultra-modern bottling

    and packing technologies according to

    the motto tradition meets future. The

    champagne market in contrast is stagna-

    ting and has suffered from extremely

    tough price wars and predatory competi-

    tion. For most champagne producers it is

    therefore not a matter of concentrating

    on seasonal business such as Christmas

    and New Year, but rather stimulating an

    increased desire for traditional sparkling

    wines through new marketing ideas.

    SOLUTIONS FOR THEWINE, CHAMPAGNE, AND SPIRITS INDUSTRY

    PUTTING PREMIUM BEVERAGES IN THE LEADWITH TECHNOLOGY FROM KHS

    From single machines to complete

    KHS solutions

    Proven, economically feasible machines and

    process engineering and numerous innovations,

    have enabled KHS to also achieve an out-

    standing position in the wine, champagne, and

    spirits bottling market in the last few years. KHS

    has been able to maintain this position based on

    its extensive know-how in fields ranging from

    process engineering to cleaning/sterilizing, to

    bottling, and up to labeling, packing, and pallet-

    izing.

    The intensive cooperation with leading research

    facilities and the knowledge gained from this

    work has enabled KHS strengthen and consoli-

    date its position in the market even further. The

    breadth of these solutions proven in the trade

    ranges from single machines to turnkey produc-

    tion lines. These solutions are based on cutting-

    edge process engineering and a holistic

    approach to system planning.

    Plant planning

    Planning and implementing complete lines for

    all branches of industry tailored to individual

    requirements is one of KHS strong points. Ex-

    perience, competence, and product and process

    know-how all combined to form a perfect

    whole. We develop solutions with top results

    and implement these results in practice in a

    technically and economically convincing way.

    All this with maximum system availability, high-

    est possible efficiency, and an optimum cost/

    benefit ratio. Correct buffer capacities between

    the machines and optimum line control are key

    prerequisites for maximum functionality.

    Process engineering

    We develop tailored process solutions for you

    based on your individual requirements and pre-

    vailing local conditions. Our core competencies

    are in the areas of filtration, pasteurizing, and

    blending. The successful KHS Innoproconcept

    begins with product production and extends up

    to compact systems including process integra-

    tion and visualization. The advantage: Holistic

    process competence without interface problems

    from only one point of contact.

    Rinsing

    KHS cleaning technology offers the right solu-

    tion for every problem and every task in the

    wine, champagne, and spirits sector to ensure

    maximum product safety. KHS rinsers are able

    to wash both glass and PET bottles, can be indi-

    vidually designed to include 1 to 3 channels, and

    are controlled both mechanically as well as elec-

    tronically. Steam, peracetic acid, chlorine di-

    oxide, or ozone can be used to sterilize bottles.

    The spirits industry uses primarily single-channel

    rinsing systems that blow out new glass bottles

    with air or use the product itself for rinsing.

    Depending on the task definition, double-chan-

    nel rinsing systems are also used occasionally

    that offer facilities for both options.

    Filling

    With its innovative KHS InnofillNRF-OFE bal-

    anced-pressure filling system for still wines and

    spirits and its KHS InnofillDNRT for addition-

    ally effervescent wines, KHS offers absolute

    future-safe solutions. The high flexibility and the

    fast changeover capabilities of these systems

    also stand for maximum economy. Above all in

    the spirits industry, the trend in the last few

    years has been away from vacuum filling and

    towards balanced-pressure filling systems that

    SOLUTIONS FOR THEWINE, CHAMPAGNE, AND SPIRITS INDUSTRY

    outstandingly retain the flavor and the alcohol

    content of spirits. The electropneumatic KHS

    InnofillNRF-OFE normal pressure filling system

    stands for top filling quality. Using the bottom-

    up method of filling with long filling tubes, spir-

    its are bottled in the gentlest possible way.

    There is no foaming and virtually no oxygen

    pickup. With the KHS InnofillNRF-OFE, the fill

    level for changing bottle types can be switched

    at the push of a button. These developments

    underline KHS leading technological position.

    Capping, corking, crowning

    KHS also relies on holistic solutions when it

    comes to capping, corking, and crowning.

    Regardless if metal screw caps, natural corks, or

    synthetic corks. Natural cork corkers offer

    exceptionally high corking quality and reliability

    when processing natural corks, compressed

    corks, and synthetic corks. The high product

    quality in conjunction with natural corks is

    ensured by various accessories such as vacuum

    facilities, electrical cork heaters, and cork dust

    exhaust systems. Whatever sty le of closure, KHS

    offers the appropriate sealing solution for all

    requirements.This also applies to aluminum roll-

    on caps used mainly in the spirits trade or guala

    caps occasionally employed primarily to cap

    high-quality products such as cognac.

    Labeling

    Regardless of the container shape and the type

    of material you would like to use and which

    advertising accents are needed, KHS has the

    right labeling solution for wine, champagne,

    and spirits a sector in which considerable

    effort is always involved in differentiating prod-

    uct dressings and design. You are well equip-

    ped at all times with KHS labeling machines

    that are versatile, offer a wide spectrum of pos-

    sible combinations, and a great variety of tech-

    niques. Precision labeling and exact bottle

    alignment for applying seal labels, for example,

    is no problem.

    Keg processing

    KHS Innokegsystems also offer optimum solu-

    tions for highly efficient washing, sterilizing, and

    racking processes and the handling of standard

    casks in the wine industry while taking cus-

    tomer-specific needs into consideration. State-

    of-the-art DCF keg racking technology reduces

    the volume of counter-pressure gas as well as

    the Opickup. The result is an optimally control-

    led racking process with exceptionally constant

    fill levels. Perfect hygienic design additionally

    ensures extremely low-germ racking and reli-

    able operation. The extensive KHS delivery pro-

    gram includes individual machines and com-

    plete systems that set the standard in the field

    of keg processing. Backed by years of expe-

    rience, we constantly develop innovations such

    as the KHS ContiKeg, KegBoy, and Transomat

    racking systems designed for various capacity

    requirements that guarantee our customers an

    important competitive edge.

    SOLUTIONS FOR THEWINE, CHAMPAGNE, AND SPIRITS INDUSTRY

    HIGHLY FLEXIBLE SYSTEM SOLUTIONS EVEN FOR HIGH-PROOF SPIRITS:KHS SETS THE STANDARD IN THE ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE SECTOR

    High performance for every taste

    Whether wine, champagne, or spirits, each

    product makes special demands on filling tech-

    nology. KHS therefore offers the efficient and

    gentle product handling solutions for the entire

    beverage industry. So that the flavor and aroma

    of all products is retained and you can produce

    your products at full speed with little effort even

    if you need to quickly change product and bot-

    tle styles now and then.

    Customer dialog is the recipe for success

    The KHS performance features are the result of

    years of intensive dialog with customers that

    have lead us jointly to more and more new solu-

    tions such as other filling methods, which can

    be implemented to fill champagne at tempera-

    tures of up to +19 C wi thout gushing and prod-

    uct loss. Another example is a system for cold

    sterile filling of wine at a highest standard of

    microbial safety. With this filling system, you can

    bottle still wine, sparkling wine, and other ef fer-

    vescent beverages as well as champagne on one

    and the same filler.

    Long-tube filling technology that fills your prod-

    ucts bottom-up in bottles in a gentlest possible

    way - in both glass and plastic bottles. KHS also

    enables you to fill top-quality spirits with a mini-

    mum amount of oxygen pickup without loss of

    flavor, alcohol, or product.

    Perfect filling results from KHS

    With more than 6000 systems installed world-

    wide, KHS is one of the leading suppliers of fill-

    ing systems in the beverage sector, and has set

    new standards with numerous technological

    innovations. Also in the wine, champagne, and

    spirits sector where with the KHS InnofillDNRT

    a pressure and normal pressure filling system

    without filling tubes for champagne, sparkling

    wine, and top-quality wines an alternative

    technology to the long-tube filling system was

    developed that is compelling based on its high

    fill level accuracy using the Trinox method. Or

    the KHS InnofillMF filling system designed for

    still products that optionally operates with nor-

    mal or negative pressure. The computer-con-

    trolled KHS InnofillNRF-OFE normal pressure

    filling system equipped with long filling tubes,

    in contrast, ensures bottom-up, low-oxygen

    pickup filling without dripping and with high fill

    level accuracy. There has been a change in

    recent years in bottling systems predestined for

    the spirits sec tor. The current trend is away from

    vacuum filling technique and toward the bal-

    anced pressure method. The reason is that the

    balanced pressure filling method retains the fla-

    vor and alcohol content of spirits. For many

    years, the electro-pneumatic KHS InnofillNRF-

    OFE normal pressure filling system has provided

    top-quality filling to the spirits branch of

    industry. The KHS InnofillNRF-OFE offers push-

    button changeover of fill levels for different

    types of bottle. When it comes to hygienic

    design, KHS scores an enormous number of

    points with its specially developed, revolution-

    ary front table with round, smooth surfaces. The

    lack of niches dead spaces, corners, and edges

    enables perfect sanitizing thereby achieving

    maximum standards of hygiene.

    The classical filling system for wine,

    champagne, and spirits

    The unique performance features and

    details of all machines and systems from

    KHS are impressive:

    KHS InnofillDRF the classical

    champagne filler

    The counter-pressure principle of filling

    and multiple-stage snifting avoids

    gushing. As a result, the KHS Innofill

    DRF is able to fill champagne at up to

    19 C without condensation forming on

    the bottles for subsequent trouble-free

    labeling. The bottle height is changed at

    the push of a button.

    KHS InnofillNRF-OFE for still

    wines and spirits

    The electronic, long-tube filling system

    can be individually adapted as required to

    obtain a filling process without tur-

    bulence, without loss of flavor and alco-

    hol, and with minimum oxygen pickup.

    KHS InnofillDNRT also for

    effervescent wines and champagne

    This filling system operates with balanced

    and counter-pressure and in addition to

    a variable number of pre-rinsing and

    evacuation steps, it offers an automatic,

    centrally adjustable return gas adjust-

    ment facility for fill level correction. The

    ideal system for filling of still and effer-

    vescent beverages.

    PREMIUM BEVERAGES NEED SPARKLING CLEAN BOTTLES:RINSING TECHNOLOGY FROM KHS

    Perfect performance

    The trend towards more non-alcoholic and non-

    carbonated beverages sets higher standards on

    biological safety and hygiene. The increasing

    quality requirements also posed on select wines

    and noble spirits necessitate first-class bottle

    cleaning results. KHS bottle washing technology

    offers you maximum product safety together

    with fully developed functionality thought out

    down to the last detail for processing all types

    of beverage and container and unique know-

    how for integrating rinsers into complete lines.

    KHS offers built-in future-proofing right from

    the start thanks to the constant further develop-

    ment of our systems and processing methods to

    meet future market requirements.

    Because the wine, champagne, and spirits industry

    uses primarily new glass containers, the demands

    made on rinsing equipment for one-way bottles

    are different. For less frequently used refillable

    glass bottles on the other hand, multiple-bath

    bottle washers are used whereas the current

    trend is towards regional bottle rinsing centers.

    Single or double-channel rinser?

    Simplified rinsing equipment can be used when

    filling new glass bottles in the spirits industry. It

    is usually sufficient to invest in a single-channel

    rinser that blows out the bottles with air or

    rinses out the bottles with product. Depending

    on the shape of the bottle and the style of prod-

    uct to be filled, further rinsing with product can

    be important in addition to rinsing with air in

    which case, a double-channel rinser handles the

    task of blowing out and rinsing the bot tles. Both

    mechanical and electronic versions of all rinser

    models are available. The latter offers the advan-

    tage of variable treatment times and rinsing

    programs that can be changed quickly and sim-

    ply at the push of a button.

    Rinsing equipment for wine

    The cold sterile method of operation is

    used in this case, i.e. sterilization with

    steam, peracetic acid, chlorine dioxide,

    or ozone by electronic or mechanical

    double- or triple-channel systems. This

    method incorporates the bottle mouth

    area in the sterilization process.

    Rinsing equipment for spirits

    A rinser is used for spirits bottles that

    blows the bottles out with air or sprays

    them out with a product/water mixture

    to prevent adverse affects to the quality

    of the product.

    Rinsing equipment for champagne

    Single-channel and in some few instances,

    double-channel rinsing systems are pri-

    marily used in the champagne industry.

    Simple fresh water spraying is generally

    sufficient.

    BRILLIANT SOLUTIONS IN PRACTICE:SUCCESSFULLY IMPLEMENTED BY KHS

    Completely monitored: Palletizing center

    at Henkell & Shnlein

    After a planning and construction period of less

    than 10 months, a palletizing and logistics cen-

    ter successfully completed by KHS went into

    operation at Henkell & Shnlein in Wiesbaden-

    Biebrich.

    Henkell & Shnlein is one of the worlds largest

    sparkling wine cellars and produces nearly 90

    million bottles of sparkling wine annually at its

    facilities in Wiesbaden-Biebrich. In addition to

    the old-established Henkell Trocken and Frst

    von Metternich brands, Henkells range of prod-

    ucts includes Carstens SC, Shnlein Brillant,

    Rttgers Club, Wodka Gorbatschow, and Batida

    de Coco all bottled, labeled, and packed on six

    bottling lines. The entire range of products is

    palletized, labeled, and distributed to the vari-

    ous storage locations in the new palletizing cen-

    ter. Considering the diverse brands of cham-

    pagne and the variety of different packaging

    sizes, a total of 28 different formations are

    processed in the palletizing center.

    Four high-performance KHS InnopalPL-series

    palletizers are installed to handle this task. All

    are equipped with fully automatic layer forma-

    tion changeover for flexible production opera-

    tion. The palletizing center is centrally monitored

    by a camera system and a cell phone that trans-

    mit disruption data directly to the system super-

    visor. The intelligent plant information system

    records all operational and disruption data

    enabling fast reaction to any problems that may

    occur. The heart of the logistics is an automatic

    high-bay warehouse through which all pallet

    transport logistics of the various products are

    processed.

    All guaranteed values for the entire system were

    validated within only a few weeks. As a follow-

    up order, KHS installed a new bottling line

    equipped with an electronic KHS InnofillDRF

    filler designed to process 30,000 0.2-liter

    Piccolo bottles per hour.

    Tradition and innovation perfectly combined in

    one Winzer Krems, Austrias largest viticultural

    cooperative, makes it clear that this can be

    achieved in a stylish and convincing way. It

    begins with the new cellar equipment operating

    according to tried and tested methods, includes

    a very impressive sensory experience concept

    for visitors, and ends with the traditional use of

    innovative keg equipment for filling wine for the

    restaurant trade.

    Winzer Krems produces nearly 10 million liters

    of quality wines annually, which are distributed

    in different sizes and shapes of bottle to both

    end consumers and to the restaurant trade that

    is additionally delivered wine in kegs. This still

    rather unusual type of packaging offers clear

    advantages. The stainless steel kegs are herme-

    tically sealed, absolutely lightproof, taste-neu-

    tral, resistant to corrosion and impact, and can

    be stored for virtually an unlimited period

    without any affect on the quality of the wine.

    Added to this is the decreased handling in con-

    junction with a professionally installed dispen -

    sing system that always keeps the wine on tap

    at a constant and ideal dispensing tempera-

    ture.

    Perfect keg washing and gentle racking are the

    basis for ensuring top quality wine in kegs. KHS

    provided the optimum conditions for this pur-

    pose by supplying keg equipment with a capac-

    ity of up to 60 kegs per hour. Winzer Krems runs

    the KHS line in a single-shift. Before the kegs

    returned from the restaurant trade are fed into

    the single-lane KHS Innokeg Transomat 3/1

    washing and racking machine, they pass through

    an KHS InnokegAK 1 keg exterior washer. Spe-

    cific rinsing of the filling head with hot water is

    the next item on the agenda before the c leaned

    keg is hooked up to the filling head. This method

    guarantees maximum microbial safety and the

    perfect washing process creates the prereq-

    uisites for an ideal racking process. Maximum

    flexibility for all eventualities.

    In addition to the white and red wines filled by

    Winzer Krems up to now, sparkling wine can

    WINZER KREMS RELIES ON QUALITY WINES RACKED IN KEGS AND THUS ON SUCCESS

    also be racked if required using the KHS Innokeg

    Transomat 3/1, which is able to rack other keg

    sizes ranging from the 7-liter to the 58-liter keg

    version.

    We rely very specifically on KHS keg equip-

    ment. The gentle filling process can be practiced

    outstandingly with our technical solution. The

    oxygen and gas pickup in the product is mini-

    mized and the natural effervescence is retained

    during the racking process. Franz Arndorfer,

    Winzer Krems Chief Cellar Master thus verifies

    the choice of systems.

    After all, Winzer Krems orients itself consis-

    tently to the market and is getting ready in the

    future for smaller format wine kegs for end

    customers as well as sparkling wine in kegs for

    the restaurant trade. With KHS, this Austrian

    winery has a decidedly innovative and receptive

    technology and system equipment partner at its

    side.

    a seal of quality equally embracing a promise of

    the Badischer Winzerkeller: Top quality directly

    from the producer. With this claim and the cor-

    responding farsightedness, Germanys largest

    wine producer was able to increase its yearly

    production volume to 30 million liters distributed

    in an assortment of more than 600 different

    wines, some of which bottled in innovative

    styles of packaging. One example is Rebstckle,

    a wine spritzer created by Badischer Winzerkel-

    ler that is distributed in 0.5-liter one-way PET

    bottles. The main requirements made of the

    new system included supplying a vacuum-less

    filling system and capabilities for processing an

    extensive range of bottle types coupled with

    assurance of maximum filling quality in conjunc-

    tion with facilities for flexible reaction to pos-

    sible new developments. The resulting heart of

    the line, a new 80-station KHS InnofillNRF-

    OFE balanced-pressure filling system capable of

    filling 20,000 bottles per hour is the largest KHS

    balanced-pressure filling system in operation in

    the German wine trade. Using the bottom-up

    method of filling with long filling tubes, the KHS

    InnofillNRF-OFE fills wine in bottles in a gen-

    tlest possible way thus enabling filling in practi-

    cal operation for the first time without any loss

    of quality and flavor but with a minimum of oxy-

    gen pickup. Numerous concealed and open

    tastings corroborated the quality lead provided

    by the new filling system. With the new rinser-

    filler-capper block, the Badischer Winzerkeller is

    already well prepared today for production

    innovations of tomorrow. Other individually

    designed bottle shapes or bottling in PET later i s

    no problem for the KHS solution that can handle

    every thing. With KHS, Badischer Winzerkeller

    has the right partner at its side for the future to

    also retain the outstanding product quality even

    of select wines. Even now, the joint quality phi-

    losophy is bearing rich fruit.

    SOLUTIONS FOR THEWINE, CHAMPAGNE, AND SPIRITS INDUSTRY

    A MASTERPIECE FOR JGERMEISTER:KHS FILLING AND PACKING TECHNOLOGY

    Jgermeister, the worlds most famous German

    spirit, began its international rise to fame as

    early as the 1960s and has always placed par-

    ticular emphasis on quality and its brand iden-

    tity, which is identical in all regions worldwide.

    With KHS, Jgermeister has found a competent

    partner in filling and packaging technology. In

    line with the mottostrength to strength suc-

    cess to success, Jgermeisters most recent

    German bottling location went into operation

    in Linden. Jgermeister consistently meets the

    increasing demand for it products by installing

    one of the worlds highest-performance spirits

    lines for format bottles. Today, a KHS line with

    a capacity of 20,000 bottles per hour is in ope-

    ration at the Linden plant where six different

    styles of Jgermeister bottle are currently being

    processed ranging in size from 0.35 to 1 liter.

    Because of its high flexibility, the system is also

    equipped to handle other types and sizes of

    bottle in the future. Painted in rich Jgermeister

    orange and herbal liqueur green, the entire line

    presents visible highlight suitable for the brand.

    From a technical standpoint, the Jgermeister

    line is compelling over the entire spectrum:

    ranging from the gentle depalletizing process

    to the modular dry area concept, perfect row

    removal, the variable rinse program provided

    by an electronically controlled double-channel

    rinser, up to the completely servo-driven rinser-

    filler-capper-labeler block. With this line, KHS

    offers a filling process predestined for high-

    quality spirits. The fill level principle of filling

    by means of a computer-controlled, 80-station

    KHS InnofillNRF-OFE filling system equipped

    with long filling tubes ensures exact fill levels

    and gentle-to-product filling without any loss

    of flavor and alcohol. The subsequent labeling

    process guarantees the optimum brand appea-

    rance of this high-quality spirit at the point of

    sale and ensures that Jgermeister is well pre-

    pared for continued perfectly designed success.

    Prerequisite for this is plant equipment that

    meets maximum demands and complies fully

    with Mast-Jgermeisters quality philosophy.

    With Jgermeister we are providing a premium spirit based on a concept,

    which only allows high-quality technical solutions to be used for bottling and packing.

    We made our decision in favor of KHS based on the impressive technical solutions offered.

    ITS THE MIX THAT DOES IT:FRUIT BRANDY PRODUCER BIMMERLE RELIES ON KNOW-HOW, HIGH-TECH, AND TRADITION

    Select products need not necessarily be expen-

    sive this is the company philosophy of the

    northern Black Forest-based noble fruit brandy

    distiller Bimmerle KG, producer of Germanys

    and Europes No. 1 brand of fruit brandy. With

    sales totaling 21 million bottles, the success of

    Bimmerle noble brandies therefore runs against

    the general trend. Fifty percent of production is

    distributed as brand name products to food

    retailers and the other fifty percent as generic

    brands to the discount sector. Bimmerles wide

    range of Lrch brand products is oriented

    entirely to customer demands as reflected in

    the broad variety of different bottle sizes and

    shapes. Whether 0.04-liter or 1-liter size

    everything is possible. What counts is above

    all the quality of the noble brandies and the

    appearance of the bottles and packaging.

    Quality was therefore clearly the most impor-

    tant aspect when it came to deciding on a new

    packaging line. A reliable technical solution,

    which was solid and rugged, and at the same

    time was equipped with the cutting-edge com-

    ponents, was implemented jointly with KHS.

    Further advantages include outstanding quality

    of workmanship, great ease of operation, good

    accessibility, and fast service. Today, a dry sec-

    tion solution is in operation at Bimmerle that

    incorporates the latest in technical components,

    and is distinguished by an individual design. The

    12,000 bottle-per-hour capacity line processes

    nineteen different types of bottle. Whether

    round, rectangular, or octagonal the versatile

    machinery is equipped for all conceivable bottle

    styles. KHS performance with regard to service

    was also convincing for Bimmerle. After the line

    was commissioned, an efficient service team

    either arrived quickly on site or provided rapid

    assistance by means of Remote Diagnostic Ser-

    vice mobile (KHS ReDiSmobile). All in all, the

    cooperation between Bimmerle and KHS is a

    win-win situation right down the line that has

    opened the way for further growth in the inter-

    national fruit brandy market.
