Used KRONES glass bottling line - 18000 BPHTechnical Specifications & Performance DataThis complete glass bottling line for spirits is a high-performance, used bottling line engineered around premium OEM equipment. With a nominal speed of 18,000 bottles per hour, it delivers reliable throughput for mid-to-high volume beverage production and industrial packaging. The line handles standard spirits formats with precision and is fully integrated from depalletizing to labeling and end-of-line packaging.Production speed: 18,000 bottles per hourBottle formats: Compatible with 0.7L, 0.75L, 1.0L bottle formatsContainer types: Designed for Glass bottle handlingKey OEMs: Krones (core line), Zalkin (capping), plus Hartness, MSK, Garvens, Videojet, Langenpac, Marsh, Mapex, GassnerPrimary modules and models: Krones Sensometic filler, Krones Variojet rinser, Zalkin T9/360 cappers (x3), Krones Prontomodul labeller, Krones Linapac autopacker, Krones Variocart C-40 case erectors (x2), Krones Variocol H-120 case sealer, Garvens E40-DMS checkweighers (x2), Videojet 3330 laser coders (x2)Years of manufacture (predominant): 2004 core line, with labeling and coding upgrades in 2015 and 2016Line scope: Fully integrated from depalletizing, rinsing, filling, capping, labeling, inspection, coding, packing, case forming and sealing, to conveyingAdvanced Automation & Control SystemsThe line features comprehensive automation across all stations to ensure stable, synchronized operation at 18,000 bph. Continuous multi-head capping from Zalkin enables consistent closure application. In-line inspection and weighing provide real-time quality control and automated rejection. Laser coding and case printing integrate seamlessly for traceability and compliance within beverage production.Integrated controls for coordinated machine operation and changeoversIn-line inspection (fill level/visual) and checkweighing with automatic rejectLaser coders for high-speed, permanent coding on glass containersEnd-of-line automation including autopacking, case forming, and sealingProduction Line Integration CapabilitiesEngineered as a cohesive, second hand packaging system, the line offers end-to-end integration and stable handling of glass bottles. It is suitable for spirits bottling with format flexibility across common 0.7L, 0.75L, and 1.0L sizes. The conveyor network covers container, pack, and pallet levels, supporting streamlined material flow and efficient accumulation.Inline operation from depalletizer to labeller and end-of-lineFormat flexibility across 0.7L, 0.75L, and 1.0LFull conveyor network for containers, packs, and palletsCompatible with additional upstream/downstream equipment as requiredMachine Condition & Maintenance HistoryThis used bottling line has been maintained to a very high standard with regular OEM servicing. It is currently in production with excellent operational performance and strong reliability. Availability is planned for October–November 2026, allowing for structured decommissioning and professional line dismantling and relocation.Currently in production with stable performanceRegular OEM maintenance and servicingExcellent overall conditionOperational Performance & VersatilityDesigned specifically for spirits, the line combines precise filling, robust capping, and flexible labeling to achieve premium product presentation and consistent quality. Multiple labeling modules and aggregates enable tailored decoration, while inspection and weighing systems deliver reliable quality assurance.
