OverviewUsed Complete Krones PET Bottling Line â 22,000 BPH
â Overview This second hand, ultra-clean Krones PET bottling line
is a complete, high-efficiency solution for beverage production and
industrial packaging across cider, sparkling water, still water and
CO2-mixed juices. Built by Krones and GEA in 2010 and kept in
production with OEM service, the line delivers up to 22,000 bottles
per hour (0.5 L) and 18,000 bph (1.5 L), combining a Contiform S12M
blow molder directly coupled to an ultra-clean isobaric filler-capper
bloc. It is a market-ready used bottling line designed for
reliability, hygiene, and quick format changeovers in PET.Technical

volumetric/isobaric filling ensures accurate dosing and minimized
product lossInstallation Requirements & Site Preparation The following
guidelines are indicative and should be confirmed during a site survey
and OEM review:Electrical: industrial supply compatible with European
specs (e.g., ~400 V, 50 Hz, 3-phase); proper grounding and harmonics
controlCompressed air: clean, dry air for blow molding, actuators and
pneumatics (typically 6â10 bar; drying to low dew point)Process
gases & utilities: CO2 for carbonation and product pressurization;
steam and/or hot water for CIP and pasteurization; chilled and
