Used KRONES Gera Returnable Glass Bottling Line, 20000 BPHTechnical
Specifications & Performance DataThis used bottling line is a complete
returnable glass bottling line designed for handling bottles in
crates, covering the process from crate preparation through filling,
labeling, inspection, crate packing and palletizing. The line combines
equipment from Krones, Kettner, Rink, Syscona, Matec, Falterbaum and
Bohrer.Filler capacity: 20,000 bphFilling type: isobaric filling
(counter-pressure) - ( Heineken-style)Premix capacity: 22,000
L/hContainer formats: 0.33L and 0.75L returnable glass
bottlesPackaging configuration: bottles in cratesClosure type: plastic
screw caps Labeling technology: wet-glue labeling with 2
aggregatesMain equipment years: 1996–2016Advanced Automation &
Control SystemsThe line includes automated systems for crate sorting,
crate decapping, bottle unloading, washing, bottle inspection, closure
inspection and finished-bottle quality control. The Krones Linatronic
empty bottle inspector, Syscona Expert FHK closure inspection system
and Krones Checkmat inspection equipment support controlled handling
and verification throughout the returnable bottle process.Automated
crate handling and inspection equipment can help reduce manual
intervention while supporting repeatable product flow between washing,
filling, labeling and repacking stages.Production Line Integration
CapabilitiesThis complete bottling line is configured for returnable
glass bottle production in reusable crates. Its process layout
supports the preparation of returned containers, removal of existing
closures, bottle and crate washing, empty-bottle inspection, filling
and screw capping, wet-glue labeling, final inspection, crate packing
and palletizing.Machine typeManufacturer / modelYearDecraterKettner

installed crate depalletizer and palletizer are present on site but
are not recommended for transfer because of their age and outdated
technology. Modern depalletizing equipment can be integrated
separately into the line configuration.Machine Condition & Maintenance
HistoryThe line is in production and assembly until its scheduled
dismantling in February 2027. A dry-cycle buyer inspection can be
arranged. Equipment is supplied as a multi-year installation, with
listed machine years ranging from 1996 to 2016.Capacity and technical
data are declared figures. Buyers should assess the suitability of the
18,000 bph filler output for their intended production requirements
during inspection and project planning.Operational Performance &
VersatilityThis second hand industrial packaging line is dedicated to
returnable glass bottle operations. It is suitable for beverage
production applications requiring reusable crates, plastic screw caps
and wet-glue labels. The two labeling aggregates provide the
capability to apply multiple labels during the labeling
stage.Integrated bottle and closure inspection systems support quality
checks before and after filling, while the bottle washer and crate
washer address the cleaning requirements associated with returnable
glass bottle circulation.Installation Requirements & Site
PreparationInstallation requires a site capable of accommodating a
complete returnable glass bottling line with crate handling, bottle
washing, filling, labeling, inspection and palletizing sections. The
line should be integrated with suitable conveyors and material
handling equipment to maintain continuous bottle and crate
flowmissioning planning should include utility connections and
coordination for washing, filling, premix preparation, inspection and
automated crate-handling equipment. Replacement or integration of
modern depalletizing equipment should be considered as part of the
installation scope.Safety Standards & Compliance CertificationThe line
incorporates automated inspection and controlled material handling
stages that support consistent operation in a glass bottling
environment. Bottle handling, crate transport, washing, filling and
palletizing areas should be assessed during installation to ensure
appropriate guarding, emergency-stop coverage and operator access
arrangements.As with any used bottling line, the final installation
should include a site-specific review of safety systems, electrical
interfaces, guarding and hygiene procedures before production
start-up.
