Overview

The filling line for returnable glass bottles is currently still in use in a mineral water bottling plant in Germany. The condition of the entire line is good, as it has been regularly maintained and continuously serviced. Over time, almost all controls on the older machines were also converted to Siemens S7. Furthermore, in 2005 the entire conveyor system was replaced by Sidel conveyors with associated conveyor control. The plant has a very compact design, which makes it easy to operate even with few personnel. Sidel’s buffer tables ensure good buffer times.
