KHS
I
t gives operators the
technological innovations of the
big machines and is convincing
with its compact design and quick
installation: with the Innofill Can
C can filler KHS GmbH satisfies
the demand of smaller breweries
on the international market.
Since introducing the prototype
at drinktec 2017 there has been
increased interest in the new
technology from the Dortmund
systems supplier. This is one of the
reasons why KHS is launching a
further machine size with a greater
capacity to market this year.
At the world premiere of the
Innofill Can C at drinktec
2017 Canadian craft brewery
Steamworks procured the very
first machine with a serial number
of 001. In commissioning the
can filler in February 2018 the
Dortmund systems provider laid
14
the foundations for the future
machine series. “The high order
entry demonstrates that this
machine concept is already
proving convincing,” says Kevin
Rathbun, project manager at KHS
USA. The machine manufacturer
has already sold a number of the
new can fillers worldwide.
KHS shipped the can filler in a
single container to the customer
in Vancouver where it was
commissioned on site on a plug-
and-produce basis without any
need for complicated installation
processes. As the 21 filling and
three seaming stations, valve
manifold, cladding and control
cabinet on the Innofill Can C form
an enclosed, ready-to-produce
machine unit, all that had to be
done during installation was to
connect up the electricity cables,
piping and conveyors.
