Flexible and compact: KHS systems at the Craft Brewers Conference in Nashville, TN

KHS USA, Inc. will be presenting its compact, efficient systems at this year’s BrewExpo America® which is staged as part of the Craft Brewers Conference. The machinery has been specially designed for small and medium-sized breweries, with operators profiting from the tried-and-tested technology of the system supplier’s high-performance plant equipment. The trade show focus will be on the Innofill Can C, a compact volumetric can filler which outputs 10,000 to 40,000 cans per hour. KHS will be exhibiting at Booth #1044 from May 1–3, 2018.

Craft beer continues to triumph worldwide, with the United States pioneers in this sector. KHS USA, Inc. has provided brewers with systems tailored to their specific requirements since the very start of the craft beer movement. Thanks to its 150 years of experience and established high-performance filling and packaging technology the manufacturer is able to satisfy the special demands made of quality and reliability in this field.

Keg filler for various capacity ranges

The CombiKeg R5 processes kegs with a volume of between seven and 58 liters – from internal and external washing through filling to conveying and on-board media tanks. It is therefore not just suitable for beer but also for soft drinks and wine.

For breweries which require a compact, semi-automatic system, keg washing and filling technology is available in the form of the Innokeg AF1-C1 which outputs up to 35 returnable and non-returnable kegs every 60 minutes.

Can filler for craft brewers

The filling and packaging technology specialist will also be exhibiting its Innofill Can C at the upcoming trade show; this produces between 10,000 and 40,000 volumetrically filled cans an hour. The compact combination of filler and seamer is manufactured as a plug-and-produce system at the local KHS factory and can thus be commissioned without the need for elaborate installation.

In addition to its show exhibits the KHS portfolio includes further machines for the reliable and flexible filling and packaging of beer and other beverages. The flexible Innofill Can DVD can filler for up to 132,000 cans per hour is just one of many examples. A dense network of local KHS employees ensures that the machinery is appropriately serviced and maintained.
