The Challenge
Required integration of volumetric filling, pressure-free conveying, and air blow drying for premium beer quality. The challenge was to accommodate the complete line within a space of 520 sq mtr, which had to be designed and executed successfully taking care of optimal operational and maintenance space.
Our Approach
Designed an end-to-end CAN filling and packaging line. Volumetric filler of 20 filling valves was key to vertical startup and product quality establishment on the first day of product trial run. Pressure-free dry-running conveyors are perfectly synchronized with all equipment, conveying cans without any scratch or dot on empty and filled cans. Semi-automatic hi-level depalletizer operates at 40% higher speed than the filler with 4-minute buffer capacity ensuring no can shortage to filler even during pallet changeover. Tunnel pasteurizer features automatic PU regulation (12-20 range) ensuring total PU within range even during unbalanced conditions especially during end of production, with external chilling controlling Beer Out Temperature below 32°C under all operating conditions. After successful supply and execution of returnable glass bottle line equipment (Tunnel pasteurizer, Case packer) at brewery in Rajasthan, an end-to-end CAN filling and packaging line was commissioned in May 2024 at Mount Shivalik Industries Ltd (MSIL), Rajasthan — a unit of KALS Brewery.
