Technical Specifications & Performance Data Line type: Used complete
bottling line (second hand) configured for PET still water
Manufacturers: Krones and Gebo Cermex Year of build: 2013 Nominal
speed: up to 31,500 bottles/hour (0.35 L and 0.50 L) Bottle formats:
0.35 L, 0.50 L Container type: PET with 29/25 neck Product type: Still
water (non-carbonated) Main modules: Krones Contifeed preform feeder,
Krones Preform Check Inspector, Krones Contiform stretch blow molder,
Krones ErgoBloc L 40-15 blowâfillâcap monoblock, Krones
Checkmat cap inspector, Krones Contiroll roll-fed labeler, Gebo Cermex
shrink wrapper, Gebo Cermex case packer Line condition: In production
Documentation: OEM manuals available Safety: Safety features and
guarding included Advanced Automation & Control Systems This used
bottling line leverages Kronesâ integrated line control for
synchronized blow molding, filling, capping, labeling, and end-of-line
packaging. Centralized HMI provides recipe management for 0.35 L and
0.50 L formats, production counters, fault diagnostics, and trend
monitoring. Inline quality control is built-in: the Preform Check
Inspector ensures preform integrity pre-blow, while the Checkmat
verifies cap presence, application angle, and height at full speed.
Automated reject stations remove nonconforming containers without
stopping production. Electrical and controls documentation is supplied
with the manuals. The line is equipped with interlocked guards,
category-rated e-stops, and line-safety logic to protect operators and
simplify maintenance interventionsâall aligned with modern
industrial packaging and beverage production practices. Production
Line Integration Capabilities Designed as a compact, high-efficiency
solution, the Krones ErgoBloc L eliminates traditional transfer points
between blow molder, filler, and capper, reducing risk of
contamination and obviating a conventional bottle rinser for PET.
Upstream, the Contifeed preform feeder and vision inspection integrate
seamlessly with the blow molder. Downstream, the Contiroll labeler and
Gebo Cermex shrink wrapper and case packer provide tight integration
for secondary packaging. Standard interface signals and recipe
handling allow quick format changeovers between 0.35 L and 0.50 L. The
modular layout supports further integration with conveyors,
accumulation, printers/encoders, and palletizing cells where required.
Machine Condition & Maintenance History The line is currently in
production and demonstrates stable performance at its specified speed
range. Wear parts and format sets for the listed formats are included
as per current operation. Manuals support preventive maintenance and
troubleshooting, contributing to reliable uptime and predictable
operating costs typical of second hand Krones/Gebo Cermex equipment.
Operational Performance & Versatility Optimized for still water in PET
with 29/25 neck handling, the ErgoBloc L provides hygienic
blow-to-fill transfer, precise filling, and consistent capping torque
control. The Contiroll roll-fed labeler delivers high-accuracy
wrap-around labels at full line speed, while the end-of-line section
ensures stable bundles and secure case packing for logistics. While
this used bottling line is purpose-built for PET water, experienced
integrators can evaluate adaptations for other non-carbonated
beverages such as juice drinks, teas, or flavored waters (without
pulp). Glass or aluminum applications (e.g., beer or wine
cans/bottles) are not included in U6354234 the current scope and
would require different modules, but are mentioned here to highlight
the broader landscape of beverage production and industrial packaging
solutions. Installation Requirements & Site Preparation Footprint:
Linear integrated layout; allocate straight runs for preform feeding,
blowâfillâcap monoblock, labeling, and end-of-line. Provide
service clearances around each module. Power: Electrical supply per
OEM specifications (available in manuals); dedicated panels and
earthing required. Compressed air: High-pressure air for stretch blow
molding plus plant air for pneumatics; quality per blow molder
requirements. Cooling: Chilled water/glycol for mold and process
cooling with adequate flow and heat rejection capacity. Process
utilities: Product water treatment supply to the filler, CIP
connections as per site standards, drains and hygienic floor slopes.
Environment: Controlled, clean production area with suitable HVAC and
lighting for food-grade operations. Networking: Provision for line
data interfaces and coding/inspection systems. Safety Standards &
Compliance Certification Built by Krones and Gebo Cermex, the line
features interlocked guarding, lockout points, emergency stops, and
integrated safety logic across blow molding, filling, capping,
labeling, shrink wrapping, and case packing. Hygienic design of the
blow-to-fill transfer reduces open-container exposure, supporting high
standards for drinking water bottling. Safety features are included,
