Technical Specifications & Performance Data The KETTNER Kontipack E5/A
is a second hand case packer engineered for high-speed industrial
packaging in beverage production. Built in 1993 and maintained in
storage, it is well suited to integrate into a used bottling line
handling small-format bottles at elevated throughput. Manufacturer /

Machine safety features included Advanced Automation & Control Systems
Designed for dependable uptime, the Kontipack E5/A employs PLC-based
controls with electro-pneumatic actuation for precise bottle grouping
and case loading. Photoelectric sensors monitor infeed lanes, case
presence, and discharge to reduce mis-picks and ensure pack integrity.
The control panel provides straightforward operation with recipe-based
format selection for 12- and 24-bottle configurations. Electrical
specifications are 380 V, 50 Hz, 35 A. Integrated emergency stop
circuitry, interlocked guards, and access panels support safe
operation and maintenance. Manuals are included to facilitate
commissioning, parameter adjustment, and preventive maintenance.
Production Line Integration Capabilities This case packer integrates
seamlessly downstream of rinsing, filling, capping, and labeling
stations on a used bottling line, handling the final grouping and
case-loading step prior to case sealing and palletizing. It is
compatible with upstream conveyors, accumulation tables, and
downstream case sealers, case erectors, checkweighers, and
palletizers. Format changeovers between 12- and 24-bottle patterns are
recipe-driven, with mechanical adjustments for lane guides and
collation tooling. With appropriate change parts, the system can be
configured for other 0.20 L bottle geometries and similar small
formats. Machine Condition & Maintenance History The machine is
currently in storage with its safety features and documentation
included. Overall presentation is consistent with a professionally
maintained second hand unit from a leading manufacturer in industrial
packaging. A pre-installation inspection and routine service are
recommended to optimize performance after recommissioning. Operational
Performance & Versatility Optimized for 0.20 L glass bottles of
sparkling wine, the Kontipack E5/A delivers stable, repeatable
collation across four infeed lanes and transfers into premade cartons
with hot-melt gluing. With suitable tooling, it can be adapted for
other beverage production needs including water, juice, beer, and
still or sparkling wine. Primary compatibility is with glass
containers; however, with the correct guides and dividers, the machine
can be engineered to handle PET bottles or aluminum containers where
case packing of these formats is required. Consistent grouping at high
speeds supports premium pack presentation and downstream logistics
efficiency. Installation Requirements & Site Preparation Allow for
machine footprint of approximately 2500 mm width by 4000 mm length,
plus service clearance for safe access to operator and maintenance
sides. Ensure level flooring, appropriate anchoring points, and
conveyor interface heights aligned with existing line equipment.
Electrical supply must meet 380 V, 50 Hz, 35 A. A clean, dry
compressed air supply is typically required for pneumatic actuators
and glue system operation. Integrate with plant MES or line control as
needed for start/stop interlocks and jam signaling. Safety Standards &
Compliance Certification Safety guarding, interlocked doors, and
emergency stop devices are included to support safe operation in
industrial environments. The machineâs hygienic design and
accessible contact areas facilitate cleaning protocols suitable for
beverage production lines. Final compliance should be verified against
local regulations and current corporate safety standards during
installation and commissioning.
