Used Complete Krones CSD PET Bottling Line â 22,000 BPH –
Overview This second hand, ultra-clean Krones CSD PET bottling line is
a complete, high-efficiency solution for beverage production and
industrial packaging across carbonated soft drinks, cider, sparkling
water, still water and CO2-mixed juices. Built by Krones and GEA in
2010 and kept in production with OEM service, the line delivers up to
22,000 bottles per hour (0.5 L) and 18,000 bph (1.5 L), combining a
Contiform S12M blow molder directly coupled to an ultra-clean isobaric
filler-capper bloc. It is a market-ready used bottling line designed
for reliability, hygiene, and quick format changeovers in PET.
