Integration at its best

The leading producer in Saxony-Anhalt the Sch Schloss Quelle mineral water is now also bottling beer. For a new 1-litre PET bottle, the company had to implement wet adhesive labelling in addition to hot adhesive labelling on the existing PET line. The problem: the Krones Canmatic hot adhesive machine blocked with the filler from the manufacturer Krones needed to be replaced at the block with a new solution.

RENNER S 1200 Combi directly at the Krones filler

The The solution a new RENNER S 1200 Combi for wet andhot adhesive labels, which shares the main drive of the Krones filler. A major advantage: the shared safety circuit. The safety technology itself was implemented together with Krones as an interface partner.

Economically reliable …

The Nordson high-pressure system integrated in the hot adhesive unit reduces adhesive by up to 40 percent compared with conventional roller application. In wet adhesive operation, the integrated lantern gear circuit ensures that no labels are dispensed for missing bottles. If a gap in the pack flow is detected in the bottle infeed, the gluing palette moves away from the hopper at the correct time.

… and future-proof

„RENNER carried out this complex project with high quality and built-in investment protection,“ reports Horst Braunisch, General Manager at Schlossbrunnen Wüllner. „Because thanks to the preparation for our own infeed and drive, we can also use the machine for a new line in future if necessary.“
