KHS – the specialist
for water and soft drinks
As a provider of complete systems for the
water and soft drink industry, KHS offers
attractive solutions ranging from process
technology, special filling systems, and cappers, to labeling. For instance, we offer highefficiency process technology solutions such
as Paramix, Contimix, or Batchmix, ensuring
high product quality and safety. With reliable
performance, our very special pressure-filling
systems DPG, DRV, DRS, and DNRT for bottles,
or DVD and DMD for cans are compelling. For
years, KHS has been developing technological
solutions the beverage industry can be proud
of. KHS makes an all-out effort to protect
most of its innovations – particularly in the
field of filling technology – with numerous
international patents, so that our customers
don‘t just profit from the latest in machine
technology, but can also be sure of a competitive advantage in their industry thanks to the
purchase of machine components protected
by trademark property rights.
For instance, KHS has revolutionized the bottle
pressing and sealing process of its DRV volumetric soft drink filling system by transmitting
the pressurization pressure to the pressing
mechanism. This allows the filling system to
do entirely without the usual lifting elements
normally used for this process. The same principle was also adopted for placing and sealing
rinsing plates.
This is a good example of KHS‘ commitment
to make a good thing even better and more
effective for their customers, ensuring a longer service lifetime without losing sight of the
cost-effectiveness of the machines. Details
like this often make a decisive difference in
the effectiveness of a solution.

Water as the basis for innovative
mixed beverages of the future
The global soft drink market is changing:
innovative, healthy, and energy-boosting
wellness, sport, and tea mix beverages
in easy-to-use PET bottles are becoming increasingly popular and making
their mark on store shelves. For all these
innovative thirst quenchers, water, the
basis, plays a decisive role. Whether carbonated or not, with or without flavor
additives – with plenty of know-how, its
years of experience, and its high level of
competence, KHS provides complete process technology for the filling of the very
first of thirst-quenchers – water. From
water preparation to the mixing systems
– all from a single source, with no interfaces, right into the filler. For every type
of water and soft drink, every form of PET
container, with pressure or without, and
perfectly suited for normal, sensitive, and
non-carbonated products. KHS supplies
maximum flexibility for their entire product range.
The origin of all life: Water
SOLUTIONS FOR THE
MINERAL WATER AND SOFT DRINK INDUSTRY
WATER IS THE SOURCE OF LIFE
AND OUR MOTIVATION FOR INNOVATION
Every drop counts
Be it carbonated water or not, with or without
flavor additives, be it glass bottles, PET bottles,
or cans: the water market is booming. That‘s
why it‘s important to fill and package the most
valuable raw material on Earth both efficiently
and gently. The image of water has changed a
lot in the last few years: from a traditional thirst
quencher to a scene, gourmet, or wellness beverage. From a basic dietary need to a lifestyle
product for an exotic, healthy taste experience.
Water has become a trendy beverage, especially
due to the increasing health consciousness of
the population and increased sports activities.
Anyone who eats healthy today also places very
particular expectations on food and of course
water. This, in turn, leads to an increased diversification in this market. After all, the ultimate
goal is to satisfy consumer needs.
Limitless variety
No wonder that today there is a water for every
type and every taste: non-carbonated water,
pure or with fruit flavoring or tea additives,
bubbly carbonated water with extra oxygen
added, as a fruit juice spritzer or as an absolutely
classical sparkling spring or mineral water. The
personal tastes of the consumer are boundless.
Thus, the filling technology used by the mineral
water industry requires the highest degree of
variety and flexibility in production. Those who
want to be successful on today‘s market have to
present the consumer with innovative products
and react to ever-changing consumer trends.
Not all waters are the same
That‘s why the mineral water distinguishes
between four variants for which KHS provides
the ideal filling and packaging solutions: mineral
water, spring water, table water, and natural
healing water.
Changing climate conditions
Ever-increasing temperatures, especially in
summer, are also resulting in a sharply increased demand for water, leading more often
to a surplus of empty bottles in production. For
this reason, new solutions are required here for
smooth production operation at extremely high
system throughput. With KHS as a partner, you
are ready to meet these requirements – with
flexible system solutions, short reaction times,
and our years of experience in the field of water
and soft drinks.

IT‘S ALL A QUESTION OF INTRALOGISTICS:
WHEN IT COMES TO SYSTEM PLANNING, KHS PLAYS IT SAFE
From plant engineering to intralogistics
One of the particular strengths of KHS is in
planning and implementation of complete production areas, for the beverage and the food
and non-food industries. It‘s no wonder. Experience, competence, and product and process
know-how all work together as a perfect whole.
Whether you need solutions for individual systems developed with convincing results and
implemented in the field, or complete intralogistics designs planned and optimized by KHS.
The logistic processes upstream and downstream of the filling system itself are also gaining increased importance in the soft drink
industry. Only specific control of the internal
material flow related to all aspects of the filling
process and beyond can continue to optimize
utilization of the system.
Holistic approach and planning
through simulation
So today, it‘s not just the product filling process
itself that is the focus of planning in water and
soft drinks. Rather, the holistic approach to the
internal logistics processes – from receiving of
raw materials and supplies, to production and
temporary storage in suitable storage systems,
to the provision of the ready-packed and pickand-place end products for shipping.
Thus the corresponding simulation of complex
systems through KHS Innosim®, which provides
reliable, scalable, and quick results, contributes
significantly to optimum planning and implementation of intralogistical requirements. Moreover,
the entire internal process can be reliably modeled in the KHS Innosim® ED logistics simulator –
right down to the reproduction of a complete
automatic warehouse in its full functionality.
Even in the planning phase, the complete
system is simulated in detail by KHS

Added value during planning
Customer-specific production requirements are implemented by KHS in a goaloriented manner:
’Ensuring highest system availability
’Achieving the best possible efficiency
for the entire line
’Optimum cost/benefit ratio
The KHS scope of delivery goes well
beyond the installation itself:
’Consulting on all issues concerning
intralogistics
’Planning and optimization of the
company‘s internal material flows
’Project planning for complete installations
’Creation of innovative customerspecific system concepts
’Optimization of existing filling lines

COCA-COLA RELIES ON KHS SYSTEMs
The Coca-Cola label is backed
by quality – worldwide
In Indonesia, one of the future markets for the
soft drink industry, where Coca-Cola has already
been active for some time, investment is being
made not only in capacity but also in quality.
Using a solution developed by KHS, the everpopular PET bottle is being filled on the Indonesian growth market, too. These are bought and
drunk with particular popularity at the so-called
”warungs“, mobile street-side vendor stalls. The
greatest competitor of Coca-Cola is currently
still traditionally prepared tea, which can be
bought on any street corner. To accelerate their
growth on the Indonesian market even more,
Coca-Cola is more han ever relying on quality –
both in their beverages and also with high-quality, powerful KHS systems. CCBI in Cibitung, for
instance, is operating a high-performance KHS
line with an output capacity of 1,000 bottles per
minute that is able to process both carbonated
soft drinks and hot filled teas.
An economically
compelling concept by KHS
Because the management at Coca-Cola Indonesia was immediately impressed by the efficient
operation of the line, an order soon followed for
another KHS production line to fill 1.5-liter PET
bottles, at an output of 350 bottles per minute.
The overall design was so attractive that CocaCola selected KHS as the complete system provider. A special distinction – since CCBI usually
purchases each machine individually after completing its own project planning. Factors in the
decision for quality provider KHS were primarily
the low susceptibility to failure and the efficient
availability of replacement parts.

THE RECIPE FOR GEROLSTEINER‘S SUCCESS:
INNOVATIVE PRODUCTS AND SYSTEMS
Into the future with the 5-liter PET bottle
With a market share of 9.3 percent, the Gerolsteiner brand, increasingly advanced from a
national to a European brand, is not only number one among German mineral water brands,
but also a trendsetter in PET refillables and a leader in innovation. A most recent example: the
Gerolsteiner Office Line, which is a heretofore
unique innovation in the German mineral
water industry. The office is the target group of
the 5-liter PET non-refillable bottle, filled with
Gerolsteiner Naturell and a portable cooling
system – from pharmacies and doctor‘s offices
to attorney‘s offices, other office facilities, and
hotels. That positions it excellently with respect
to traditional large-volume tapped systems
containing table water, spring water, or tap
water.
Thanks to the newly developed KHS Innofill ®
NV normal pressure filling system by KHS, it
was possible to optimally satisfy requirements
such as maximum microbial and hygienic safety
in the filling and capping process.
12
Contact-free filling takes place through an
open-jet filling valve – without sealing or pressing bottle mouths against the filling elements.
The valve components do not come into contact with the bottle opening. Each individual
snap-on cap is then fitted accurately at the prescribed angle for easy removal. The finishing
touch in the filler/capper block is the filler table
that, thanks to its geometric form, ensures the
specific draining of product residue, cleaning
water, and foam towards the floor. Servo drives
are also connected here in order to ensure exact
synchronized operation in the case of external
influences.
Perfect labeling and packing – with KHS
After the filling process, bottles reach the KHS
Innoket® Roland 4/2 labeling machine, which
combines maximum precision with calculated
technical simplicity. The subsequent packing
and palletizing process is handled by a KHS articulated robotic system, which uses simple system input and gripper head switching to enable
quick function changes.
In addition, a KHS alignment system is also in
use here, which employs form-fitting turning to
ensure the exact orientation of the filled bottles.

Sinalco: using KHS keg technology
for success in the restaurant trade
Sinalco, a premium brand product experiencing an impressive rebirth around the world, is
bottled in Germany by the Hövelmann Beverage
Group in Duisburg-Walsum with the latest in
KHS keg technology.
A brand traditionally at home in the restaurant,
Sinalco is now making a comeback – 86 percent
of that in kegs, that is, Sinalco variants Orange,
Cola, Cola light, Cola Mix, Lemon, Apple Spritzer,
and table water racked in 10-liter and 20-liter
kegs. No wonder, because the keg is a type of
packaging that has become familiar in the restaurant trade and which combines the advantage of low space requirement with simple
handling and maximum hygiene. The sealed
stainless steel containers allow no contact of
the filled product with the environment. The
nominal throughput of the modular KHS keg
system is about 80 kegs/hr and can be tripled
at any time by integration of additional washing
and racking lines.
14
KHS has combined high technology with high
flexibility for Sinalco, thus offering expansion
opportunities for the future with easy-to-ship
Sinalco kegs for the international restaurant
trade.
The right mix makes the difference
Particular features of the complete KHS system located upstream of the filler area are an
KHS Innopro ® PARAMIX CMX blender and an
KHS Innopro ® KZE flash pasteurizer, which is
used especially for the Sinalco Apple Spritzer.
Also installed: a heat exchanger that cools the
product filled to the predefined filling temperature. The KHS Innopro ® Paramix CMX handles
the task of continuously producing carbonated
beverages and integrates the water and syrup
component deaeration, dosing, and mixing
processing steps and subsequent carbonating
in a single unit. Moreover, the KHS Innokeg ®
management system provides comprehensive
information at the push of a button, for instance
about the proper condition of the kegs before
they reach the washing or racking station,
thus making a decisive contribution to quality
management at Sinalco.
A status is stored for each individual keg in a
database, which can then provide information about the rejection of a keg at any time.
With this KHS system, Sinalco has laid the best
groundwork for continuing their successful entry
in the German and international restaurant trade
in the future.

pop, have made RhönSprudel a trendsetter.
Equally as diverse as their beverage range is
their assortment of bottles: besides traditional
glass bottles, RhönSprudel is relying increasingly on the lightweight PET alternative – both
as refillables and in the area of one-way and
two-way bottles.
As a partner of the RhönSprudel Group for
many years, KHS supplies system technology
for their refillable PET, non-refillable PET, and
two-way PET processing. There are a total of 11
KHS lines in operation within the RhönSprudel
Group. Innovative KHS technology is ideally suited
for the filling of all RhönSprudel products, and
is used for the filling of still mineral water and
spritzers.
