Challenges
KHS needed to build more energy efficient and high-performance bottling machinery for the Hirsch Brewery, while controlling product variants and reducing cost in the process.
Modular Product Architecture
Brewing Award-Winning Beer
The Hygienic Design concept is only possible with PTC Creo. We use it to replace corners and edges with curves and slopes, so liquids run off and cleanliness improves. We also make sure there are no exposed electrical elements, pilot valves, and control hoses in the filling valve hygiene area Andreas Krieg, head of construction at the KHS site
Results
- Reduced power consumption of machinery by 15% & reduced weight by 25%
- Reduced time to market by over 50%
- Power consumption of new system is 40% less than similar models
