Thanks to innovative technology, modern systems and machines enable high-precision filling, packaging and labeling of beverages. This enables companies to meet the constantly growing demands of the market. We provide an insight into the world of mechanical engineering in the beverage industry in articles and videos.
Collaborative palletising as the answer to monotonous and strenuous work
In many production and logistics environments, palletising processes are among the areas in which automation is rapidly gaining relevance. Cartons weighing tens of kilograms, uniform movements and constantly repeated lifting operations represent a considerable ergonomic... Palletising solution with robotsGEA valve technology reduces energy consumption in beverage plants
Compressed air is one of the largest, but often underestimated, energy consumers in beverage plants. New valve concepts show how demand can be significantly reduced without compromising process reliability or hygiene. One approach focuses directly on pneumatic drives. Energy-efficient process valvesSelf-sufficient energy supply for breweries through biomass conversion
The question of a stable and sustainable energy supply is becoming increasingly important in strategic decisions for breweries. Rising energy prices, regulatory requirements and pressure to reduce emissions are forcing operators to take a holistic view of their processe... Sustainable brewing TechnologyTransparent dispensing towers as a design element in modern catering
The way beer is tapped and presented has long been more than just a technical issue. In bars, breweries and dining rooms, the dispensing system is part of the overall experience. It is visible in the room, shapes the first impression and conveys attitude – in terms of c... Dispensing technologyWater treatment, sustainability and drinking water in industrial processes
Clean water is no longer a matter of course in industry, but a critical production factor. In the brewing and beverage industry in particular, the question of how drinking and process water can be made permanently available, hygienically safe and at the same time resour...

The focus is on small production volumes, flexible application options, and a manageable investm... Can filling for breweriesHigh-pressure centrifugal pump made of stainless steel for hygienic food processes
In the food industry, the demands on process technology are constantly increasing. Higher pressures, stricter hygiene requirements and, at the same time, the desire for more efficient, low-maintenance systems characterize the design of modern production lines. Pumps & heat exchangers for the food industryDigital dispensing with sensor technology for dispensing systems and breweries
Digital systems have been finding their way into areas where processes were long considered purely mechanical. The dispensing of beverages is one such area. In bars, restaurants, and at events, it is not only the product itself that determines quality and profitability,... Dispensing technology with sensor technologyDigital refrigerator with AI and cashierless payment
The sale of refrigerated products is facing a structural change. Where traditional sales areas, staff, and fixed opening hours were once necessary, automated solutions are increasingly emerging that function independently of time and place. A key driver of this developm... Refrigerator as an autonomous vending machineFerrum high-speed can sealer with hygienic design and quick change
In industrial beverage filling, the final step determines the quality and stability of the product. The can closure is not only a mechanical seal, but also a safety-relevant process that must function reproducibly at high speeds. SmartCan can fillerInspection technology for beverages and packaging in transition
Product safety requirements in the beverage industry have increased significantly in recent years. Increasing line speeds, new packaging formats and a growing degree of automation mean that errors must be detected earlier, more precisely and more reliably. This is preci... Product safety in the beverage industryHygienic design and energy efficiency in modern beer fillers
Beverage filling is one of the most sensitive stages of industrial production processes. Hardly any other area combines so many requirements at the same time: maximum hygiene, consistent product quality, minimal resource consumption and high ergonomic relief for operati... Beverage fillingPrecise dosing technology for water treatment and CIP in beverage processes
In the food and beverage industry, it is not only the quality of the raw materials that determines the end product, but also the control of the accompanying processes. Water treatment and cleaning of the equipment are among the most sensitive areas. Dosing Technology BeverageModern beer filling between efficiency, hygiene and automation
The requirements for filling technology in breweries have changed significantly in recent years. Rising energy prices, growing cost pressure, higher hygiene standards and the desire for more flexible production lines are influencing the investment decisions of many comp... Modern beer filling
