At drinktec 2022, we presented a vision. In 2025, we’re bringing that vision to life, in fully automated and connected line concepts for the future. 

But beyond this integrated concept, we’re also highlighting individual solutions from Krones that demonstrate how deliberate, well-thought-out actions can yield valuable gains and savings in your ongoing production operations.

For many beverage makers, the decision to invest in a new line is driven by a need for a small physical footprint and therefore a compact layout. But space requirements are just one of many aspects informing our efforts to develop new and improved solutions for glass containers.

Krones knows all about customers’ needs and wants – and we’ve got the right solutions, too. At drinktec, you can see first-hand how we’ve put our vision for space savings, digital transformation and sustainability into practice.

The can is a popular and sustainable packaging option. For beverage producers who use cans, Krones offers turnkey lines from a single source – right through to the high-output range. 

Visit us at drinktec and get to know the many machines and features that will not only take your production speed to the next level but also make you a leader in terms of sustainability and digital innovation.

If you want to ensure a microbiologically safe environment for sensitive drinks, there’s no way round aseptic filling. So it’s hardly surprising that the technology is booming right now. Our developers are also huge fans – which is why they’re continually finding new ways to make our systems even better. First and foremost, they’ve focused on shrinking the physical footprint, reducing resource consumption, shortening cleaning times and speeding up product change-overs.

Whether you are already running aseptic equipment or are interested in adding this pioneering technology, we’ve got plenty for you to explore at drinktec.

We take a holistic view of things. And so, when it comes to product manufacture, we support our customers throughout the entire process, from the raw materials right through to the finished product. 

To ensure that our efforts are successful, we rely on the vast expertise of the entire Krones family, leveraging synergies and know-how across the group. And drinktec is an excellent opportunity to meet representatives from all of our companies in one place. In collaboration with our subsidiaries Steinecker, Milkron, HST, Evoguard, Ampco Pumps, and Perfinox and GHS, we’ll show an integrated, resource-saving process technology portfolio.

Short pathways, lean processes and agile material flows that can be adapted to current production and shipping needs with utmost flexibility – when it comes to intralogistics, absolute efficiency is key. In order to achieve it, we leave nothing to chance in the planning and execution of intralogistics projects.

The requisite expertise here comes from System Logistics. With storage and retrieval, order-picking and driverless transport systems as well as the matching software solutions, System Logistics is your ideal partner for implementing integrated intralogistics solutions.

If you’re visiting drinktec and walk from the Krones stand in Hall B6 into Hall C6, you’ll arrive once again at Krones. Or rather, you’ll find three Krones subsidiaries specialising in plastics beyond filling and packaging.

Netstal, MHT and Krones Recycling are teaming up as a single point of contact at the drinktec PET Point for those seeking circular solutions for plastics. They will present new, innovative technologies and configurations that don’t just close the loop but reinvent it.

Where can I save energy and other resources in my production operations? How can I prevent waste and achieve circularity? Which sustainability goals are realistic – and what do I need in order to achieve them? These days, companies can’t afford to ignore questions like these. Which is why we are designing innovations that reconcile sustainability and profitability.

Whether it’s our enviro-certified technologies, digital services for optimising production and resource use or our comprehensive energy and sustainability consulting, we’ve got solutions that will sustainably transform our industry. At drinktec, you’ll learn how you can use them to maximum effect for your specific application and how you can set yourself up for a successful, sustainable future.

Krones and digital transformation are a perfect match. Krones has long been much more than a traditional machinery manufacturer. As a technology company serving the beverage and liquid food industry, we help our customers implement digital solutions that enable them to achieve lasting success despite increasing complexity and fast-paced change. We can do that thanks to our broad portfolio, which is already tailored to the industry, offering a diverse range of promising software solutions that help bring clarity to complex production processes, optimise them and take them to the next level of efficiency and sustainability. 

At drinktec, we’ll give you a look into the digital future, in which connectivity and artificial intelligence will play a major role. And we can assure you that Krones will help you take your production to new heights of performance.
