The can offers many advantages
What’s more, the canning line has been configured for small batches. The brewery will thus be able to fill volumes as low as 15 hectolitres per beer type, which especially benefits the small, private brewers in this region as well as breweries offering many specialty beers. Since Georg Rittmayer is the president of the Private Breweries of Bavaria association, he pays particular attention to their specific needs.
The company opted for the Craftmate C filler from Krones, which features cutting-edge filling technology. The machine boasts an extremely compact layout, offers field-proven Krones technology at a fair price and specifically addresses quality-conscious plants operating in the low output range. The Rittmayer Brewery knows Krones technology from its bottling line, which features a Krones bottle washer, filling system and labeller. Besides quality and optimum use of the limited space available, short change-over times are of paramount importance for Rittmayer because the company processes small batches, a vast array of different beers and many different can formats. “Krones is a reliable, innovative and flexible partner for us,” says Georg Rittmayer. “It’s true that Krones is well-known for its high-speed kit. So we’re all the more pleased they offer top-quality equipment for the lower output range as well.”

Precise timing was yet another important consideration for this order because the customer wanted the filling system to be brought online directly after the new hall was built. “Krones really went all out,” says Georg Rittmayer. “The filling system was even ready well ahead of schedule.” It will handle the following can sizes: 0.33, 0.44, 0.5, 0.9 and one litre.
