In the food and beverage sector, hygiene is a key prerequisite for safe, legal production. Not only must production areas and surfaces be subjected to a rigid and carefully managed cleaning regime, but the containers used to store and dispense products must be effectively cleaned to ensure the contents retain their quality and taste and are not harbouring dangerous bacteria. This is amply illustrated in beverage production where kegs must be thoroughly cleaned before they can be filled with wine, beer, soft drinks, water or juices. Methods for this process range from semi-automatic individual cleaning and filling machines to fully automatic keg paths. With more than 5,500 employees, KHS, based in Dortmund, Germany, is a global market leader in technologically innovative, high-quality filling and packaging systems for the food and beverage sector. It specialises in the production of keg cleaning and filling systems capable of handling 500 to 1,500 kegs/hour.
