The world's largest bottling plant

 The task:

Up to 70,000 returnable bottles per hour has been filling up by the world's largest bottling plant at the Bitburger brewery since 2004.

The plant bottles the beer at 192 filling stations - and can be readily reset to handle a range of different bottle formats. Even at high number of cycles the bottles have to go trough the bottling plant "in an orderly manner".

 Method of solution:

The plant needed a sensor installing that ensures that the bottles to be filled run through the plant at the correct angle, unaffected by the bottling shop's high temperatures and humidity as well as the frequent cleaning.

 Our solution:

With its magnetic sensing system and rugged mechanical design the GEL 208 can provide precision results even under these harsh conditions. If that were not enough, it even withstands shocks and vibration on a permanent basis.

 Our service offering:

• Consideration of special industrial conditions

 Customer benefits:

• Robust and reliable sensor solution
