New Filler for Beer

Pyraser Landbrauerei, founded in 1868 in the Franconia region of Germany, recently invested in a KHS Innofill Glass DRS filler.

Among the key characteristics of the machinery that especially impressed the decision-makers at the brewery was its ability to keep residual oxygen values low. Also attractive is that the patented KHS DRS-ZMS filling system uses just 210 grams of CO2 per hectoliter of beer. “We need a lot less carbon dioxide than the usual quantity common to the market to yield the same or even better residual oxygen values,” says Mike Herrmann, KHS Sales Germany and the man responsible for the project.

Also special is that Pyraser closes its beer bottles with roll-on aluminum caps, which ordinarily means that more oxygen would normally be pressed into the bottle compared to the amount allowed with classic steel crown closures. This would be detrimental to the beer as the product would then age more rapidly. To minimize oxygen pickup, the KHS filler therefore blasts the aluminum roll-on caps with CO2 in the capper. This joint development with the brewery means that the very good oxygen values in the bottle are the same as those for crown closures.Pyraser Landbrauerei fills up to 26,000 bottles an hour – with Pyraser Landbier, among other beverages.Pyraser Landbrauerei fills up to 26,000 bottles an hour – with Pyraser Landbier, among other beverages.
