The Brief
Darron approached us with a requirement for a bottling line which would not only enable them to bottle in-house at a rate of 1500 bottles per hour but would also to minimise oxygen pick up ‘in order to increase shelf life and the fresh taste for a lot longer’. An in-line labelling machine was also required to apply clear front, back and neck labels to the bottles.
The Solution
To meet their requirement, Vigo supplied bottling line, consisting of a CIMEC America DPS 12/12/1C automatic rinsing, filling & crown capping machine to fill at a rate of 2000 bottles per hour, and an S3T6/RI automatic in-line labelling machine and all associated conveyoring. The line was installed and commissioned by Vigo’s multi-skilled team of engineers.
The Result
‘The filling line has lived up to expectations and does a great job. It is reliable and has given us a huge improvement in dissolved oxygen levels. The demand of our bottle product has continued to rise and rise. Quite frankly without this investment we would never have been able to keep up, but the real benefit has been the overall improvement in the quality of our product going out to customers.' - Darron Anley, Siren Craft Brew
