Overview

This packaging line for repacking glass bottles into carriers, trays, cartons and dollies was produced between 2002 and 2016 by several European manufacturers such as Yaskawa, Profipack, DokuConsult KG and Krones. The line is currently still in operation until June 2025 and was specially designed for repacking 0.33L and 0.5L glass bottles into 6-bottle carriers (open baskets), returnable trays and various pallet types (Euro dolly, Euro pallet). It enables both the unloading and loading of full and empty containers into new packaging units. The system will be available from June 2025, as soon as it is decommissioned.
