Customer requirements:

The brewery began in 2006 with the preparations for the construction of a new bottling hall. It also involved the filling line for KEG barrels.

The aim was the acquisition of as possible the latest technology available for filling beer into stainless steel KEG barrels. This requirement was best met by a design solution with depalletising of the KEG barrels using an industrial robot.

Our solution:

We used a six-axis industrial robot. The robot does in accordance with the required capacity beside the depalletization also the pallet handling, fitting check, cap detection, decapping and the turning of the barrels. The main advantage of this sollution is cost effectiveness and small footprint.

Atrima proposed a powerful and technically unique solution for the depalletization using an industrial robot. The result is 100% technological efficiency, trouble-free operation and highest safety.

The used ABB robot IRB 460 is the fastest palletizing robot in the world.
