Filling plant for bottles

Finally, the beer is bottled (under an overpressure provided by carbon dioxide) in both returnable and non-returnable formats. The bottles are first washed after which their cleanliness and integrity is tested using optical electronic equipment. Once filled and crowned, the bottles are pasteurised. This is followed by an inspection (of the fullness) of fill levels, labelling and packaging. Each of the two automated bottling lines can fill 38,000 bottles per hour.

Once in the brewery’s logistics system the beer travels to 50 countries on 5 continents.
