The machines were designed and manufactured at Brewology’s UK manufacturing facility. The company has invested heavily in development of its kegging range ensuring that the latest technology and innovations work together with the traditional brewing process. Brewology’s technical director, Stephen Midgley, says, “Kegging beer is not easy. Compared to cask packaging, kegging is complex and it’s much more expensive to produce a consistent packaged product. To reliably fill kegs, our automated keg washing and filling modules provide the ideal solution. “The Tornado Keg Washer cleans to a high standard while monitoring critical pressures and temperatures used to guarantee the keg has passed the cleaning process. The Evolution Keg Filler module’s control system reduces losses by automatically adjusting the back pressure on the keg during the fill and metering the product in. Metering is standard across all our fillers.” Liam Morrow from Morrow Brother says, “With more and more craft brewers looking to get into the keg market Morrow Brothers Packaging felt that offering a complete keg-filling solution was the only option. The Brewology machine has allowed the company to offer a comprehensive keg solution to this ever-expanding part of the marketplace.” 18 BREWING & BEVERAGE INDUSTRIES BUSINESS Tornado installed at Morrow Brothers News PRODUCTION EQUIPMENT www.brewology.co.uk For more information visit: Britvic has tripled its production capability at its Leeds site from 70m³/hr to 200m³/hr by installing the latest water treatment technology from Envirogen. The soft drinks manufacturing site already boasts one of the fastest production lines of its kind in Europe and can produce up to 36,000 two-litre bottles an hour. The new treatment system will ensure that incoming water flow can meet the production demand, as well as satisfying stringent health and safety requirements. This follows a £25M expansion to the Leeds factory in 2015. Bill Denyer, director of food & beverage at Envirogen, was responsible for the design and implementation of the project. “Incoming water was a bottleneck for Britvic. They had the capability to ramp up their production, but without a reliable input of high quality product and process water they weren’t able to realise that potential.” Said John Marshall, Project Manager, Britvic. “We chose Envirogen because of their stand-out expertise and experience in our sector. “The combination of 3D modelling and dedicated project management meant that there were no surprises during the project and the system integrated with existing facilities seamlessly. We are delighted with the finished system. Our production capability has tripled in Leeds.” Envirogen helps Britvic to triple production capability Y is for automatic beer bottling IC Filling Systems’ versatile and economical 551 Microblock is an Automatic Rinser Filler and Capper, and two new brewers are now bottling using the technology. One of the most important factors that helped Burning Sky Beer in East Sussex, and Rana Dorada in Panama, choose this bottling technology was the 'Y'! The innovative 'Y' shaped layout of the conveyors designs feeding in and out of the 551 Microblock allows for in-line labelling, bottle feeding and unloading, all to be undertaken by a single operator, allowing production of up to 1,000 bottles per hour.
