Virtual tour of the brewery - 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.
In addition to bottles, beer is also filled into (cleaned and sterilised) 20-, 30- and 50-litre kegs as well as 0.33- and 0.50-litre cans.
Once in the brewery’s logistics system the beer travels to 60 countries on 5 continents.
