One-stop Shop For Consumables – KIC Krones Expands its Product Range
Breweries and beverage plants all over the world are seeking complete-range vendors, to avoid unnecessary interfaces. This also applies to all consumables that assure reliable functioning of the lines concerned. KIC Krones has always been known as a vendor of colfix adhesives for container labelling and packaging, colclean cleaning agents and celerol lubricants.
The company has now unveiled a range of new cleaning and disinfecting agents including foam cleaners, conveyor lubricants, additives and disinfectants. For all products in its range KIC Krones has its own recipes, matched precisely to the need of the process technology and filling lines involved.
In the case of aseptic lines, for instance, the consumables are specified very precisely, to ensure the requisite functional efficacy. By eliminating the interface to a third party, time can be saved when installing the lines; and shorter ramp-up times are also possible. The products have been optimally matched to the machines and lines involved, so as to prevent possible damage to the machines, and lengthy downtimes.
Now that the product range for adhesives, lubricants, cleaning agents and disinfectants have been grouped together in the KIC Krones product portfolio, the beverage industry will, in future, be able to purchase all its consumables from just a single defined source. This aspect of the one-stop shop, in particular, creates substantial advantages for the users concerned.
