Robotics improve brewery efficiencies

Medium-size brewery Pyraser Bier GmbH & Co. KG, Thalmassing, Germany, manufactures and markets several types of beer as well as carbonated beverages, juices, and other nonalcoholic drinks.

In an era when many small and medium- size German breweries are facing the possibility of being put out of business or swallowed up through consolidation with larger brewers, Pyraser sought to increase its competitive edge by revamping packaging operations.

Pyraser needed a packaging solution that would reduce cycle times and optimize operating economies and efficiencies. To achieve this result, the brewer installed two Model KR 150 packing robots from Kuka Robotics Corp. The new six-axis robots with pneumatic grippers save approximately 150-sq’ of floorspace compared with the case packing and palletizing equipment it used previously.
