Gerolsteiner Brunnen GmbH & Co. KG is a Gerolstein, Germany-based maker of sparkling and non-sparkling mineral water, and soft drinks made from the mineral water. Known as an innovative firm committed to the land and its heritage, Gerolsteiner uses an in-house quality assurance department and electronically monitors everything from sourcing through bottle filling.

To boost product safety in the manufacture of PET containers, Gerolsteiner relies on a preform deduster from KHS. By cleaning its PET preforms, the company cuts costs and improves quality in the production process. Any foreign bodies are gently and reliably removed prior to the stretch/blow-molding process.

PET preforms can be soiled for a number of reasons. Sometimes particles such as PET dust or foreign bodies, including splinters of wood or fragments of PET, can enter preforms during production, transportation or storage.
