Speeds bottle drying
November 1st 2005

Europe’s largest brewery has made savings after installing Secomak’s latest drying unit on its only bottling line.

Scottish courage’s Berkshire brewery uses the combination dryer to ensure that bottles are dried thoroughly prior to being labelled, thus reducing the incidence of skewing during label application.

The dryer incorporates both compressed air and blower generated air, making it suitable for bottling lines where under crown drying needs to be incorporated with whole bottle drying at high speeds.

As most bottling lines run different bottle sizes, the new dryer has been designed to reduce the amount of time it takes to change from one size to another.

It has proved cheaper and easier to maintain than a previous system.
