Sidel Delivers Beverage
Packaging Equipment Lines for New Plant
Sidel provides innovative solutions with three complete beverage packaging
lines including three blow molding machines delivered to Hansa-Heemann.
In 2006 HANSA-HEEMANN AG, one of Germany's leading mineral water and
soft drink suppliers, purchased a new facility in Bruchsal, 20 kms North
of Karlsruhe. Sidel, one of the world’s leading suppliers of beverage
packaging equipment, was selected to handle the new plant’s lines design
and equipment supply providing a customized, highly innovative proposal
that met the customer’s high standards for quality, efficiency and flexibility.
Solution oriented engineering
Originally, this new production plant for mineral water (still and carbonated)
and CSDs issued a request for quotation for two high-speed lines. Sidel’s
proposal met the company’s production need in the same space with an innovative
packaging solution consisting of three lines. “Sidel’s configuration featured
several advantages. It offered greater production flexibility with far
fewer changeovers and longer dedicated production runs. Furthermore, the
TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) calculation confirmed the profitability
of three lines compared to two high efficiency lines,” comments HANSA-HEEMANN.
In addition, HANSA-HEEMANN was impressed by Sidel’s comprehensive equipment
package. Sidel delivered the three complete lines with Eurotronica fillers,
Rollquattro labelers, air conveyors, cap feeders, Flat Tops, palletizers
and pallet-wrappers. Sidel also delivered three blow molding machines
that are run in-house by plastics packaging company Alpla.

Designing the bottling line of the future
HANSA-HEEMANN plants are among the most modern in Europe’s spring water
industry, and the Bruchsal plant is no exception. The layout makes it
possible for just one team per shift to run all three lines without requiring
advanced technical expertise. The plant space has been fully optimized
to best protect the filling zone. Bottle blow molding is done remotely,
and bottles are transferred by suspended air conveyor. A Flat Top air
conveyor makes remote cap feeding possible.
The new mineral water packaging plant started production in spring 2007
with final commissioning last September. The process engineered by Tetra
Pak Processing completes this project. Sidel supports HANSA-HEEMANN through
a 24-month maintenance program to guarantee maximum output. As a result
of the good relationship Sidel has developed with HANSA-HEEMANN and Alpla,
HANSA-HEEMANN decided to invest in another blow molding machine for its
Lehnin facility, 30 kms southwest of Berlin.
HANSA-HEEMANN AG is one of Germany's leading suppliers of mineral waters
and soft drinks including "Schorlen", lemonades, sport and energy
drinks and fruit juice based drinks.
Sidel, a division of Tetra Laval, is one of the world’s leading suppliers
of beverage packaging equipment.
