Integrated Process

    The main advantage of the integrated process is that it is very compact (reduced footprint); being compact there is a short distance between the machines. Furthermore, this allows us to build, pre-assemble and test the plant in Kosme before it is shipped. Being built in-house it is also cheaper because there is no need to piping on site. The integrated process has a single control panel that combines filler and process in one device. The layout can have 3 different combinations: CIP, CIP / Carbonator or CIP / Carbonator / Mixer. Kosme is one of the few companies that can do Filling and Process together.

    CIP

    The washing, sanitizing and sterilization systems (CIP, SIP) are customized to meet the needs of each processing line in each application sector.
    The systems automatically dose the detergents and chemicals required in the process; the solutions thus obtained, after heating to optimal temperatures, are then sent to the production plant for perfect sanitization of the same.
    An advanced and sophisticated system software allows the optimal and flexible management of all the variables of the cycle and checks that all the phases have been regularly carried out. It is also possible to intuitively set and manage the various washing programs from the touch-screen control system.
    The CIP washing systems are available in configurations with steam heating (via heat exchanger) or electric (via resistances).

    Carbonator

    Is a device for impregnating liquids with carbon dioxide. The product is chilled and then the gas is released from a reserve tank. The two liquid meet in the primary tank and the carbon dioxide dissolves into the beverage; and the fizzy liquid is ready for consumption!

    Automatic Carbonator:
    Models range: 9, 15 and 25 m³/h complete with:
    Deaeration by vacuum pump;
    CO2 injection;
    Supply tank; 
    Max CO2 : 10g/l;
    Maximum water inlet temperature: + 18°C;
    Minimum speed: 50% of the nominal;

    Optionals:
    Flowrate control;
    CO2 analyzer with Maselli / Anton Paar;
    Plate heater exchange

    Mixer

    The mixer is a bulk to blend heterogeneous materials in order to form a homogeneous end-product. They are also know as homogenizer and they are used to mix and break down materials completely. Certain type of industrial homogenizers are specifically used for liquid or soluble that requires high grade mixing products such as oil, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and food industries.

    Automatic Mixer:
    Models range:  9, 15 and 25 m³/h
    Deaeration  by vacuum pump; CO2 injection;
    Buffer  tank; Max CO2: 10g/l; Dosing unit components;
    Maximum pressure in the tank: 5,5 Bar
    Maximum water inlet temperature: + 18°C
    Minimum speed: 50% of the nominal flow
    Maximum syrup inlet temperature: + 25°C
    Standard dilution ratio 1:5
        Dilution max ratio 1:8 (*)
        Dilution min ratio 1:2 (*)
    Optionals:
    Flowrate control; CO2 and brix analyzer with Maselli / Anton Paar;

    Krones plans to reorganize its Compact Class business unit

    In light of the ongoing transformation in the beverage and liquid food industry, as well as increasing demands for sustainable, competitive, and efficient products, Krones is realigning its profitable growth strategy in the Compact Class business unit. This unit brings together Krones’ solutions for filling and packaging in the low to medium output range for beverages, wine and spirits, food, dairy products, as well as applications in the home and personal care sector and pharmaceuticals.

    The Compact Class consists of four different subsidiaries: KOSME Italy, KOSME Austria, the sales and service company KOSME FBA (responsible for the markets in France and Belgium), which have been fully integrated into the Krones Group since 2009, and the labelling machine specialist Gernep, which was acquired in 2015. These entities will now be brought together under one roof – the new KOSME organisation.

    The starting point for this integration was the joint development of a new labeling machine generation called Flectra  over the course of the last 12 months, which uniquely combines the expertise of both Kosme and Gernep: compact, flexible, and intuitive. The machine will be showcased and offered for sale for the first time live at this year’s drinktec in Munich (starting September 15, 2025).

    The newly formed organization will be even more flexible in responding to customer needs, positioning itself as a strong unit in the face of competition, and strategically tapping into new markets and industries – both nationally and internationally. As part of this realignment, a completely new brand identity will also be developed in 2026.
