Engineering in beverage production: Tailored solutions for Asia Pacific
Are producers facing a growing demand for flexibility, sustainability, and operational efficiency? Kosme addresses these challenges with integrated production line solutions combining its own technologies with those of the Krones Group. Advanced automation, intelligent conveying systems, and machine communication ensure optimized performance, high availability, and long-term productivity.
PET large-format one-way solutions
With continued growth in bottled water, functional beverages, and liquid food products, Kosme offers blower & filler blocks and stand-alone systems designed for large PET formats. These solutions deliver high throughput, hygienic operation, and reduced footprint while supporting lightweight packaging strategies and sustainability goals.
Flexible labelling with Kosme Flectra
Kosme Flectra is a new-generation labelling machine designed to deliver maximum flexibility across food & beverage, personal care, and home care applications for low- and medium-speed production lines.
Available in both modular and fixed-group configurations, Flectra features plug-and-play labelling stations that simplify format changes and reduce downtime. Its optimized self-adhesive and cold-glue labelling units, together with the versatile Unigrip starwheel system, ensure high precision and efficient handling of different container formats.
A compact design enhanced optical orientation systems, and an intuitive HMI interface improve operational efficiency while minimizing footprint. Compatible with the Krones Operating Platform (KOP), Flectra also enables advanced production monitoring and data-driven performance optimization.
Multi-purpose filling solutions
As manufacturers diversify product portfolios, flexibility has become essential. Kosme’s Barifill Canto provides a versatile filling platform for glass bottles, cans, and PET containers, with hot fill capability available for selected applications. This adaptability allows producers to respond quickly to changing market demands while maintaining product quality and operational efficiency.
Home & personal care (HPC) solutions
Kosme’s expertise extends beyond beverages into the Home & Personal Care sector. Its blowers for shaped containers and highly accurate weight-based fillers are available as stand-alone units or integrated systems. Designed for a wide range of viscosities and packaging formats, these solutions ensure precise dosing, minimize product loss, and support distinctive packaging concepts that strengthen brand identity.
Sustainability and innovation
Sustainability remains a strategic priority throughout Asia Pacific. A key innovation is enzymatic CIP (Clean-In-Place) technology, which enables automated, efficient cleaning while significantly reducing chemical usage, water consumption, and energy demand. Using phosphorus-free and surfactant-free detergents, the system ensures excellent hygiene standards, effective biofilm removal, and enhanced operator safety.
Asia Pacific market focus
The region’s diversity requires adaptable and scalable solutions. Kosme supports producers in:
• Water: Hygienic, energy-efficient systems for high-volume bottled water production.
• Carbonated soft drinks & functional beverages: Flexible technologies capable of handling multiple products and packaging formats.
• Liquid food: Safe and efficient solutions for sauces, dairy alternatives, nutritional beverages, and other liquid foods.
• Home & personal care: Precision production systems supporting innovative packaging and product differentiation.
Customer-centric approach and future outlook
Kosme’s success is built on close collaboration with customers throughout the entire project lifecycle, from line design and engineering to commissioning and after-sales support. Continuous feedback from installed lines drives ongoing innovation and performance improvements.
