SORTING AND BOTTLING LINE OF PLZEŇSKÝ PRAZDROJ IN PLZEŇ
A year ago, Plzeňský Prazdroj put into operation an automatic sorting line for returnable glass bottles at its brewery. It is the only installation of its kind in the Czech Republic, and you will be able to see it with your own eyes! The machine can sort the brewery’s own brand bottles from those of other manufacturers and detect any damaged pieces and crates. It inspects the bottles directly in the crates and can check and then sort 4,050 crates, or 81,000 beer bottles, in one hour. Additionally, the bottling line will also be on display.
