KHS Group expands expertise in bottle handling with stake in Tyrolon
tyrolon Star – Universal conveying star: the tyrolon Star transports bottles and other containers of various size without the need for conversion or accessory parts. It easily manages differences in diameter of up to 40 millimeters.
The KHS Group is applying Tyrolon’s expertise on its production lines following the acquisition of a majority share in Tyrolon-Schulnig.
The expansion in its expertise will help in the handling of PET and glass bottles and also with established equipment such as conveying stars and neck clamp systems now to be jointly further developed.
Whether for a new line or as a retrofit package for existing machinery, bottle conveying technology by Tyrolon is recognised as among the world’s best for efficiency, flexibility and occupational safety. With immediate effect, this expertise is now to be amalgamated into the portfolio marketed by holistic systems provider KHS.
“This holding binds two companies closer together who already worked extremely successfully together in the past,” says Martin Resch, managing director of the KHS Group. “It’s therefore not only good strategy to further develop this knowledge with the focus on the high-performance range; first and foremost, it also gives our customers significant added value, with systems and solutions now available from a single source.”
Conveying stars and neck clamp systems family business Tyrolon-Schulnig, founded in 1981, is known for the development and production of two systems. One is the tyrolon Star that enables gentle, efficient and versatile conveying of bottles and other containers of various shape and size; the other is the universal tyrolon neck clamp system that is especially low maintenance, of high quality and convincing with its long service life in direct market comparison.
“KHS’ reliable machine and system solutions harmonise perfectly with our products. I’m convinced that we’ll further optimise container handling through our intensified partnership and that our clients will profit from even more effective and sustainable production,” says Ludwig Schulnig, CEO and founder of Tyrolon-Schulnig.
The future Tyrolon will not only supply KHS with its portfolio; it will service the entire market. The universal system will thus continue to be available to all.
