Perfectly coordinated control processes.
Container conveying and machine control processes,
the fusion of optimum line control.
You can achieve maximum line efficiency and overall
economical operation.
Line control – a sound overall concept.
KHS' line control concept is oriented to your product
and performance specifications.
All machines in the vicinity of the lead machine
(e.g. filler) and all conveyors are controlled according
to the output specified for the lead machine.
This control also incorporates the statuses of these
machines and the level of conveyor buffer use for
efficient line utilization.
Increased line flexibility, increased utilization ratio,
Extensive know-how on line control.
You benefit from KHS’ experience gained from the
many successfully implemented projects involving
conveying of bottles, lightweight bottles,
cans, and specially shaped containers in all output

The containers merge alternately along a railing forming a

Reliably and at a high container flow rate.
SOFTCONTROL - the gentle control.
This KHS development ensures optimum control of
pressureless combining - gently and dependably.
The railings are made of materials that reduce friction to a
minimum, for PET containers for instance.
This keeps the coefficient of friction very low, reduces
noise, and handles containers gently.
The conveyor belt drives are electronically controlled
according to the type of container and the degree of use.

KHS Buffer Concept –
Ideal for High-performance Bottling Lines
The KHS buffer concept makes high-performance bottling
lines even more efficient while handling containers exceptionally gently.
A new type of distribution station distributes the incoming
flow of bottles to the infeed belts. Without colliding with
the tip of the plow. With very little pressure and noise.
Specifically controlled drives transfer the bottles quickly
to the discharge conveyor.
When bottle flow backups occur, the bottles are pushed
across the chains until the table is full.
This is done exceptionally gently and quietly due to the
short distances of travel and belt speeds specially tuned in
relation to another.
16
Characteristics:
Low pressure and low noise.
Alternating method of separating the bottle flow.
Several drives ensure an optimum graduation of
conveying speeds for all degrees of utilization and

Benefits:
