SMI: New bottling and packaging line - Al Ethiad challenge to increase profitability

SMI S.p.A. San Giovanni Bianco, Italy

Ready to produce more: The idea of the expandable production line. Al Ethiad Refreshment, in ollaboration with SMI, installed a new bottling and packaging line for Doha Water brand; the plant has a current production of 20,000 bottles/hour, but can easily be adapted to double it, without changing the line layout or replacing the machines that are currently used.

Automatic machines that adapt to consumers

One of the greatest challenges that is faced in the production of beverages is that of finding the correct balance between production and flexibility. Knowing for certain that consumers' requirements will change over the time, companies of the food & beverage industry need great operational flexibility from their production lines, so that they can modify production recipes and bottle and packaging formats. As flexibility has a cost, considering that meeting new demands means machine down times, it is fundamental to choose cutting-edge machines, like the ones supplied by SMI, that right from the start are designed to reduce down time and to be able to immediately adapt to new production requirements, thus improving the plant efficiency.
