At the Anuga FoodTec, Krones will in 2015 for the first time be hosting a series of presentations, welcomingly staged in the firm’s own Experts’ Lounge on Krones’ stand in Hall 8.1, Stand 020/B039.
“The Experts’ Lounge has been conceived as a venue where experts can exchange news and views on topical issues in an informal atmosphere,” is how Product Manager Dr. Roland Feilner explains the thinking behind the event. Together with nine other colleagues from different fields of technology at Krones AG, Dr. Feilner will be providing the specialised input. In short presentations lasting about 20 minutes each, Krones’ experts will be spotlighting current developments from their own specialised fields.
The programme for the Experts’ Lounge reflects the principal focuses of Krones’ stand at the fair: the process technology involved in producing and filling sensitive products. Each of the fair’s four days will be themed around a different topic category: while Tuesday and Wednesday will be devoted to the subjects of process technology components and product quality, Thursday and Friday will be spotlighting the filling process as such and current filling valve innovations.
