The challenge

The client requested a turnkey solution from Europool for the relocation of a PET CSD line from Scotland to San Pedro Sula, Honduras.
The line, purchased second-hand, was intended for the production of international branded beverages, with a nominal capacity of the blow-molder/filler block of 36,000 bph.
In addition to the transfer, it was necessary to develop the engineering required to adapt the line to new formats and integrate additional machines, utilities, and accessories.

Our solution

The project included:

  • performance analysis of the line before dismantling in Scotland,
  • dismantling, packing, handling, sea transport, unloading, and reinstallation of the machines in Honduras,
  • development of mechanical, electrical, utilities, drainage, and piping layouts,
  • integration of new process machines (high- and low-pressure compressors, CIP, carbonator, nitrogen doser, laser marker integrated into the labeler, level and cap inspector, preform tipper),
  • revamping of the bottle conveyor line (mechanical and lubrication),
  • introduction of two new bottle formats,
  • supply of all piping materials from the syrup room up to the client’s tie-in point.

Europool also developed a new layout optimizing machine positioning, operator requirements, automation for the different formats, and accumulation balance to achieve the best V-graph.

Results

The relocation was successfully completed: Europool respected the agreed timing and objectives, ensuring the ramp-up of the line and achieving an efficiency of over 85% at final commissioning.
