Electrical Installation and Integration of a Krones Glass Bottling Line

STAR completed the electrical installation and integration of a Coca-Cola glass bottling line equipped with Krones technology. The project covered the infrastructure required to power, control, and communicate with the different machines involved in the process, from the wet area through the extensive bottle conveyor network and packaging stages.

The line configuration required continuous electrical infrastructure across multiple machines, conveyors, cabinets, and field devices. Cable routes were planned to follow the equipment layout and maintain orderly connections between the different systems involved in the bottling process.

As part of the execution, STAR installed conduits, cable trays, and supports to protect and distribute power, control, and communication wiring. The work included elevated routes, connections installed directly on machinery, and branches supplying equipment located at different levels and plant areas.

Power and control cabinets were also installed and integrated to distribute the electrical supplies and signals associated with each equipment group. The work included routing, organizing, identifying, terminating, and connecting conductors according to the Krones electrical drawings and diagrams.

The installation covered motors, drives, sensors, and field devices associated with the conveyors and bottling machinery. Industrial communication connections were implemented in parallel to integrate the equipment with its corresponding control systems.

The project extended across the wet area, the bottle transportation network, and the packaging stations. Each stage was integrated into a single electrical infrastructure, maintaining continuity between cabinets, machines, sensors, motors, and product movement systems.

The scale of the project required coordination between electrical routes, metal structures, conveyors, machinery, and work areas with different access conditions. As a result, the line was equipped with an organized electrical installation adapted to its configuration and integrating the power, control, and communication systems required for coordinated process operation.
