Visit to the sorting and bottling line of Plzeňský Prazdroj in Pilsen
A year ago Plzeňský Prazdroj put into operation an automatic sorting line for returnable glass bottles in its brewery. It is the only installation of its kind in the Czech Republic, and you will be able to see it with your own eyes. The line can machine sort the brewery’s own brand bottles from those of other manufacturers and detect damaged pieces and crates. It checks the bottles directly in the crates and can check and sort 4,050 crates, i.e. 81,000 beer bottles, in one hour.
We also invite you to take an exclusive tour of the brand new automated bottling line that has just been launched. During the tour, you will learn more about Plzeňský Prazdroj’s transition to the use of returnable packaging. All glass bottles used to fill its beers and ciders for the Czech market will be returnable from next year, which will be a key contribution to the completion of the packaging circularity project.
The guided tour will be led by Tomáš Sedláček, logistics controlling and development manager CZ/SK of Plzeňský Prazdroj.
