Ethiopian container plant cold end installation
MSK has delivered a complete cold end installation for the greenfield Juniper Glass project in Debre Birhan, Ethiopia. Juniper Glass is a subsidiary of Consol Glass Africa, the leading glass packaging manufacturer in Sub-Saharan Africa, with operations in South Africa, Kenya and Nigeria.
Germany’s MSK installed two bottle conveying lines from the lehrs to the palletising stations, two Semitech fully automated palletising systems, a shuttle car system for mobile pallet conveying, as well as a fully automated Multitech pallet shrink packaging line.
All modules at the Juniper Glass plant are co-ordinated with each other, as the complete system is controlled uniformly by MSK EMSY 6.0 visualisation software.
Earlier this year, a follow-up order was placed with MSK for a decorating line including bottle conveying system, fully automatic depalletising system and pallet conveying technology.
