Sâncrăieni Romania

Volcanic spring
The Romanian commune of Sâncrăieni is richly endowed. More than 80 wells and springs are fed from the depths of the picturesque Harghita Mountains of Transylvania. The area benefits from a real treasure which is freshly bottled everyday in the town of Sâncrăieni. Its mineral water, which is naturally vitalized by volcanic rock, has been filled into bottles and sold since 1952. For bottling, the Perla Harghitei company relies on the very latest filling technology from the German company Krones.




Inflate then bottle
A special feature of this new arrival is its so-called Contiform Bloc which consists of a compact and highly efficient unit comprising a blow moulder and a counter-pressure filler. This is coupled with a control system from the Krones' product portfolio, together with machines for labelling, packaging and palletising. The Contiform 3 Pro blow moulder converts a preformed shape into a finished bottle every 1.6 seconds by heating and inflating it. Efficiency is not compromised by the speed of this process, following a series of optimisations in an oven, a stretching station and an air recycling system. This new generation is regarded as Krones’ most economical stretch blow moulder machine of all time.
