Russia Kvass Filling Line Project Case Study: Installed and Commissioned in 37 Days

Обзор проекта

Kvass is one of the most popular traditional fermented beverages in Russia, with a long history and a stable consumer market.

This project involved a leading Russian kvass manufacturer with multiple production facilities and an established distribution network across the country. As demand for fermented and functional beverages continued to grow, the customer's existing production capacity was no longer sufficient to meet seasonal demand. To support future growth, the company decided to invest in a new automatic carbonated kvass filling line with higher efficiency and greater automation.

After evaluating several equipment suppliers, the customer selected King Machine to provide a complete turnkey solution, including equipment manufacturing, line integration, installation, and commissioning.

Customer Requirements and Project Challenges

The customer established two clear objectives for the project:

Быстрая реализация проекта

The new production line needed to be operational before the peak sales season, leaving less than 40 days for on-site installation and commissioning.

Высокие стандарты производительности

As an experienced beverage producer, the customer maintained strict technical requirements for:

Точность заполнения

Carbonation stability

Cap sealing quality

CIP cleaning effectiveness

Overall production line reliability

The equipment was expected to meet production standards immediately after commissioning without lengthy adjustments.

Complete Carbonated Kvass Filling Line Installed in 37 Days

Days 1–7: Equipment Positioning and Mechanical Installation

After the equipment arrived at the customer's factory, both teams immediately initiated the project.

Because the customer had completed foundation work, utility preparation, and pipeline reservations in advance, installation progressed smoothly. King Machine engineers worked closely with the customer's logistics and maintenance teams to complete equipment unpacking, inspection, transportation, and positioning.

Within the first seven days, the main filling machine, conveyor systems, and supporting equipment were fully installed.

Days 8–20: Mechanical and Electrical Integration

Mechanical assembly and electrical installation were carried out simultaneously.

King Machine engineers completed PLC programming, control system configuration, electrical wiring, and pneumatic connections. The customer's technical personnel actively participated in signal verification and equipment testing, helping accelerate the preparation process.

By Day 20, the entire line was ready for dry-run testing and system verification.

Days 21–37: Commissioning and Production Trials

The final stage focused on line commissioning and production validation.

Joint engineering teams optimized key process parameters related to: 

Carbon dioxide control

Filling level accuracy

Cap sealing performance

Line synchronization efficiency

Several rounds of testing and parameter adjustments were conducted to ensure stable production performance.

After continuous operation tests, all production indicators met the customer's internal standards, and the line successfully passed final acceptance.

From equipment installation to commercial operation, the entire project was completed in just 37 days.
