KSB Additive Manufacturing Technology

Pioneers Efficient Upgrade for the Beverage Industry

In an rapidly evolving market and amid changing consumer demands, the beverage industry faces unprecedented challenges. KSB utilizes additive manufacturing (3D printing) technology to provide efficient, flexible, and reliable component solutions for beverage production lines.

Build Layer by Layer

Break design constraints

Unlike traditional subtractive manufacturing, additive manufacturing constructs complete parts by depositing materials layer by layer. Without the need for molds or additional tools, it enables cost-effective production of even small-batch or highly customized components.

Key advantages of additive manufacturing

01  High degree of freedom

Complex designs are easily implemented.

02 Performance Optimization

The components can be lightweightened, parts can be consolidated, and material consumption can be reduced.

03  Rapid Iteration

The process is faster from prototype to validation, with lower product development costs.

04 On-demand Production

Shorten delivery cycles, reduce inventory and costs

Metal Additive Manufacturing

More durable and lighter

Additive manufacturing is applicable not only to plastics but also to metal components. KSB employs Laser Powder Bed Fusion (PBF) technology, which deposits metal powder layer by layer through melting to form high-density, pore-free parts.

In the beverage industry, the advantages of metal additive manufacturing are particularly evident:

High-hardness material

Reduce wear and tear, extend service life

No stomatal risk

Avoid quality risks caused by shrinkage cavities in traditional castings

Lightweight structure

The honeycomb or grid-type impeller offers high stability and reduces driving energy consumption.

Quick response reduces downtime costs

The beverage production line can achieve a filling rate of 40,000–80,000 bottles/cans per hour, with extremely high costs associated with downtime or part waiting periods. Additive manufacturing enables rapid on-demand part printing, significantly reducing downtime and allowing for further design optimization.
