Optima customers will continue to receive the “full range” of options – for example, in terms of the versions of the filling modules with CIP/SIP systems. “However, the systems are now even more closely suited to the relevant application, and that reduces the purchase price,” explains Weihbrecht. The basic machine platform can be equipped with the extras required using various options, so it can still be tailored to meet individual needs.
“Initial projects have gone very well,” Weihbrecht reports. The machines are becoming increasingly compact, with a reduced footprint. This contributes to an advantageous total cost of ownership and saves resources. “Its optimal price-performance ratio makes a preconfigured OPTIMA Moduline particularly suitable for medium-sized companies and contract manufacturers,” says Weihbrecht.
