Marston's Brewery, part of Wolverhampton & Dudley Breweries plc, has selected Moody Systems to install new brewhouse pipework at its site in Burton-on-Trent.

This prestigious project involves the relocation of major items of brewing equipment from Wolverhampton & Dudley's Mansfield site into Marston's fully refurbished and modified brewhouse building in Burton-on-Trent.

This major development includes dry goods handling, mash tuns, brewing coppers, interconnection into the existing whirlpools, together with electrical process control. Moody Systems will also install all of the stainless steel process mains together with all mechanical services to the equipment.

Extensive 3D designs were supplied by Moody Systems to help position the equipment in line with the complex structure of the building, taking into consideration stringent planning requirements and ensuring the listed building maintained its heritage and appearance.

Adding further value to the solution, Moody Fastpack will also convert a KHS Kister A320-70 wraparound packing machine for the brewery. After extensive preparatory design work, Marston's has selected Moody Fastpack to supply, overhaul, re-design, modify and install the machine within their bottling line at Burton-on-Trent.

Tony Barkway, Moody Fastpack Managing Director, comments, "The machine is one of the fastest types of wraparound packing machines on the market, able to pack 24 bottles in a full wraparound, corrugated type cardboard carton at speeds of up to 70 packs per minute. After modification, the machine will handle a wide variety of bottles sizes from 275ml to 800ml, which will be packaged into 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24 bottles per package."
