Thanks to the new controls and relocated accumulation zones, the line balance is now improved. As a result, Refresco can achieve a speed of 90,000 cans per hour. - Fast start-up
The ramp-up period prior to the start-up was respected, making it possible to deliver the production volumes on time and resulting in a satisfied customer.
