MBF e Theresianer

Theresianer, tradition and modernity

As passionate connoisseurs offering “unique” products, Theresainer impose precise produc- tion requirements: the use of excellent ingre- dients being the first rule. Theresianer scrupu- lously follow the oldest law of the food sector, which protects the integrity of beer. Promulgat- ed by Duke Guglielmo IV of Bavaria in 1516, the “Edict of Purity” states that German beer can only be made from barley malt or wheat, hops and water. Unknown at that time, the yeast was added to these ingredients later.

Born from the entrepreneurial skills of Marti- no Zanetti, since 2000 the Theresianer Brewery guarantees the best high-quality mitteleurope- an custom in drinking. Representing a combination of tradition and modernity born of an enlightened philosophy, at the origin of the Theresianer quality.

Located in Nervesa della Battaglia, Treviso, it passionately emphasizes a respect for tradition delivered by a contemporary organization. This winning combination has been rewarded by market successes and prestigious international awards. Its name is that of a renowned brewery inaugurated in the “Borgo Teresiano” of this city in 1766.

A model company priding itself on craftsman- ship, taste, quality, and organization, offering the consumer the benefits of the knowledge of the best brewers.

A cohesive Group with a clear future vision

Theresianer, together with the Case Bianche farm, is part of the Hausbrandt Group Trieste 1892 S.p.A., which has its headquarters in Nervesa della Battaglia. Equipped with the most modern technologies offered by MBF S.p.A., both companies follow the bottling process with extreme care and professionalism, a critical phase for maintaining the organoleptic characteristics of the product.

The first machine for rinsing, filling and capping of smooth wines, sparkling wines and carbonated drinks, was installed in 2006 at Case Bianche. In 2016, Theresianer needed to renew the bottling plant for its prized beers, and this led to an in-depth process to select the solution best suited to future business objectives.

"Choosing a new plant is certainly not easy, especially for those virtuous companies like Theresianer, which follow a strict selection methodology, which does not allow any kind of preference, and which also refer to the Organizational Model 231 (a new regulatory regime, for a responsible business choice). This required that more subjects were contacted for the same spending target," explains Gabriele Stocco, Theresianer Production Manager.

The factors to consider were multiple: administrative, technical, security, cost. After a careful evaluation of all the proposals received, only one company, MBF, was able to respond with factors of excellence, facilitating the future ambitions of Theresianer

MBF have over twenty years experience in the design and production of bottling systems worldwide. The technological excellence of MBF machines is the result of constant research and development, factors that have always been present in the DNA of MBF, and this makes it one of the most significant global companies.

An important consideration in the final choice of the new plant, was the positive experience with the plant already present in Case Blanche, where the performance of the machine and standard of customer service has always exceeded expectations. For MBF in fact, the conclusion of the sale does not mark the end of the relationship, but the beginning of a close partnership, because the satisfied customer for MBF is the most precious asset. "It is absolutely physiological to have problems at a plant, but less natural and physiological is to have a supplier that responds quickly. MBF has always responded in the required time, finding the most suitable solutions to problems," continues Stocco.

Lastly, the prospect of being able to initially use the plant with a specific production was decisive, to then be able to gradually increase it according to the production and business needs of Theresianer.

The future vision of the company is: continue the now characteristic growth trend with the new plant that will support the business for many years to come, and help to realize further ambitious business projects.

Bottling plant: efficiency, speed, control.

Compact, efficient, high performing. This is the isobaric monobloc that MBF has supplied to Theresianer, a production speed of 5,000 bottles per hour, designed to handle 33 or 75 cl formats.

The machine integrates in a single bloc rinser, isobaric filler and crown capper, offering maximum automation and speed in the production process as well as a significant saving in operating costs and space efficiency.

The plant has been designed to guarantee the preservation of the organoleptic characteristics and the quality of the beer. This is thanks to the air pre-evacuation system from the bottle, which reduces oxygen absorption by the product during filling. Also present, a high pressure water jet nozzle for the bottles foaming and the automatic washing device in case of bottle explosion.

MBF technology allows exceptional versatility to process different bottle sizes; quick, tool free format change is achieved thanks to adjustable stars and universal screws.

The frame is inclined, enabling total drainage of liquids and easy cleaning. Technologically advanced control systems, allows detection of cap presence. The absence of errors thanks to automatic settings for each format, ease of use and maintenance reduced to a minimum are further distinctive features of the solution provided by MBF.

In order to better integrate the monoblock in the Theresianer production process, MBF analysed the entire production line, making accurate assessments and proposing improved solutions to the customer.

"MBF is a reliable partner for Theresianer that has guaranteed efficiency and results over the years, and that we are sure will be among the carriers of the development of our company. It is in our opinion a reality capable of quick and effective answers, whose technicians understand the needs of our process actively, in close and always positive collaboration." - Gabriele Stocco, Production Manager.
