FBN Sales Inc. Better Bottling - Bottling Line at Buffalo Trace Distillery, Eagle Rare

Recently, FBN Better Bottling performed a Yield Critical Asset Rebuild on a US Bottlers ELG Filler at Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky. Buffalo Trace, renowned for producing some of the finest bourbons in the world, has entrusted us to manage their bottling with managing from barrel to bottle. This trust underscores the importance of our work in maintaining product integrity, fill height, and flow rate control while maintaining a sanitary filling environment.

Ensuring Product Excellence

The assets that come into direct contact with the product are vital for maintaining the high standards required in the spirits industry. Any compromise in these areas can affect the quality of the final product. At FBN, we specialize in ensuring these assets are in optimal condition, guaranteeing that every bottle meets the stringent quality standards our client’s demand.

Specialized Analysis and Service

FBN employs a comprehensive approach to analyze fillers and cappers, categorizing them into three distinct groups:

  1. Yield Critical Assets: These are essential components that directly impact product yield and quality. Maintaining these assets is crucial for optimal performance and efficiency.
  2. Extended Downtime Assets: Components that, if they fail, can cause significant downtime and disrupt production. Preventative maintenance and timely upgrades of these assets are essential to minimize downtime.
  3. Non-Critical Assets: While important, these assets do not directly impact yield or cause extended downtime if they fail. However, keeping them in good condition ensures smooth overall operation.
