Beer is received from road‐tankers into cold‐room storage tanks at 34–36°F., and this temperature is maintained in the mains leading to the fillers. Cases of empty bottles are automatically sorted for size and are passed along appropriate conveyors to storage or directly to the washing units where detergent strength is controlled both by meter and by laboratory checking. Thence, the bottles pass to filler, pasteurizer and labeller, to be packed in metal cases and passed by conveyors to stock room or loading bank. Indicator and counting devices give accurate control of the flow, which is facilitated by the use of interchangeable, unbranded bottles. Plant design and structural details in the stores have resulted in a marked improvement of working conditions, whilst a very satisfactory degree of stability and uniformity has been ensured to the beer.
