TRADE SHOW PREVIEW 36 PET planet insider Vol. 11 No. 11/10 www.petpla.net Schaefer Förderanlagen- und Maschinenbau GmbH Palletising, sorting and pallet inspection systems Palletising system specialist Schaefer says that the highlight of its display will be its MultiROB HighS palletising machine, which has a low level infeed and a divided loading plate in the palletising head. With capacity in excess of 500 layers/hr, claimed layer form- ing time is less than 7s. Capable of palletising up to 62,000 1.5l PET bottles/hr, non-returnable packs and single bottles can be mixed and arranged in one machine. PatternBuilder features an upgraded configuration table and RoboTurn pack turner. It is designed to keep movement and travelling distance to the minimum, has a small footprint and low power consumption. Schaefer’s QualiPal II pallet inspection system is intended to ensure safe transport and stacking in high rack warehouses. CompactStack is an automatic destacker for nested pallet stacks. www.schaeferpal.de Plast Engineering Knauff Complete PET line in a container Plast Engineering Knauff will be showcasing its Com- pact A 4C fully automatic stretch blow mould bottling, filling and labelling plants. The unusual feature of these plants is that they are designed to be installed in standard 12m (40ft) transport container units. The Compact A 4C manu- factures up to 2,800 PET 500 to 1,500ml bottles/hr from preforms. The PET bottles are automatically disinfected by UV radiation and transferred directly to the filling station, which fills them with UV disinfected drinking water. They are then closed with UV radiated caps, labelled, and cov- ered with tamper-evident sleeves. Ready-for-sale bottles are discharged through a window in the container wall. The production units require an 80kW power connection and a source of drinking water; an EC connection for electrical power and two-inch pipe coupling for water are built into the outside of the container. On request, the system can be supplied complete with a diesel generator and water purifi- cation system. www.plastics-equipments.de  www.pet-equipments.de Hall 5 | Booth 423 Hall 7 | Booth 206 Kaeser Kompressoren Energy-saving boosters and compressed air systems Hall 4 | Booth 423 Kaeser Kompressoren will be presenting its latest range of products and developments, including its new dry-running rotary screw compressors.
