The company says that the system offers savings in space, capital investment, running costs and energy. The design eliminates a number of elements found in traditional lines and uses up to 55% less space as a result. The SFR EVO preform blow mould- ing unit can produce up to 2000 bottles/cavity/hr. The label- ling station incorporates ‘Adhesleeve’ technology from P.E. Labellers SPA, which uses pressure-sensitive adhesives instead of hot-melts and is claimed to be highly energy effi- cient. Label cutting and application operations are carried out on a single cylinder, eliminating several quality prob- lems associated with traditional roll-fed machines. Sincro TriBloc can be equipped with gravimetric, volumetric and isobaric fillling systems, capable of handling still and car- bonated soft drinks, juices and hot filled products. Sipa’s row preparation system, designed to optimize average and low speed palletisation plants, is composed of a clamp type head installed on linear axes, suitable to up to six packs at the same time. Packs slide on a modu- lar chain conveyor and impact pack turning devices, row spacers and rollers of the traditional solutions have been eliminated. The active layer module can be installed on existing plants, offering output increase and space saving. Reflecting the trend towards ‘green’ packaging, a wide range of preforms and containers with different percent- ages of recycled PET will be on the stand, as well as a display of lightweighted neck finishes and containers for various different applications, from mineral water bottles to oval containers for food and detergents and large size containers for watercoolers. www.sipa.it Sipa Hall XX Booth XXXX Krones AG Hall 14 Booth D14/E29 Eco-compatible and resource- conscious secondary packaging Krones AG, Neutraubling will be introducing its new packaging design, which has been developed using a dif- ferent approach from conventional shrink-wrap packages. Krones says that its new design is a response to trends for PET container secondary packaging to be eco-compat- ible and to save on resources and energy. The company claims that users will be able to achieve cost savings, compared to shrink-film. The complete pack system to be exhibited at the show includes the packaging and associ- ated machinery. www.krones.com
