PRODUCTS 49 PET planet insider Vol. 12 No. 04/11 www.petpla.net Lightweight closure systems Closure Systems Interna- tional (CSI) has added new closure profiles to its portfolio of short-height mini clo- sures. The new products are intended to deliver high-per- forming, light-weight solutions for the non-carbonated bever- age segment. Sports-Lok mini is an ultra-lightweight product designed to improve bottlers’ economics as well as offering better environmental sensitiv- ity, while continuing to meet consumers’ requirements. The closure is available in short-height 28mm and 26mm sizes. The easy-open push- pull design provides bottle finish and closure resin sav- ings of approximately 20%. Non-carbonated beverages, such as juices, sport drinks, teas, and enhanced waters, have particular requirements related to sealing, safety, removal torques, and appli- cation. CSI’s offer in these market segments is a family of light-weight caps in 28mm and 38mm sizes, including Asepti-Lok V38 3S. The company’s one-piece aseptic closures incorporate a distinctive safety venting feature and tamper evi- dence system. The closures are claimed to help prevent product spoilage and elimi- nate risks to consumers from improper storage or handling throughout the entire supply chain. CSI’s Extra-Lok 38mm OD closure is designed for hot-fill applications and is one of the lightest two- piece 38mm closures on the market. Its liner profile enables customers to reduce their bottle finish thickness without compromising per- formance. The cap design maintains the seal with hot-fill vacuum packages, but allows excess pressure caused by fermentation to vent, which provides the product with improved consumer safety. www.csiclosures.com ABC COMPRESSORS NEW 40 BAR RANGE THE MOST PROFITABLE AIR Safe Investment Total energy savings over 50% Efficient Consumption Minimum Maintenance RELIABLE BEYOND LIMITS www.abc-compressors.com · 3 year guarantee. · Special financial terms. · Plug&Play.
