Light- weighting is still the theme of the day. According to Bericap its DoubleSeal System protects the bottle neck from deforming during hot fill so that significant material savings are possible in this area without jeopardising the safety of the filled product. The bottle neck will be lighter in the future, not just the 38mm bottles already on the market, but also the 28mm PET bottles. A newly devel- oped, 33mm lightweight bottleneck will complement the Bericap product range for closures in the hot fill range by the end of the year. Sports caps now for hot fill The Push Pull Next Generation, launched in 2010, is a 3-piece closure equipped with the Bericap DoubleSeal technology. Until now, the closure was used for aseptic fillings and suitable for dry and wet sterilisation processes. At the end of 2011, Bericap plans to launch the 33mm and 38mm PushPull Next Generation for the hot fill process without aluminium foil seal. Closures for CSD The SuperShorty family is suitable for sensitive bever- ages and carbonated drinks: For the PCO 1881 thread neck Bericap offers six different closure varieties and, upon request, customised designs.  The one-piece DoubleSeal SuperShorty Crown for beer can be equipped with an oxygen absorbing liner to maintain the quality of the beer.  The one-piece DoubleSeal SuperShorty varieties, like the DoubleSeal SuperShorty CSD and the weight reduced DoubleSeal SuperShorty Eco are suitable for carbonated drinks (up to 8g CO 2 / l).  For still drinks the DoubleSeal SuperShorty Still is available. A DoubleSeal SuperShorty version for hot fill is also available.  A two-piece LinerSeal Supershorty complements the range of drink closures.  The two-piece Thumb‘up closure and the 3-piece Push- Pull sports closures HexaLite 26 and 29 mm Along with the PCO 1881, the bottle necks PET 29/25 and PET 26/22 were developed for still drinks, particu- larly for still water. For these bottlenecks Bericap offers the HexaLite product line 29/11 and 26/10. The closures have a cut and folded safety band for product safety and tamper evidence. www.bericap.com Bericap Hall 4 | Booth 511
