PETpla.net Insider 11 / 2011

TRADE SHOW PREVIEW 39 PET planet insider Vol. 12 No. 11/11 www.petpla.net Natural flavours and sweeteners Rudolf Wild GmbH & Co KG will focus its spotlight on nat- ural sweeteners such as Fruit Up and stevia, as well as drink creations like coconut water, beer mixes and malt drinks. New additions to the Wild range include ice teas, lemonades and fruit nectars, all sweetened with stevia, for which official European approval is expected at the beginning of 2012. Wild staff on the stand will be providing information on stevia and its uses. The company has also developed new concepts for cloudy beer mixes, in reaction to consumers’ growing prefer- ence for cloudy varieties with juice content and a natural image. Wild will also be showcasing a wide range of malt drink concepts: pure; fruit-flavoured; or in combination with juices. The company says that coconut water is a new trend from the USA and it will be presenting coconut as a basis for non-alcoholic drinks. Premium and ‘adult’ taste profile soft drinks will also be represented. www.wild.de Wild Hall 1 | Booth 119 Gernep Hall 7 | Booth 222 Rollfed, self-adhesive and wet glue labelling Gernep, the labelling machine manufacturer from southern Germany, is using the show to present its latest devel- opments in all areas of labelling. The Gernep Rollfed can handle wrap- around labelling of dif- ferent container formats, with OPP labels. The rotary labelling machine’s glue application is by a closed hot melt system that, the company says, prevents entry of contaminants and reduces cleaning and maintenance time. A recently-developed glueing head applies hot melt contact- free; the machines can, alternatively, be equipped with an end-glueing head for a continuous end-glued strip. Gernep’s Labetta SK self-adhesive rotary labelling machine has servo drives at the self adhesive dispenser to transfer labels pre- cisely and smoothly, including into recesses and larger label fields. It can also process ‘no-label’ look and water-resistant plastic labels. The Labetta wet-glue labeller features a new overlay gear for precise label adjustment, and glue segments are individually adjustable. Gernep’s Labetta Combi incorpo- rates wet glue, self adhesive and hot melt labelling. www.gernep.com 0 V S Q S F G P S N XXX SFTJMVY DPN %BNTUSBBU 8FUUFSFO #FMHJVN 5FM 'BY TBMFT!SFTJMVY DPN 1&5 1SFGPSNT #PUUMFT .POPMBZFS #BSSJFS 3FGJMM )PUGJMM : P V S C P U U M F XXX SFTJMVY DPN 7JTJU VT BU )BMM TUBOE
