CAPPING / CLOSURES 33 PET planet insider Vol. 13 No. 01+02/12 light-weighting closures for the new 26/21mm standard: its 26mm closure range for edible oil. The internal diam- eter of the 26/21 neck remains the same as on the traditional 29/21mm neck, which enables producers to keep the same filling nozzles. Only the external diameter – and therefore wall thickness – and the height of the neck have been reduced. While all the available new 29mm closure/ neck variants generate weight savings compared to their predecessors, the lightweight one-piece CTC 26/10 is another possible solution. Custom- ers who prefer the two-piece, screw- cap solution can be supplied with EV 26/18 closures equipped with a flow controlling marguerite; those who prefer a hinged closure can request the HC EV 26/18 one-piece closure solution. Customers looking for a cost efficient solution, while still wanting to have a pouring mechanism, could incline towards a two-piece CTC IP closure with an inserted pouring device. All these closure variants fit the same 26mm finish. www.Bericap.com Lightweight HexaLite 29/11 fitting on 30mm neck. One of the Bericap’s closure range for edible oil: Lightweight CTC IP 26/13
