TRADE SHOW PREVIEW 40 PET planet insider Vol. 13 No. 11/12 www.petpla.net CSI Hall 4 | Booth 536 Linerless for hot-fill Aptar Food + Beverage will showcase its Original family of standard flip-top sports closures, available in 28mm PCO 1810 and 1881, 30-25 and 38mm. Aptar have now gone one step further and extended this family, intro- ducing Contender, a 38mm linerless flip-top closure suit- able for hot-fill applications. Until now flip-top sports caps have required the use of a liner for hot-filling. Contender will be on show at Brau Beviale, along with other developments, including Aptar’s new bi-injected pouring closure, Duo, and the first full wet-aseptic flip-top closure, Asepta, which has innovative tamper evidence and opening features. Aptar is also a recognised partner for custom solu- tions in many different applications, such as Britvic Turbo Tango, the first CSD in a PET aerosol pack, which uses Aptar foam valve, actuator and overcap. The latest Tropi- cana multi-serve pack launched in the U.S. in transparent PET uses a new flip-top pouring closure developed by Aptar. Kraft uses Aptar SimpliSqueeze silicone valve dis- pensing in Mio, their new liquid concentrate. www.aptar.com Aptar Hall 4 | Booth 336 Capped and closed CSI will be displaying a wide range of plastic closures for cold- fill, aseptic-fill, and hot-fill applications for the beverage and beer markets. The product range includes 26mm clo- sures, 28mm 1881 and PCO caps, and 38mm caps as well as a range of sport closures. In addition to capping solutions, CSI will be featuring its Series 5000 Combi stainless steel capper. The series 5000 Combi capper allows the application of metal roll on and plastic screw clo- sures with cap-in-head on a single capper for glass, plastic, and aluminium containers. Also on show will be the Series 8000 NoLub capper, which uses permanently greased and sealed off bearings and does not require any lubrication over a 6,000h maintenance window. In combination with CSI’s XT6 headset, which also has a 6,000h maintenance free window with no lubrication required, CSI offers a no lube handling capping solution for grease/lubrication sensitive customers. Furthermore, CSI Machinery offers the grease and lubrication free metal roll on headset called VK900XT. This headset does not require any grease or oiling at any moment in time. www.csiclosures.com GEA Procomac Hall 7 | Booth 602 Blocked or stand-alone GEA Procomac will be exhibiting their range of aseptic filling technol- ogy. Visitors will also be able to investigate the recently introduced One bloc system, an integrated blowing and fill- ing solution for still or sparkling water and soft drinks with- out the need for air conveyors between the two machines. One bloc is available in two different configurations:  Aero is the standard configuration, with a glass protec- tion around the filler that provides safety and an open environment with maximum operator accessibility; the absence of base frames avoids any stagnation in the filling area and offers easy accessibility to the machine.  Aeroring configuration allows the filling of CSD products without the use of preservatives in an optimal manner and, also thanks to a slanted base frame, it is completely and easily cleanable with an automatic foaming cycle. The Fillstar LX series, volumetric electronic fillers with magnetic flow meters for water and any product filled in standard or ultra-clean conditions, and the new Fillstar LXi series, with the same features as the LX filler that can also handle carbonated drinks, has been designed to be cou- pled with the Airstar blow moulder to create the One bloc but are also available in stand-alone configuration with or without rinser. www.procomac.it
