The Econ-PETblow A4C inside manufactures up to 2,800 0.5 – 1.5l PET bph from PET preforms, with air pressure of only 15bar. The fully-automated system disinfects the bottles with UV radiation, labels them and transfers them directly to the filling station where they are filled and then sealed with UV-radiated caps. The filled and finished bottles leave through a window in the container wall as ready-for-sale PET drinking water bottles. An EC connection for electri- cal power and a two-inch pipe coupling for drinking water, are mounted on the outside of the container. The system’s modular design allows additional functions to be added. www.pet-equipments.de Sealed and delivered Bericap will present a blend of existing products, upgrades and new features. It has already converted a large portion of its beverage closures into lighter weight versions. Its 33mm closures are now available for hot fillings in flat screw and ‘PushPull sport’ versions. The Push- Pull does not require any aluminium foil for safe sealing. The DoubleSeal 33mm is equipped with a cut and folded tamper-evident slit band. The bottleneck and closure can be as much as 40% lighter than existing 38mm closure systems. A new HexaLite clo- sure being presented at drinktec fits the PET 29/25 neck but is slightly higher compared to the current 29/11 closure. The HexaLite closure types are suitable for N2 dosing. BericapValve is a dispensing valve that is bi-injected to offer tightness, the company says. It is manufactured from TPE material in order to avoid contamination of the PET recy- cling stream. It is currently used for applications such as ketchups, chocolate sauces, products containing pieces and bodycare products and in the pharmaceutical industry. www.bericap.com Bericap Hall B3 Booth 502
