PETpla.net Insider 09 / 2013

TRADE SHOW PREVIEW 70 PET planet insider Vol. 14 No. 09/13 www.petpla.net Drying solution Piovan’s Gensys system offers users the opportunity to have a specific drying solution configured for their particu- lar needs. Low, intermediate and high volume PET per- form production lines have their own distinct requirements: Genesys is aimed at adapting to them. Piovan says that the management of different PET grades and typologies is emerging as a major factor to be managed by producers and that Genesys’ automatic adaptability function allows any PET to be properly treated before it hits the extruder barrel. The company says that it also foresees the need for additional processing variables in meeting demand for complex container formats and performance requirements and that the new machine will be able to adapt to them. www.piovan.com Piovan Hall B3 Booth 119 Empty bottles inspection and PET leakage monitoring BBull Technology, Germany, will be showcasing numer- ous new developments. First of all, in the shape of its Multi- kon EBI, BBull will be presenting an empty bottles inspection machine, together with Pulse – a special leakage monitor- ing system for flexible packaging which eliminates crushing, pressing or stress as far as the packaging is concerned. “Multikon EBI“ is characterised by its hygienic design and its hydraulic adjustment facility – no more handwheels or spindles. Up to 70,000bph can be inspected and defective bottles separated out. Pulse is an inspection system for controlling the pressure of flexible containers (cans, PET, plastic containers). This involves the use of the telekinetic impact procedure which delivers highly precise information regarding the internal pressure (and with it the tightness) of the container. Any container that falls outside a previously defined standard is identified and separated out at a speed of up to 60,000bph. The procedure can be used as a stand-alone solution or in combination with Compact Vision level control (the compact monitoring system based on cameras for filling level and clo- sure) or a BBull Image data control system. Also exhibited will be Protecx, the system for identify- ing foreign bodies in glass bottles featuring a combination of X-ray and image processing technology as well as the sort- ing and distribution of containers: with servo motor (”Brush Off“), with static (”Flex“) or dynamic multi-segment rejection “Snake“ www.bbull.de All about caps Corvaglia’s stand will host dis- plays presenting its four business areas, which range from prod- uct development, through mould manufacture and cap production, up to capping. www.corvaglia.ch BBull Technology Hall A5 Booth 544 Making the mould Kiefer Werkzeugbau GmbH makes moulds for all rotary stretch-blow moulding machines and for linear stretch-blow machines. The company offers customer support from research and design through to pilot blow- mould and series production, in the beverage, cosmetic and chemical industries. www.kiefer-mold.de Kiefer Hall B3 Booth 108 Corvaglia Hall B3 Booth 201 Labelling systems Markem-Imaje, manufacturers of industrial coding and labelling systems, will be presenting a complete range spe- cially geared to the requirements of the beverages industry and including two innovative items. SmartLase C, is a CO2 SmartLase encoder with touch screen, with an output of up to 100,000bph and featuring up to 120 characters per code as well as improved print quality. There are several models available in the new series. One model has been developed to prevent any damage to very thin-walled PET bottles. 9232S is an ink jet printer capable of delivering 2 lines of text at around 160m/ minute, i.e. a labelling capacity of 120,000bph. The 9232S will label all the materials for bever- ages packaging with just one ink. The availability rate has been increased to 99.9 % with the Smile-All-in-Program. Markem-Imaje will also be showcasing a number of label- ling solutions for secondary packaging and pallets (ink jet printers, labelling systems) together with their CoLOS soft- ware solution (centralised data management, pooling of print orders). www.markem-imaje.com Markem-Imaje GmbH Hall A6 Booth 339
