TRADE SHOW PREVIEW 71 Stacking it up R&D/Leverage and East- man will be presenting its new, stackable bottle, which was developed in R&D/Leverage Product Solutions Laboratory and produced on a Nissei ASB 70DPH Injection Stretch Blow Moulding Machine. The bottle has been specially produced for drinktec in order to demon- strate the possibilities of East- man’s recently-launched range of glass-like polymers. This development is particularly aimed at the cosmetic industry but R+D/Leverage says that it could also have uses in the drinks industry. www.rdleverage.com Dispensing solutions Aptar Beverage will be introducing two new flip-top sports closures: Asepta and Contender. Asepta was designed especially for wet and dry aseptic filling and is intended to allow more access to flip-top linerless closures to produc- ers of sensitive beverage. Asepta features a patented technology that prevents any ingress during sterilisation and its design includes an opening with non- detachable tamper evidence. Contender is a hot-fill compatible 38mm linerless flip-top closure designed to be easily manipulated with one hand. Two new products will make their debuts at drinktec. The latest Tropicana multi-serve pack, launched in the U.S. in transparent PET, uses a new Aptar flip-top pour- ing closure and Kraft uses Aptar SimpliSqueeze silicone valve dispensing in Mio, their new liquid concentrate. www.aptar.com Aptar Hall B3 Booth 206 PET planet insider Vol. 14 No. 07+08 China connection Chum Power Machinery Corpo- ration, from Taiwan, will be showing its latest CPSB-LSS12C PET stretch blower and connector.
