Small and medium enterprises as well as global players from Europe and the rest of the world use the cre- ative atmosphere at Brau Beviale to find and develop solutions to their unique challenges year by year. We at PETplanet are proud to have partnered with Messe Nürnberg for our latest Editour, and are equally proud to bring you comprehensive coverage before, during and after the event! On the following pages we have put together a first selection from many exhibits of interest to producers and fillers of PET bottles. Rotary labelling systems for various applications Gernep GmbH, from southern Germany, will be exhibiting its range of rotary labelling systems, includ- ing the latest version of its Labetta SK self-adhesive machine, which now uses servo motor technology on the self-adhesive dispenser in order to ensure precise and smooth label transfer. The Labetta wet glue labelling range includes Gernep’s patented overlay gearbox, which is designed to facilitate easy positioning. Rollfed and Rollina hot melt machines will also be on display. These machines use a closed hot melt system, which minimises contami- nation as well as cleaning and maintenance. The Gernep Combi system combines several different labelling pro- cesses on the same machine platform, within a compact footprint. www.gernep.de Gernep GmbH Hall 7 | Booth 331 Energy performance, labelling and aftersales support Krones will be showcasing its latest developments for both large companies and small and mid-tier bottlers.
