Being one of the leading brands in the North West region for over 100 years, Cabreiroá, owned by Hijos de Rivera is setting its sights on a national market The traditional brand is being revitalised, with a new PET bottle range and collection of six pressure sensitive labels, printed by Spear. Aimed at the premium market, each of the six back labels were printed with a different scenery design in mirror fashion. Spear then applied a solid white to conceal it before printing the back label design (promoting their spon- sorship of the Spanish national football team). The Cabrei- roálogo on the front label had to be a strong, clean white to stand out against the photographic back label image. In line with requirements for a premium look pack, Spear chose a hi-reflectance silver, printed sub-surface, to create a foil effect on which to display the beverage description. The result is an aquatic scene magnified through the bottle, complimenting the energetic silhouette on the front label. “The new labels represent a turning point into the world of PET containers. Thanks to our collaboration with Spear, we have achieved optimal synchrony between the front and back label. In our opinion, this is a fantastic method of conveying a message of vitality and Galician origin in a simple and natural way.” Juan Paz García, Hijos de Rivera. www.cflex.com/Labels.1668.0.html www.spearsystem.com HSM channel baling presses feed by Euro Pool Systems In neatly lined-up wire cage carts, cardboard, PET bottles and cans from 175 post consumer waste of a supermarket chain in Hungary were carried via chain conveyors into two parallel chan- nel baling presses and tightly compacted. Two shifts a day, six days a week. Euro Pool has decided to build a new hall in Hungary which will accommodate the recycling of materials from the food industry. Two fully automatic channel baling presses from HSM will enable the volume of packaging to be drastically reduced and returned to the recycling loop in the form of bales of material. The system at Euro Pool System comprises two HSM VK 8818 FU channel baling presses and materials handling. VK 8818 means: a fully automatic channel baling press with a press capacity of 880kN and a feed opening of 1,000 x 1,800mm. The presses are each equipped with a frequency converter (FC) and thus save around 40% in energy compared with conventional power units. The facility was planned and built together with a new hall. The operating personnel con- tinuously load the chain conveyors with the materials to be compressed, which have been supplied correctly sorted. One of the two presses is equipped with a PET perforator so that the PET bottles are perforated before being com- pressed and thus their volume can be substantially reduced. The HSM channel baling presses produce solid bales with five straps measuring 1,100 x 750mm, weighing between 500 and 700kg and between 1 and 2m in length. The bales are correctly sorted and therefore bring in a high level of sales revenue. www.europoolsystem.com  www.hsm.eu VISIT US AT: Fakuma Friedrichshafen, Germany Hall A7, Stand 7312
