TRADE SHOW PREVIEW 44 PET planet insider Vol. 15 No. 11/14 www.petpla.net Brau Beviale 2014, 11-13 November: The PET Selection: Brau Beviale is opening its doors in Nuremberg, Germany, at 9 a.m. on November 11, 2014. In our second trade show preview we have gathered a selection on the many exhibits of interest in the world of beverages in PET. Rinse, fill, cap The main attraction on Slovenian company Vipoll’s stand will be a Visitron VKR-ES-DN 24-24-6K(+6SA) complete rinser/filler/capper unit. A machine of this type has already been ordered by a brewery in Russia that produces unfil- tered and unpasteurised quality beer, which requires high quality and hygiene standards. The filling module has 24 valves for carbonated and non-carbon- ated beverages. All drives are servo drives, including the infeed worm. A new outer cleaning system, which can be connected to the foam cleaning system, is designed to ensure total elimination of dirt and micro-organisms. A special cleaning attachment for the cap conveyer prevents the transfer of dirt from the equipment to the caps. External filling valves enable three-phases filling and can handle higher temperatures and less foam, for sensitive products. The fill- ing valves have adjustable precision filling tubes, which is said to eliminate the need for equipment changeovers when varying filling levels. The rinser has 24 grippers/spray nozzles. Its stainless-steel frame is microbiologically designed and prepared for CIP. Specially manufactured grip heads do not have to be exchanged when the container format is changed. The capper’s six crown cork capping heads, which are installed at every second position, are intended to facilitate upgrades for screw caps without exchanging other capping heads. Vipoll will also be presenting its new line of process technology: pasteurisation units, mixers for non-alcoholic beverages, blenders for beer, carbonation and decarbonation units. www.vipoll.si Vipoll Hall 7 | Booth 233
