TRADE SHOW PREVIEW 50 PET planet insider Vol. 15 No. 11/14 www.petpla.net Pure, dry, energy-saving compressed air Quality compressed air treatment is more or less essen- tial when working with foodstuffs. Kaeser Kompressoren will be presenting its Secotec series thermal mass refrigeration dryers, which are now available for a total range of 17 to 34 m³/min. the company says that its Secotec TF series dryers feature both low energy consumption and latent heat storage technology and offer 98% higher thermal storage density, compared to typically available systems with conventional thermal storage media. They also use 46% less space and are claimed to be around 60% lighter than existing systems, while consuming less than 87 watts per m³/min of com- pressed air to be dried. Also on the stand, the new Kaeser Filter products down- stream from the dryer are designed to provide dependable removal of anything that shouldn’t be in the compressed air. They operate with minimal pressure differential, which remains virtually constant throughout the entire lifetime of the filter element. Low pressure differential leads to lower energy consumption. Kaeser filters’ performance character- istics were determined in accordance with ISO 12500 and were tested and verified by Lloyd`s Register, an independent testing agency. Visitors to the stand will be able to closely inspect Kaes- er’s compact Airbox compressed air systems and CSG-2 and DSG-2 series dry-running rotary screw compressors, along with the energy-saving Secotec TF dryer with inte- grated Sigma Control. Kaeser says that it offers dry com- pressed air with reduced energy consumption. Its dry-run- ning rotary screw compressors come with a ready-integrated i.HOC rotation dryer. www.kaeser.com Kaeser Hall 4 | Booth 429 Better-looking PET P.E.T Engineering has been working on projects which could help people to see PET as a valid alternative to glass, aluminium and HDPE, in both mechanical perfor- mance and appearance. The company will be presenting four projects, which have seen designers and engineers committed to developing packaging with a premium appearance using PET. The packaging proposed was born from a desire to ennoble PET by studying accessory elements such as labels and over packaging in order to create product systems capable of reconfiguring popular perceptions of PET bottles in the minds of bottlers and end consumers. PET Engineering says that the project outcomes – named Twins, Hero, Diva and Valley – will show that it is possible to make a container of great shelf- appeal together with good mechanical characteristics that is also unbreakable and affordable. P.E.T. Engineering is a partner to Petnology, the yearly conference that is sub-divided into three themed cycles, and will be held concurrently with Brau Beviale. It offers experts in the supply chain and bottlers the opportunity to discuss the future of packaging and the challenges which the PET industry faces. Moreno Barel, P.E.T. Engineering’s C.E.O., will be making a conference presentation on PET’s future in alcoholic drink bottling in Russia in Stream B, the theme devoted to technical and innovation presentations. P.E.T. Engineering’s projects will also be found in PETArena within Brau Beviale. With its bottle developed for Devin, already a finalist in the Luxury Packaging Award, P.E.T. Engineering is also taking part in the World Bever- age Innovation Awards @ Brau Beviale, organised by Foodbev Media. In conjunction with Unesda (the Union of European Beverages Associations) and Wafg, (the German non-alcoholic drinks trade association), P.E.T. Engineering’s Devin competing for Best Bottle in PET. www.petengineering.com PET Engineering Hall 7 | Booth 248-349
