PETpla.net Insider 10 / 2015

TRADE SHOW PREVIEW 46 PET planet insider Vol. 16 No. 10/15 www.petpla.net Sacmi: fillers, labellers and the latest in crown cap-making technology At this year’s BrauBeviale, Sacmi will be presenting a new range of ELT fillers, ECF fillers, ERF labellers and the latest developments in crown cap-making technology. Sacmi will be showcasing its new isobaric electronic fill- ers with dual evacuation valves, designed to fill beer cans/ CSDs in general (ECF range) and PET bottles (ELT range) that are becoming evermore popular within the global beer bottling market. According to the company, the new fillers offer significant advantages for the brewing and bottling industry. These range from minimisation of filling waste (tests show one bottle reject in 10,000) to a TPO (total pack- age oxygen) of just 30 parts per million, less than one third of the strict specifications demanded by the user. The company will also be showing the latest develop- ments in crown cap-making technology, especially the new PTC 600, a system developed in 2014. With 20% higher output, this machine reaches speeds of up to 231 pressing cycles per minute, equal to 6,000 caps/minute. Moreover, it does this while significantly reducing vibration (less stress on materials and vital machine parts), consumption and over all size while halving noise levels. Further advantages include a fully automated metal sheet loading system, controlled by dedicated servomotors. The press that can be completed with the CVS 3000 vision system, equipped with HD video cameras that ensure correct in-machine repositioning of the sheet picked from the magazine and, therefore, proper align- ment of the decoration. Downstream from the press, gasket- making (PCM) and closure embossing (CCD) systems are also available. And Sacmi’s labeller range has evolved even further: the new ERF modular labellers represent the latest evolution in roll-fed technology. With over one thousand roll-fed wrap- around labelling machines installed worldwide, Sacmi is one of the world’s leading suppliers in this segment. www.sacmi.it HSM presents machines for drinks processing HSM, the German baling press manufacturer will introduce new machines for drinks processing at BrauBeviale. The latest development is the HSM PET FluidEx 600. The system quickly and reliably emp- ties full PET bottles, cans and Tetra Paks which have been, for example, incorrectly filled or labelled or that have exceeded the expiry date. The liquid is purified of small plastic fragments by a filter system and labels are cleaned and removed. Up to 10,000 one-litre bottles can be processed per hour. This high level of productivity, as well as its low space requirement and the option of inte- grating it into existing recycling processes, are the key advantages of the HSM PET FluidEx 600. HSM will also showcase the “Plus Pro”, a variant of the vertical baling press V-Press 818 (sliding doors and hand wheel door lock) with a pressing force of 185 kN. It economi- cally reduces the volume of cardboard and foil. Due to its very low transport height, the HSM V Press 818 Plus Pro can be easily transported to any place of operation. A 4-fold polyester strapping keeps bales weighing up to 200 kg in shape, whereby the maximum bale size is 120 x 780 x 700 mm (L x W x H). Also on display will be a SEP screw label press in stain- less steel execution. It is spe- cially suited for bottle-washing machines with several label discharges. www.hsm.eu Tools for the craft brewer Krones Steinecker has developed the MicroCube brewhouse concept for brew sizes of five or ten hectolitres: the MicroCube is a complete brew- ing system, with brewhouse and fermentation cellar, designed for installation on a minimised footprint. With the MicroCube, CombiCube and One2Brew system concepts, Steinecker offers the right technology for each application category, whether it’s pilot plants, craft brewing, or large breweries. Krones has also thought about the filling process, and by developing the Craftmate is premiering a can filler for the lower output range, while the space-saving Kosme Barifill can be relied on to fill the bottles. In addition, with the Proportional Flow Regulator filling valve component, which enables the flow velocity to be steplessly regu- lated, Krones has put all the preconditions in place for a more flexibilised filling operation. Together with its subsidiaries Kosme, Syskron (intral- ogistics), Evoguard (for valves and pumps), and KIC Krones (for expendables), Krones will also be showcas- ing at this year’s BrauBeviale its comprehensive corpo- rate capabilities as a complete-system vendor for filling and packaging technologies in all output categories. www.krones.com HSM Hall 7 | Booth 7-640 Krones Hall 7A | Booth 7A-520 Sacmi Hall 7A | Booth 7A-323
