A further positive effect is the fact that the bottle is 100% recyclable in the bottle-to-bottle process despite the coating. This development of the FreshSafe concept is easy to inte- grate into the bottling line, the use of a few interfaces and direct bottle transfer ensuring that a high standard of hygiene is achieved. In the spring of 2015 the first FreshSafe Block went into production. “Using our FreshSafe coating on PET bottles has helped us achieve a significant rise in sales,” says Dr. Joachim Konrad, Manag- ing Director of KHS Plasmax GmbH who are responsible for the coating technology. In the context of the overall pres- entation, further products and services available as part of the broad spec- trum offered by KHS were discussed. After a subsequent tour of the plant and the opportunity for personal dis- cussions the KHS Corpoplast anni- versary celebrations were brought to a close. www.khs.com www.pelabellers.it Frank Haesendonckx, Head of Technology KHS Corpoplast, explaining the new TriBlock.
