TRADE SHOW PREVIEW 46 PET planet insider Vol. 17 No. 03/16 www.petpla.net Netstal Booth A10 High output rates The PET-Line 5000, designed for moulds with 96 to 144 cavities, will be presented by Netstal to meet the high output rates demanded by the Asian PET market. As with their smaller models, the PET-Line 5000 is said to offer good parameters in the areas of energy consumption, control technology and machine control. The lock-to-lock time, from unlocking the mould to preform removal and locking, has been reduced by up to half a second, according to the company. For standard applications with cycle times of less than 10s, this equates to an increased output performance of tens of thousands of preforms per day. In addition, Netstal will be highlighting the Elion series and the numerous versions for the caps and closures sector as well as in- mould labelling (IML) systems technology for the Asian packaging market. www.netstal.com An Elion 800-270 will be on display, demonstrating the production of petri dishes for the medical sector. ALPS machines leak test more than 25 billion PET bottles annually.

This compact chiller, with a rated cooling capacity of 9.1 kW had been upgraded, as had the complete range, by the installation of a user-friendly touchscreen with new integrated features. As part of the modernisation of the product range, the main eye-catching feature of the devel- opments lay in the further increase in energy efficiency as well as the user-friendly maintenance and use. With new fans, the noise level was also reduced. The modular machine concept can be adjusted for varying areas of use via a number of useful options, such as redundant operat- ing pumps, stainless steel pumps and various evaporator designs. Because of their compact construction, both air- and water-cooled compact chillers are ideal for display even where space is limited. www.gwk.com
