TRADE SHOW PREVIEW 50 PET planet Insider Vol. 17 No. 11/16 www.petpla.net Innovations for drinks processing HSM GmbH Co. KG, a German manufac- turer of baling presses, PET solutions and document shredders, will be exhibiting its new product solutions “Made in Germany” at the BrauBeviale trade fair. By means of a continuous feed, the HSM BRP 4810 briquetting press quickly and automatically compresses large amounts of PET bottles and beverage cans to up to a thirtieth of their original volume. A drive with a press force of 477kN is achieved via an efficient and low-maintenance PowerPack. It is not necessary to strap the briquettes. Thanks to the multi- level compression, the machine spits out briquettes with a density of up to 400kg/m³ with PET and up to 760kg/ m³ with aluminium cans. The robust construction made of wear-resistant steel is maintenance-friendly, since the third compression stage, the primary pressing stage, and thus the most wear-intensive part, can be completely replaced. The HSM PET FluidEx 600 quickly and reli- ably empties full PET bottles, cans and Tetra Paks, which were, for example, incorrectly filled or labelled or whose shelf life has expired. Using a filter system, small plastic chips and labels are cleaned from the liquid and removed. Up to 10,000 one-litre bottles per hour can be processed. This high performance, as well as the low space require- ment and possibility of direct integration into existing recycling processes, are the key factors of the HSM PET FluidEx 600. www.hsm.eu HSM Hall 7 | Booth 640 www.PreSens.de Scan & Measure Oxygen Ingress & Transmission Rates Fibox 4 Stand-alone fiber optic oxygen transmitter BrauBeviale 2016: Hall 4, Booth 411 Revolution to the storage and transport of preforms and closures In order to be competitive on the global market, industrial preform and closure manufacturers are con- stantly striving to organise their logistics in the most cost effective manner. Their end customers are large bottling and filling companies, who need to receive their preforms and closures in a returnable packaging container that is fully hygienic, easy to fold down when empty, and effi- cient to store in the warehouse. DS Smith has integrated all these elements in their Stackabox product range, that offers a plastic alterna- tive to the cardboard or metal solutions used today. The Stackabox series come in three different sizes to offer the best volume for each application, whether it’s clo- sures, preforms or blown bottles. A standard trailer will hold 52 full Stackaboxes, while a return load can take no less than 156 folded contain- ers, thanks to the good fold ratio. Furthermore, the patented bottom chute offers the possibility to empty the contents directly on the lines via the bottom, reducing neck breakage of the preforms. Of course the Stackabox is fully compatible with existing conveying and tipping equipment in the factories. The pallet and the sealable lids are all integrated into this one-piece container, in order to avoid loss of detachable components. True to its recycling policy, DS Smith closes the loop by offering a product that is fully recyclable at the end of its life, as the polypropylene raw material can be reused over again for the production of new containers. www.dwplastics.be DS Smith Hall 4A | Booth 207
