52 TRADE SHOW PREVIEW PET planet Insider Vol. 18 No. 08/17 www.petpla.net The new Sangemini Sport: The “Official Water” for the 2017 Giro d’Italia Sangemini is not just water, it’s real “sports nutrition” and is devel- oped especially for its target audi- ence, by athletes and, generally, by anyone who exercises. That’s why this design takes its inspira- tion from the shape, strength and compactness of the flasks used by cyclists and marathon run- ners. The open/close cap has a drip-proof valve, the squeeze-grip makes it practical to use when run- ning, and the carbon-look knurled pattern is inspired by the mate- rial used to make sports bikes, all of which make the new Sangemini packaging considerably technical and particularly well suited to its role as “Official Water” for the 2017 Giro d’Italia. Sangemini and other packaging project of PET Engineering can be discovered at their booth. www.petengineering.com For all Specialty Closures like flip top or push-pull closures as well as dosing inserts and sports caps L I V E A T CapWatcher ® SC Closure Inspection Today.

Digitalisation plays a key role in this context, and constitutes a unifying theme for the entire Krones stand. Because marrying iron and steel to clouds and data makes for an even closer intermeshing of all processes along the entire value added chain – and will in the end upgrade performance levels in the production environment as well. Amongst the exhibits will be a high-speed line for filling bottles with beer as well as a varied spectrum of block concepts for com- plete lines. Concepts for individualisation will be exem- plified by a pilot line comprising a combination of filler, direct printing machine and intelligent conveyors on which Krones intends to show that even small batch sizes can be efficiently produced while retaining flexibility. This means that in future products can be filled on a just- in-time basis, and the containers individually dressed using a direct printing process – without order-picking and without warehousing. www.krones.com Hall A4 - Booth 311 Hall B6 - Booth 100
