62 TRADE SHOW PREVIEW PET planet Insider Vol. 18 No. 09/17 www.petpla.net Hall A4 - Booth 546 All-electric stretch blowing India-based Shyam manufactures stretch blow moulding machines, ranging from 600 B/H to 12,000 B/H. The company will be demonstrating a seven cavity all electric Pristine series linear blowing machine, with a speed of 10,000 B/H. The preform loading system and heating conveyor is based on continuous movement without the pneumatic reciprocating movements, eliminating abnormal wear & tear of moving parts and also reduces air consumption. The machine is based on Neck Hold system, right from preform entry to bottle ejection, thereby reducing the number of change parts, and change-over time. A servo stretching system with individual blowing valves is claimed to allow pre- cise stretch blow process control. Blow Air Recovery being an integral part of the equipment further reduces power consumption. The use of servo motors allow for smooth and controlled movement that help in reducing abnormal wear and tear of parts. Reduced pitch in the oven allows a higher number of preforms in the given heating area, and hence efficiently heat preforms using less heat, with minimal heat loss.In addition to live reports, live user manual, the Online Remote monitoring pro- vided in the machine makes it easy to provide After Sales support to the customer. www.shyamplastic.com Stackabox for the supply chain of preforms and closures There is a tendency in today’s circular economy to pack, transport, and dispense 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. The base dispensing offers the pos- sibility to empty the contents directly onto the lines via the bottom, reducing neck breakage of the preforms. Stackabox is fully compatible with existing conveying and tipping equipment. The pallet and the sealable lids are all integrated into this one-piece container, to avoid loss of detachable components. DS Smith recently launched a version with an integrated sliding door for the optimal dispensing of caps & closures.The product is fully recyclable at the end of its life, the material can be reused to produce new Stackaboxes. www.dssmith.com Hall A2 - Booth 324
