66 TRADE SHOW PREVIEW PET planet Insider Vol. 18 No. 09/17 www.petpla.net l l l consumer bags textile packaging recycling r ECO Vision inspection solutions Pressco Technology Inc. will showcase their newest vision inspection solutions for companies that manufacture and fill food and beverage con- tainers.The scalable, modular platform delivers a wide range of inspection options across an entire blow-fill line. In the blowmoulder, Pressco offers a combination of camera modules which detect defects on the preform and/or the empty bottle, including virtual section weight measurement which is vital to process control. On the filling side, the company’s solutions include a multi-camera system for filled bottle inspection to detect mis- applied closures, tamperband defects and under/ over-filled bottles. Additional inspection options may be deployed at the cap feeder, labeller, date coder and case-packer. These inspection capabilities are controlled via a single centralised processor with one or more HMIs, which eliminates the inefficiency of multi- ple platforms from different suppliers. Pressco’s integrated system of distributed inspection means that one vendor can provide sales & service, training, technical support, spare parts, etc. on an entire vision system. Pressco Technology’s booth at Drinktec will have live demonstrations of their “up-and-down-the-line” inspection capabilities for H 2 O, CSD, hot fill and aseptic lines. www.pressco.com New generation of SBM machines Side S.A. will introduce the new generation of PET blowmoulding machines. This new generation promises a step forward to supply solutions and cost sav- ings to the company’s customers. One of the main objectives of the engineers at Side has been to design a new preform loading system that will include a recovery line for poorly positioned bottles to enable their return to the loading chute, thereby eliminating losses at this point. Also, the new generation has updated its design. The new casing is claimed to provide more space and greater accessibility to all the operational areas of the blower, thanks also to the combination of sliding doors. In addition, the new design makes handling and maintenance easier. Anew mobile support for the control touch screen of the blower has also been added, which gives the operator greater mobility and improved ergonomics during the PET bottle production process. Every product needs a good solution when it comes to wrapping and pack- aging. And when the product requires specific technical features, the correct container choice is essential for the product’s market success. The beverage industry is the perfect example of this kind of requirements. On site at Drink- tec, the commercial team of Side will explain and answer questions about the new generation of PET stretch blow moulding machines. Also, Side will show the most new bottles design of Thandle and the lastest developments for big containers, like the 30l for beer kegs from Petainer. www.sidemachines.com Hall A4 - Booth 402 Hall A4 - Booth 543
