47 TRADE SHOW PREVIEW PET planet Insider Vol. 19 No. 11/18 Flexibility on 4-cavity machine 1Blow keeps developing its range of stretch blow-moulding machines so that customers can enjoy more possibilities on their machines: from one to four cavities, all 1Blow machines are capable of producing all types of bottles (round, square, oval, off-centred, with neck orienta- tion, using standard necks, with a deep grip for easy handling, hot fill) and a wide variety of applica- tions, such as water, soft drinks, edible oil, sauces, juices, teas, honey, detergents or cosmetics. All these options are avaiable as options with a new machine as well as upgrades. Thanks to this, customers are adapting their investment to the market’s needs; meanwhile they are aware their machine may evolve and produce bottles with even more added value. 1B l ow c l a ims t ha t t he i r machines are of high flexibility thanks to easy and quick changeo- vers - all components are directly accessible. With a few rapid transfers inside the machine, the energy demand is low. The operator monitors all functions via the easy-to-use touch screen, thanks to servo drives that make these machines reliable, high- performance and low-energy consuming. Moreover, all 1Blow machines are equipped with an air recov- ery system that further reduces the total power demand of the system. www.1blow.com Sustainability, safety and new markets Petainer will be launching new Petainer keg products which have been specifi- cally developed using circular economy designs, focused on recycling and reuse. According to the company, they provide a more cost-effective and sustainable alterna- tive to traditional stainless-steel kegs, and a low-cost way of entering new domestic and international markets. Improved features include puncture and drop resistance. As a global business, Petainer will also be announcing new manufacturing facili- ties at the show, as it seeks to reduce the impact of its operations by bringing the supply chain to new markets, making its products even more cost-effective and more environmentally-friendly. www.petainer.com 1Blow Hall 7A | Booth 527 Petainer Hall 4 | Booth 137
