This effective cool- ing process also prevents condensation on the mould’s outer shell, thereby achiev- ing additional energy savings of up to 15%. The patented AirbackPlus air recycling system which provides up to 40% energy savings com- plements the KHS Series Five with its new EcoDry air management system. It uses air left over after the blow and recycling process to replace a separate air dryer in the base mould area and blowing wheel. This means that, in combination with DuoCooling, the entire blow mould remains free from condensation and corrosion even under adverse climatic conditions. Consequently, EcoDry users are able to save around 50,000 Euros per year on 5,000 production hours. Beyond blow moulding In addition to the Blo- fill Series V, KHS will be highlighting more solutions which are of interest to the PET industry. The Nature MultiPack marketed by NMP Systems, a wholly-owned subsidiary of KHS GmbH, groups beverage containers into a stable, easily ‘opena- ble’ or separable pack using dots of adhesive rather than shrink film. The packag- ing solution is suitable for both PET bottles and cans. Compared to containers classically packed in film DoGa 2 heating concept: In the oven, the preforms are positioned to the left and right of centrally fixed radiant heaters. the Nature MultiPack not only saves on packaging materials but also on energy; the KHS packaging system requires up to 85% less material than the conventional multipack and reduces energy consumption during production by a maximum of 67%. Also in the spotlight will be the FreshSafe technology, a wafer-thin glass coating which is applied to the inner wall of a PET bottle to protect the sensitive content. Unlike multilayer solutions, the glass-coated PET bottles are com- pletely recyclable, as the coating is washed off in the recycling process and the PET is then homogenous. KHS offers the FreshSafe-PET tech- nology not only for juices and nectars, but also for other sensitive beverages such as milk, by combining the bar- rier solution with their aseptic fillers Innosept Asbofill. www.khs.com Tech-Long offers a complete line of high-speed packaging solutions to deliver XQVXUSDVVHG ŴH[LELOLW\ HIƓFLHQF\ DQG value to our customers. • Blowmoldingmachines • Fillingmachines Ř %ORZLQJ ƓOOLQJ FDSSLQJPDFKLQHV • PETpreform injectionmoldingmachines • End of line solutions &RQQHFW ZLWK 7HFK /RQJ WRGD\ IRU UHOLDEOH VROXWLRQV ZLWK WKH KLJKHVW HIƓFLHQF\ DQG lowest cost of ownership.
