45 TRADE SHOW PREVIEW PET planet Insider Vol. 20 No. 05/19 www.petpla.net German Technology May 21-24, 2019, Guangzhou Hall 5.1, Booth S27 New lower volume PET preform system The PET bottle global market has been transforming from high output demands to more personalised packaging solutions. To address this new market, Guangzhou Huayan is introducing at Chinaplas the Econ PET preform system, a cost effective solution for low volume production, especially suited for small brand owners and converters with many different products. A 48 cavity system for a 12 g water bottle will be running at Chinaplas. Huayan is a leading supplier of PET preform systems in China, with over 850 systems running today up to 176 cavi- ties in more than 50 countries on four continents. The new Econ system is built from the well-received Ecoys platform with independent servo plasticising and optimised PET screw designs, result- ing in lower AA and IV drop as well as reduced energy consumption. The 220 t clamp machine accommodates moulds up to 48 cavities. The three position take off units minimise cycle times. Huayan produces their own precision PET moulds. They offer a wide range of application knowledge from the many Huayan preform moulds in operation worldwide as well as extensive proto- typing capabilities. This provides small converters the ability to create a wide variety of preform designs for smaller production volumes at an attractive price. The Huayan Econ line provides high quality, reliable low cavitation preform sys- tems at a price that results in the lowest cost of ownership, states the company. www.gzhuayan.com/en www.mymoldingsolutions.com Amut presents food-grade rPET solutions Having achieved a high profile after regularly collaborating in China National Building Waterproof Association events, Amut will be exhibiting a concept for pro- cessing 100% post-consumer bottle flakes into food grade single layer foil. The pro- cess, which was developed in partnership with plant and equipment manufacturer Erema, has already received FDA and EFSA approval and has been adopted by a number of European companies. Technology for waterproofing membrane production also on show Amut’s recycling division has been busy with the development of a Delabeller-PreWasher, which uses a dry process for both label removal and initial cleaning action. The Turbo Washer and Friction Washer carry out intensive cleaning, to remove all fine pollutants and even glue. These machines and the processes have demonstrated outstanding results even in the cleaning of highly polluted bottles. Fresh water usage is reduced to the minimum through continuous filtration, which enables it to be re-used through the whole process. Energy and cleaning agent consumption are also kept as low as possible. www.amutgroup.com AMUT Hall 4.1 Booth C55 HUAYAN Hall 3.1 Booth K31
