56 TRADE SHOW PREVIEW PET planet Insider Vol. 19 No. 09/19 www.petpla.net German Technology Oct 16-23, 2019 Hall 1, Booth C42 Entering the single-stage market with new Beauty Series machines FlexBlow has been producing most flexible two-stage stretch blow moulding machines since 1994. To celebrate its 25 th anniversary, FlexBlow is launching a special Beauty Series – a bespoke two-stage response to changing indus- try needs. On top of zero-scratch philosophy, the cosmetic market requires an increasing variety of container shapes, colours and necks - in ever decreasing batch sizes. FlexBlow has developed an integrated solution, which enables complete changeover from oval narrow neck cos- metic bottles to shallow wide-mouth jars within 30 minutes. Cosmetic jars: FlexBlow’s pick-and-place solution allows in feeding of any wide-mouth preform, including shallow shapes, and direct integration with parallel injection system, all-to minimise scratches on the preforms. Because in cosmetics elegance is everything, the Beauty Series machine comes in aesthetic white colour and premium exterior design. www.flexblow.com Hall 1 FlexBlow Booth A09 Versatile cleaning application Cold Jet, specialised in dry ice technology, will be presenting its new PCS 60. The PCS 60 features Cold Jet’s patented Particle Control System (PCS). The PCS precisely cuts dry ice into diamond shaped particles in the exact dimensions chosen by the operator (3mm to 0.3mm and 28 sizes in between). This allows the user to have versa- tility options in their cleaning appli- cations. With the PCS, a plastics processor can use one machine to clean many types of surfaces, such as the surface of injection moulds, deburring and deflashing, to cleaning injection screws. With a 7” LCD colour screen and digital controls, the PCS 60 provides an intuitive display that allows the user to easily view and adjust blasting parameters and machine settings. The machine features programmable and password-protected application recipes. This feature allows users to set and save blasting parameters, such as blast pressure, particle size and feed rate, which increases efficiency and ensures the right settings for each individual application. A plastics processor can save one application recipe for one of their moulds and another application recipe for a separate mould. This pre- vents user error and ensures the right parameters are used for each unique application. The optimised design, including a “straight through” air system and redesigned SureFlow feeding system, minimises air pressure loss and dry ice sublimation within the machine. This allows the user to maximise air supply yield and reduce dry ice waste. The PCS 60 is IoT enabled via Cold Jet’s Industry 4.0 solution, Cold Jet Connect. The system provides remote monitoring and diagnostics while allowing users to collect and manage data and employ tools for optimum per- formance and productivity. www.coldjet.com Hall 10 Cold Jet Booth D48
