Until now the most important quality control test, known as the pull-off test, which checks the strength and consistency of the tamper evident band, has been done periodically offline in a remote laboratory. At the K show Pack- Sys Global will introduce their latest development in this field, “capLAB” at their own booth as well as at the Engel booth (hall 15 booth B42-C58). capLAB is a fully automatic in-line pull-off tester for quality supervision of cap production. The system can select caps at random or caps which meet specific requirements, for example caps from each cavity on an injection or compression mould or caps which were processed on a specific mandrel on the folding and slitting machine. Because the testing is done on an ongoing basis the time to get the results is measured in seconds. In addition capLAB can use the test results to automatically change the settings on the folding and slitting machine so that caps never go outside the approved limits. Because the testing is done automatically capLAB helps to reduce labour costs. The lower labour costs can mean that cap production can be performed at a location closer to the site where the caps are applied to the filled bottles, thereby saving transportation costs and reducing the transportation carbon footprint. www.packsysglobal.com Maag enhances systems expertise For the first time in its history, all the Maag Group’s companies will be showing together at the K show, featuring all their system solutions together on their joint booth. Maag will also be represented in hall 16 in the VDMA’s Circular Economy Pavilion. The experience within the Maag Group extends across virgin polymer production, compounding, extrusion, mechanical end-of-life recycling of plastic products, and highly engineered industrial pump applications. Maag concentrates on melt pump and filtration technology, automa- tik on strand pelletising technology, and Gala on underwater pelletiser and dryer technology. The Group’s pulverisers are manufactured at the Center of Excellence in Kent, Ohio, USA. The Ettlinger product range now also offers high-performance filters for post-consumer recycling as well as solution packages downstream of the extruder. Maag’s Centers of Excellence in Oberglatt, Switzerland, Grossostheim and Xanten in Germany, Eagle Rock, Virginia, and Kent, Ohio in the USA, as well as Maag Italy and the subsidiary in Shanghai, China, offer the engineering expertise to combine global know-how in custom sys- tems. Maags portfolio extends from small machines and systems for throughputs up to 100kg/h to machine and plant components capable of handling more than 100 t/h (centrifugal dryers, polymer pumps and custom solutions in industrial applications). At K’, trade visitors to the Maag stand will be served by an international team from all over the world, presenting new and upgraded machinery in pump, filtration, pelletisation and pulverising technology. www.maag.com Hall 9 Maag Booth A04
