39 TRADE SHOW PREVIEW PET planet Insider Vol. 20 No. 11/19 www.petpla.net TRADE SHOW preview BrauBeviale 2019 From November 12 to 14, 2019, Brau Beviale will take place in Nuremberg, Germany. The products and solutions showcased by around 1,100 exhibitors cover the entire beverage process chain. This year too, the main theme is the future viability of the beverage industry, and the challenges facing both equipment suppliers and beverage manufacturers will be explored. The popular BrauBeviale Forum offers its audience information, inspiration and the opportunity for interaction. Its highlights include high-calibre panel discussions with the who’s who from the beverage industry and political sphere on the two topics “Bottle deposit” & “Mineral water – a problem not a pleasure?” that are also hotly debated by the wider public. For details of the supporting programme please go to www.braubeviale.de/en/events Design for light-weight products Kiefer Werkzeugbau GmbH based in Schwaigern, Ger- many, has been active in the mould and die industry for the plastics processing industry for more than 30 years. As an independent mould maker, Kiefer is producing blow-moulds for all common rotary blow moulding machines and for linear blow moulding machines As the market demands savings in energy and lightweight products, new concepts in bottle design are required. There are various approaches such as the use of a new preform with a reduced thread, or a creative bottle design. The grip and shape stability on a thinner-walled bottle can be achieved by incor- porating certain stabilising grooves, shafts, spirals. Here, the developer sets lines, waves and elements in such a way that the height differences haptically achieve a corresponding stability. Innovative bottom interpretations in the field of light-weight & low-pressure base design with the Pataloid-base and the flat base allow the bottler to reduce the blowing pressure by 30-50%, resulting in huge energy savings. The optimisa- tion of the ventilation system between the bottle and the mould cavity enables faster exhaust of the air with a lower blowing pressure. Air moves in a homogeneous way: vent holes are replaced by lines. The finish of the bottle is improved, with a stronger, yet lighter base. These specifications of the light-weight & low pressure base design are common to all suitable blow moulding machines. www.kiefer-mold.de Kiefer Hall 7A | Booth 108 Speed-controlled all-in-one systems Boosters are needed when, for pro- duction-related reasons, compressed air is required at a higher pressure than network pressure. Kaeser’s new boosters provide the ideal solution for compressed air users in the brewery industry who require higher pressure air. As the first all-in-one booster system, the DNC series from Kaeser is now also available with variable speed control and with motor powers from 22-45 kW. As a result, the compressor flow rate is matched to actual air demand, which means that only as much energy is consumed as is needed to produce the supply of higher pressure compressed air. The system is therefore also especially efficient in the partial load range since the compressor switches to idle operation when air demand drops below the control range. Compressor operating speed and energy consump- tion are consequently kept to a minimum. With a motor capacity of 7.5-22 kW and flow rates of 2.3-12.2 m³/min, the CBS rotary screw blower provides the perfect solution for users, for example, who require air for wastewater treatment in operational clarification plants with a pressure differential of up to 1,100mbar. The blower also shines through with its many benefits when it comes to liquid aeration, flotation, fluidisation and bio- reactor applications. It is stated to be up to 35 per cent more efficient than com- parable conventional rotary lobe blowers and to offer significant energy advantages in the double-digit range compared with many other rotary screw blowers on the market. In fact, a rotary screw blower is so powerful that it can easily and effec- tively cover the control range of two to three rotary lobe blowers. www.kaeser.de 200ml bottle (left) and 330ml bottle (right) Kaeser Hall 4 | Booth 441 Rotary screw power for blowers, the Kaeser CBS series
