42 TRADE SHOW PREVIEW Vol. 20 No. 11/19 www.petpla.net Bottle labelling Amongst this year’s exhibits, Sacmi will be highlighting complete bottle label- ling solutions. These range from the ultra-high productivity Opera Modular series – designed for beers and spirits and capable of managing bottles of highly complex shape – to the Kube range, the Sacmi solution for medium output opera- tions. The modular structure is claimed to ensure high versatility as it lets users operate in parallel on multiple labelling technologies/systems while making use and maintenance easier. More specifically, the Opera Modular solution on show at the fair will be equipped with a module designed to apply cold glue and self-adhesive labels on glass beer and other alcoholic drink bottles. Both the Kube and Opera Modular solutions are equipped with the automatic seal application system; they also feature LVS bottle positioning and Quality Control systems. The latest Sacmi products also include digital label printing systems. Labels are vital for bringing out the best in a brand and now, thanks to Sacmi D-Match - a versatile, economical solution that combines maxi- mum personalisation with digital print quality, high speed and lower logisti- cal and reel storage costs - they can be transformed into effective marketing tools. www.sacmi.com Sacmi Hall 7A | Booth 222/323 Solutions for avoid- ing micro-particles The specialist in cap feeding systems Gassner will be concen- trating at Brau Beviale on avoiding micro-particles in bottled products, caused by contaminated closures. Anew addition to the range will be the SmartClean device, an ionised air cap rinser for the cleaning of closures just before the application. This compactly designed devel- opment is claimed to be capable of removing particles with greatly improved efficiency. Other bene- fits include good access for the purpose of cleaning, robustness against aggressive detergents and reliability, even in wet and steamy conditions. Gassner claims that the system has low operating costs and does not need pressurised air. It can be integrated into existing lines. In addition, the Gassner strat- egy package includes a variety of further solutions to improve hygienic conditions at the cap trans- port. The company claims to be the only manufacturer who delivers all components of cap feeding from one single source, manufactured with in-house know-how. www.gassner.co.at Gassner Hall 7 | Booth 459
