Starbloc integrates blowing, labelling, filling and capping into a single system in a solution designed to meet the needs for water, beverage, condiment and dairy products. It has a maximum capacity of 53,000 bph for 200-2,500ml PET bottles. Newamstar says that Starbloc’s highly-integrated design enables it to occupy a small footprint and that it offers a rapid return on investment. It incorporates a sixth generation blowing machine, with output capacity of up to 2,650 bottles/ mould/hour. Full servo synchronisation control enables quick changeovers and with flexible production. Multi-label stations are compatible with different bottle types and labels and pre-adhesive labelling technology eliminates the need for glue stations, making operation and maintenance easier. Sterilisation modules and technical process control with non-contact elec- tronic filling valves are designed to maximise hygiene and an online inspec- tion and rejection system control preform, empty bottle and label quality. The installed MES system undertakes life-cycle management of data identification, acquisition tracking and quality traceability. Newamstar says that Starbloc is very much part of the industry’s technological progress towards “perfect” (error-free) factories. www.newamstar.com 38D-KL for dairy and non-carbonated beverages The new 38mm D-KL linerless HDPE closure (38D-KL) from Clo- sure Systems International (CSI) is designed with consumer and dairy producer satisfaction in mind. Through its improved application performance and drop-down tamper evidence for additional security, the 38D-KL is precision engineered to deliver reliable performance on HDPE and PET dairy bottles. CSI’s 38D-KL is commercially available for applications in non-carbonated cold- and ambient-filled beverages and liquid dairy markets. CSI’s 38D-KL closure is intended to deliver a sustainable solution and can be sourced with up to 40% PolyCycle, CSI’s post-consumer recycled (PCR) HDPE resin. PolyCycle PCR is sourced from recycled milk and other beverage containers, providing an opportunity for closed loop packaging and ensuring high quality sourcing. Both the HDPE and the PolyCycle PCR version of CSI’s 38D-KL closure are 100% recyclable. www.csiclosures.com 35 PRODUCTS info@hasplastik.com Tel: +90 212 695 50 00 Fax: +90 212 694 97 24 100815dmyR .com
