43 TRADE SHOW REVIEW PET planet Insider Vol. 21 No. 03/20 www.petpla.net TRADE SHOW review Natural ingredients Döhler presented pioneering ingredients, ingredient sys- tems and integrated solutions for the beverage industry. The focus was on developments combining plant-based nutrition, naturalness and sugar reduction with unique multi-sensory experiences, to satisfy the wishes of environmentally and health-conscious consumers. From reduced-sugar adult soft drinks in innovative flavours, to fruity and fresh NFC juices, to refreshing fruit-infused water and full-bodied, alcohol-free beers, visitors to the Döhler stand were able to discover inspirational ideas for their next beverage product. All these concepts are based on a comprehensive portfolio of natural ingredients ranging from natural flavours, natural colours, health ingredients, pulses & cereal ingredients, dairy & plant-based ingredients, fermented ingredients, fruit & vegetable ingredients to ingredient systems, as well as a diverse range of certified organic ingredients. In addition, Döhler also presented its diverse ingredient portfolio which provides potential for further product concepts. From functional sport drinks containing magnesium and which are available in different flavours, to authentic tea drinks in organic quality, to alcohol-free beers and malt drinks with a typical beer character – the concepts are intended not only to impress thanks to their natural and fresh tastes, but also to provide diverse inspiration for different product positionings. www.doehler.com Piston compressors with a Plus At the show, Atelier Francois (AF) was focusing on its range of highly efficient oil-free low-pressure 6-15 bar piston compressors. These are suitable for all compressed air applications, including food and beverage and brewery applications. The capacities range from 7.2 to 58m³/min in accordance with ISO1217. The Belgian company also offers oil-free piston compressors from 20-40 bar with capacities from 150 to 3,300m³ / h in accordance with ISO 1217. The Smart Inverter Starter (SIS) is one of the options available. It ensures that the starting current never exceeds the nominal current and the full load power never exceeds 100 per cent. Additional shielded cables, line filters or other protection devices are redundant. This development comes along with the Adjustable Air Flow System (AFS). It is used when less than full air capacity is needed. When 100 per cent air capacity is needed, the first stage double-acting cylinder compresses the air on the up and down stroke of the piston. This raises the atmospheric air to 4 to 5 bar achieving the most important pressure ratio. For 55 per cent air capacity, the first stage cylinder compresses atmospheric air only on the upward stroke of the piston. AFS automatically unloads the lower part of the cylinder to match air flow required in the system. www.afcompressors.com The AF team at Brau Beviale PART 2
