28 TRADE SHOW PREVIEW PETplanet Insider Vol. 23 No. 09/22 www.petpla.net TRADE SHOWpreview Drinktec 2022 preview part 3 This third instalment of our Drinktec preview once again highlights exhibitors that are of particular interest to those involved in the PET value chain. You can see the exhibits each day from 12-16 September, 09.00-18.00 Monday to Thursday and 09.00-17.00 on Friday. In addition to displays from 1,200 exhibitors, there is an extensive supporting programme, including lectures (excerpt below) and the following PET-related themes. September 13 / Hall A3: Sustainable production & sustainable packaging 10:00-10:30 - Delphine Gueguen, Serac: How to remove chemicals from packaging sterilisation to make aseptic filling of drinks more environmentally friendly? 10:30-11:00 - Martin Brown, Heraeus Noblelight: Modern day solutions for high speed and environmentally friendly disinfection of food and beverage packaging materials 11:30-12:00 - Dr Markus Grafen, Industrial Physics Steinfurt: Reliable non-destructive CO2 measurement - from lab to field Preform range SGT will highlight recent preform developments. Among those are a 3- and 5-gallon refill preform for water bottles which have been recently improved in terms of design and geometry. 33% shorter than most 5-gallon preforms on the market, it is claimed to optimise bi-orientation, to obtain a better stretching and blowing ratio and to prevent the bottle from crystallising. Its weight has been reduced from 730g to 650g for the 5-gallon version, and 450g for the 3-gallon one. The 55mm preform neck has been specially designed to guarantee a perfect seal. The ovoid preform base enables the bottoms of the bottles to be lightened after blowing. The integration of rPET content and of a handle is possible. Other developments which will be showcased are a recyclable alternative to polystyrene (PS) yoghurt and dessert cups that may integrate up to 100% rPET and multilayer preforms with a low opacifier rate (< 1%) dedicated to UHT milk packaging. The insertion of a layer of black PET close to the internal wall of the preform enables 99.95% of light transmission to be blocked out, says SGT. This technology enables the nutritional qualities of UHT milk to be preserved for longer and reduces the use of opacifiers which disrupt recycling flows. SGT also offers a new 24/410 neck preform dedicated to cosmetic and personal care applications (200ml). Body lotions, face creams, shampoo, conditioner and hand sanitiser are all claimed to be suited to this new cosmetic preform. The company has also increased its 38mm neck range with new preform weights, from 62g to 75g, for 3 - 5l still water or detergent containers. SGT has also developed a new CSD preform, the 26/22 neck finish, distinguished by low height and weight. All SGT preform ranges are suitable with tethered caps. www.sgt-pet.com September 13 / Hall A3: Consumer world & Product design 14:00-14:30 - Dr Peter Golz, VDMA: Measuring energy consumption of filling and packaging machines according to VDMA 8751 - experience and transferability of the measuring concept to processing units 15:30-16:00 - Vincent LeGuen, Sidel: Consumer appeal and wide-ranging performance in one design 16:00-16:30 - A new paradigm: sustainability trends and the plastic bottling industry September 15 / Hall A3: Sustainable production & sustainable packaging 10:30-11:00 - How Labels and Sleeves can boost packaging recycling 11:00-11:30 - Dr Elodie Bugnicourt, Steve Gould, Graphic Packaging International: Unlocking the potential of paperbased packaging and flexible automation to contribute to a more circular economy 11:30-12:00 - Paul Niedl, Starlinger: The art of PET recycling The full programme is available at www.drinktec.com SGT Hall C5 – Booth 240 Over 200 machines already installed Throughout Drinktec and K’ exhibitions, 1 Blow will reveal the latest development in its range of l inear blow-moulding machines: the 2XL. This machine offers a wide range of options: from 50 ml up to 12 l; either round, square, oval, or off-centred neck orientation; or hot fill bottles, all available for multiple applications and markets. The Sure Grip option (see picture) is also available on the 2XL, providing an easy-to-use bottle with an integrated handle. Without using any additional material in the handle, this eco-designed bottle remains in the PET stream and facilitates recycling. www.1blow.com 1Blow Hall C5 – Booth 201
