32 TRADE SHOW PREVIEW PETplanet Insider Vol. 23 No. 09/22 www.petpla.net A leap in quality monitoring for beverage ingredients as well as line parameters For years, the company Dausch Technologies, with its LiquiGuard programme, has been offering non-alcoholic beverage bottling plants the opportunity to precisely measure and visualise even small amounts of all relevant ingredients: total acid, caffeine, base material concentration, aromas, important sweeteners, B vitamins, Na benzoate as well as K sorbate or near water flavours. This is made possible by unique optical spectroscopy methods. The LiquiGuard Gen3 system continuously measures the beverage flow every ten seconds, processes the sample immediately and displays the result clearly in tables or charts on screens: smartphone, tablet or PC. This means continuous, fully automated quality monitoring of all relevant beverage parameters. However, what is completely new at Drinktec is that LiquiGuard Gen3, with the Quality Dashboard module, can not only process its “own” quality values, but also all data from all manufacturers involved: bottle weight, closure and torque, tightness of cans (seam parameters), carbon dioxide content, brix, conductivity, and much more. Consequently, the operating personnel on the line, as well as in the syrup room, in the quality assurance laboratory or even on the move, can query and check all values of the entire filling line at any time, in real time. www.dausch-technologies.de S3000 series: faster speeds, less energy Side S.A. says that its 3000 series blowing machines are designed to provide high production capacities for mineral water and soft drinks bottling in medium-sized facilities. The S3008 offers outputs in excess of 18,000 bph in 500 ml formats from eight cavities and is capable of producing containers of up to 2.5 l. It is the only machine currently available that can work with 38mm necks. The 3000 series includes three other blowing models. Two are aimed at large format containers for capacities such as five and eight litres. The five-cavity version has outputs up to 6,500bph; the four-cavity model can produce 4,000 10 l bph. Options such as preferential ovens for blowing oval bottles can be integrated. The new range allows blowing machines to be interconnected with filling and capping monoblocs, minimising machine footprint. Power and air consumption savings The reconfigured transport system and oven enable 3000 series blowing machines to deliver power consumption savings of over 20%, compared to previous models. The air recovery system is also more efficient, reducing consumption by 40%, the company says. Side offers the option of installing complete blowing, filling and capping systems for bottlers of water, soft drinks, juices, dairy products, oils and detergents or cosmetics. Other developments Side S.A. ’s new version of i ts 1002e+ 160ec blowing machine can blow wide-mouth containers up to 83mm, using a hybrid loading system. The new 2002eGXL blowing machine can produce up to 1,600 bph in 16 l formats and is capable of producing stackable 25 l one-way containers. The 5001eG’s newly developed preform pre-blowing stretching system provides capacities of 280-300 5 l returnable carboys per hour, even in containers with an inserted handle. This system can increase diameter without decreasing inside temperature, thus reducing the cycle time and improving material distribution throughout the container. www.sidemachines.com Dausch Hall B3 – Booth 357 Side Hall C5 – Booth 235 Label Lab Multi-Color Corporation (MCC) returns to Munich with the introduction of The Label Lab where their experts will inform about the latest developments and innovations in beverage labelling. A strong focus will be placed on sustainable label solutions including everything from recyclable PSL to floatable shrink sleeves and wash-off labels for returnable bottles. MCC‘s Sustainability Director, Stijn Billiet will be hosting focussed seminars and interactive discussions on sustainability. The company will also emphasise on how next-gen labels help products win the battle for the shelf. MCC will display a variety of interactive options for packaging that includes functional inks that react to UV/sunlight, black lights, heat/cold, etc. Inspiring examples of how labels can appeal to all of the senses using unique inks and materials will be highlighted. Smart packaging: the connected consumer Augmented reality, QR codes, and scannable labels are a great way to engage consumers and provide an interactive experience, as well as more efficiently and effectively manage a company‘s inventory. MCC will provide an industry update on the use of RFID and EAS tag use in packaging, including retailers demand and how MCC is positioning for the future. www.mcclabel.com MCC Hall C6 – Booth 326
