TRADE SHOW PREVIEW 47 PETplanet Insider Vol. 23 to the parts in contact between the two label edges, which can then separated at the recycling stage by a cutting accessory (also supplied by Sacmi). This eliminates problems with container cleaning. IPS range The recycling of resins for foodgrade use has also become increasingly important. Having first been achieved with PET, the concept is now, potentially, being applied to the entire capsule-container system. Sacmi has developed a set of solutions that can be integrated onto standard machines in its range. Sacmi’s range of IPS preform presses have been adapted to process up to 100% of rPET and up to 50% of PET in flake form. Latest developments to be presented at Drinktec include the potential to increase the proportion of rPET flake to 70-75% and to make the entire process more linear, with optimal management of flake and granule mixtures without the need to use two separate processing hoppers. The new Packaging Center, which operates closely with the Laboratory, means that Sacmi Beverage has the facilities and skills to work with customers at all stages from design to product and to identify the best production technologies, with solutions certified and approved by leading global players in the industry. More than 1,000 neckcapsule designs have been developed by the Laboratory in recent years. This approach, through the Packaging Center, aims to involve the world of bottlers more extensively, as they work in close contact with the market on a daily basis and perceive its constant demand for sustainable innovation. The international trade fair in Munich is also an opportunity for Sacmi Beverage to present its new package of advanced customer support services. These start with machine testing and extend to customised, lifetime maintenance and service plans along with a new set of high added-value digital services. www.sacmi.com THE PACKAGING OF THE FUTURE WITH US
