TRADE SHOW PREVIEW PETplanet Insider Vol. 23 No. 10/22 www.petpla.net 54 Visitors to the Sipa stand can take part in a “full immersion” experience of what is possible in PET, rPET and new resins, through use of live production demonstrations and live links to remote operations. They are intended to give a deep insight into the company’s capabilities in providing customised solutions with the flexibility to adapt to fast-changing markets, across diverse technologies. Sustainability and digitalisation will be among key focus points. Single-stage ISBM technology Running all through the show will be a single-stage ISBM (injection stretch-blow moulding) system which Sipa will be using to demonstrate how flexible the technology can be in production of a wide variety of highquality containers – in this case, cosmetic bottles. The ability to respond to fast-changing customer and market requirements is more important than ever today, especially with the current substantial shortfall in availability of glass bottles. Based on the above, quick changeover is one of the key elements for a successfull growth and ESC SP is equipped with a state-of -the art feature for quick, easy and safe tooling change. The fact that the company has an extensive in-house mould design and production is an additional advantage for the customer. Injection mould making Sipa will also demonstrate its ability to develop and produce highperformance, high-cavitation preform injection moulds. On display will be one of the highest worldwide cavitation moulds. It has been optimised to enable the highest preform production rate, especially when it runs on the XForm high-performance injection moulding system, says the company. Also important for the future will be Sipa’s capacity to respond to customer calls for design modifications driven by changes in legislative requirement for bottle caps, which are likely to affect bottle neck designs. Sipa’s preform moulds incorporating a system for keeping injection moulds ultraclean, even when processing post-consumer recycled PET, will also be demonstrated. Videos will introduce Xactive-Cleaning for hot halves and Xvacuum-Cleaning for cold halves. These are systems that have been developed to avoid the accumulation of dust generated above all during processing of rPET. Xvacuum-Cleaning takes care of residues Sipa Hall 13 Booth B11 High productivity, low consumption & sustainability Sipa will be showing its wide expertise in PET container design and production technologies at the K show, focused on sustainable solutions based on reduced consumption of utilities and virgin fossil-based materials, and increased use of rPET and alternative resins. 180-cavity preform injection mould A selection of rPET bottle shapes developed by Sipa
