40 TRADE SHOW PREVIEW PETplanet Insider Vol. 24 No. 04/23 www.petpla.net New label inspection system For the first time Intravis GmbH, a provider of inspection solutions for the plastic packaging industry, will take part in Interpack. At their booth, visitors will be able to find out about the company’s proven solutions on the one hand and examine the brand-new LabelWatcher 360° system on the other, which will celebrate its world premiere at Interpack. CEO Dr Gerd Fuhrmann: “We are pleased to be able to welcome our customers and interested parties to our own booth at Interpack for the first time. In the past, we have already exhibited occasional systems at partner booths and were thus present. However, since Intravis has developed many new solutions for decoration control in the past few years - the IMLWatcher and the SleeveWatcher are just two examples - it was now time for our own booth.” The highl ight at the booth will be the world premiere of the new LabelWatcher 360°. Janina Orlowski, Team Leader for Product Management and Marketing at Intravis and also Product Manager for decoration inspection systems explains the system as follows: “The LabelWatcher 360° is an inspection system that has been specially designed for the quality control of round and oval products with 360° labels. The system’s hardware and software focus on defects that can typically occur during labelling with self-adhesive labels.” Thanks to a newly developed imaging as well as a a sophisticated referencing process developed specifically for the LabelWatcher 360°, unoriented objects can now be inspected just as reliably as customers are already accustomed to from previous Intravis label inspection systems, such as the LabelWatcher. In addition to the inspection of presence and identity, the LabelWatcher 360° also inspects the artwork offset of a label on the object and the correctness of the label joint. Furthermore, labels are inspected for wrinkles and bubbles, as well as print defects and contaminations. Customers also have the option of equipping their LabelWatcher 360° with code reading. With this function, barcodes, Data Matrix codes, plain text codes or QR codes can be read and compared with predefined codes. www.intravis.com INTRAVIS Hall 11 Booth B07 PET bottleto-bottle recycling To design the recycling process as efficient and energy-saving as possible has been one of the focal points in the technical development at Starlinger recycling technology for many years. The newly conceived PET bottle-to-bottle recycling system RecoStar PET art scores not only with 25% less energy consumption compared to the previous model, it also requires 46% less maintenance time, has a 21% smaller machine footprint, and a production output increase of 15%, according to Starlinger. In total, bottle-to-bottle recyclers can save about 21% in production cost with the new system. One of the main changes in the new PET recycling system is the combination of the previously two separate drying units with a residence time of around one hour each into one larger unit with a residence time of two hours. In addition, there is no vacuum degassing required anymore. Both innovations contribute to reduce energy consumption and maintenance requirements of the new line significantly, says Starlinger. www.starlinger.com STARLINGER Hall 8a Booth B66 PERFECTION DRIVES US. 50 Y E AR S ANNI VERSARY 1973 – 2023 WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF PREFORM HANDLING: www.mtannerag.ch Floor level solution, soft handling, LMKL IJ½GMIRX GSQTEGX PE]SYX 'SQTPIXI WSPYXMSR JVSQ E WMRKPI WSYVGI
