EDITOUR PETplanet Insider Vol. 25 No. 11/24 www.petpla.net 13 EDITOUR 13 cap mould from Corvaglia into the 300 t Netstal. It is important for Fahad to have production in-house, so he has a direct influence on the quality of the preforms and the caps. A simple example is the 100% in-line inspection of the caps by an IMD inspection system. After the inspection, he fills the caps into boxes that are actually intended for 5,000 to 6,000 caps. However, it only fills 4,000 caps so that the caps arrive at the capper virtually damage-free. The reject rate is in the sub-promille range. It all began with a small Krones plant in the original building. It quickly became clear that the concept was popular, and so Fahad ordered two new lines: a Sipa line and another Krones line, both in the 50,000 bph range. The Sipa system consists of an Xtra20 cavity rotary blow-moulding machine in a Sincro Bloc with a Sipa Flextronic 70-20 filler. This is followed by a labeller, a Dimac shrink wrapper and a Sipa PTF2 palletiser. The Krones is a blocked system with labelling between the stretch blow-moulding machine and the filler. Interestingly, both produce the same bottle and also use the same label and cap. The stretch blow moulds for the same bottle were produced by Sipa and Krones for their own lines. In the end, the quality of the filled bottle is indistinguishable whether it comes from the Sipa or Krones plant. In addition to the Krones plant, the same plant with 50,000 bottles is to be built, and the drying line has already been designed for this. The systems run 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, interrupted only by scheduled maintenance. Fahad could sell more if he produced more. He also has Dubai in mind as another market, just five hours away by lorry. www.saroojwater.com ?
