31 EVENT PREVIEW PETplanet Insider Vol. 26 No. 09/25 www.petpla.net Material handling technologies Italian manufacturer Vetromeccanica will showcase its latest developments in container conveying and handling technologies, targeting the beverage and liquid food industries. The company offers solutions for PET, HDPE, glass, aluminium, and tinplate containers, with a portfolio that includes elevators, lowerators, accumulating systems, dividers, dryers, and cap sterilisers. Vetromeccanica’s equipment range is designed for both bottling lines and end-of-line processes, including palletisation. Among the systems on display will be an accumulation table featuring a patented (patent pending) trolley mechanism that enables format changes without the need to replace mechanical components. Operators can switch between container formats - such as round, square, or oval - by adjusting graduated handles, aiming to streamline changeover times and reduce operational complexity. The company also introduces a compact, high-speed container divider, capable of splitting single-file container flows into multiple exit lanes at speeds up to 80,000 bph. Engineered to handle containers with challenging shapes - including square, rectangular, and oval forms - the system uses carbon fibre moving parts and linear motor technology to enhance performance. Its features are claimed to combine flexibility and high productivity. Instead of traditional passive side barriers (flat guides or roller guides), the divider uses dynamic belts that move at the same containers speed, eliminating friction and excess space between the product and the barrier and ensuring active transfer. This approach is designed to improve accuracy and stability, particularly when handling lightweight or unstable bottles. The new divider will be demonstrated as an integrated part of a setup incorporating TableTop conveyors and accumulation systems configured for two different bottle formats. www.vetromeccanica.it Vetromeccanica Hall A5 – Booth 360
