41 EVENT PREVIEW PETplanet Insider Vol. 25 No. 0/24 www.petpla.net IMDvista Factory Concept 4.0 Preform Inspection Solution 100% Inline or offline solutions Inline monitoring with short shot inspection With IMDvista NEURON AI Future-proof technology Oil-free screw + piston tandem compressors Adekom is an Asian compressor manufacturer with a focus on applications in the food and beverage industry. Its latest product line, the KSP Series, features a skidmounted, two-stage oil-free compressor system that combines a first-stage water-injected screw compressor with a second-stage oil-free piston booster. This tandem configuration is designed to deliver ISO 8573-1 Class 0 certified air at pressures at 40 bar, with flow rates ranging from 5.0 to 30.5m³/min, and is intended for continuous, round-the-clock operation. To enhance durability and operational efficiency, the system incorporates corrosion-resistant materials and relies on a water-based lubricant to absorb heat, which helps maintain lower internal temperatures. According to the manufacturer, this approach can reduce wear on components and extend maintenance intervals. All wetted components, including the screw airend casing, star wheel bracket, and system pipelines, are constructed from food-grade stainless steel. The inclusion of a permanent magnet frequency inverter allows the compressor to adjust its energy use based on real-time demand, optimising energy efficiency. The design also considers ease of maintenance. An automatic water-exchange mechanism enables the water-based lubricant to be replaced without stopping the system, helping to minimise operational interruptions. System control is handled via an integrated PLC, which provides a centralised interface for monitoring and adjustment. Additionally, the control system supports cloud-based connectivity for remote monitoring and predictive maintenance. www.adekom.com 1 billion beverage caps every year on all-electric Sumitomo (SHI) Demag will present its packaging expertise, including how its PAC-E machine supports the growing interest in all-electric solutions in the fast cycle caps and closures market. Blending the company’s high-speed and all-electric expertise, PAC-E is claimed to save packaging processors up to 50% in energy costs. Reliably producing 2,100 26/22 beverage caps every minute, the drinktec PAC-E exhibit features a 72-cavity tool from Z-Moulds. The cell also comprises a mould area dehumidification system from Eisbär and a state-of-the-art downstream line featuring an inspection camera and box packing system from IMD Vista. As stated by the company, the machine pushes the limits in producing lightweight packaging with the fastest dry cycle time and an injection speed up to 550mm/s. PAC-E is also cleaner, with a closed-loop lubrication system for producing applications with high hygiene requirements, such as food packaging and medical parts. Since its sales release, PAC-E has been widely accepted by the market and the number of installed units is rapidly growing. The customers have reported energy cost savings while maintaining the same production efficiency, says Sumitomo Demag. Currently available in 350- and 420-ton clamp force, all PAC-E machines are compatible with Sumitomo (SHI) Demag’s cross-platform, opencommunication software. www.sumitomo-shi-demag.eu Adekom Hall C6 – Booth 412 Sumitomo (SHI) Demag Hall C6 – Booth 160 The new PAC-E machine from Sumitomo (SHI) Demag has been designed to save processors up to 50% in energy costs.
