Capping: Difference between revisions

<br>

<br>

In issue 8 [[KHS]] and [[CCT]] presented a cap with a moving liner for capping oxygen-sensitive products such as beer.

<br>

In issue 11+12 we reported that [[Bericap]] had won a  “Packaging Oscar” for their BO2S beer closure.

<br>

[[Bericap]] launches the one-piece hot fill closure in the Chinese market (issue 2). Products packed were mainly juices and energy drinks.

<br>

At PETpoint, [[Bericap]] presented the “Shorty” for beer. The door was open for anyone to submit designs for lightweight caps and neck forms. Also at PETpoint, and reported in issue 12, Romeo [[Corvaglia]] enters the discussion on lightweight caps for both still drinks and CSDs.

<br>

PETplanet and [[Sacmi]] organised the first joint cap forum with an intense discussion on the advantages and disadvantages of injection moulded and compression moulded caps in issue 11. Alcoa summed it up with the comment “it all depends…”.  In the same issue [[Bericap]] presented their Supershorty, a range of closures in line with the new 28 mm light weight neck finish ISBT standard PCO 1881 for CSD.

<br>

The first commercial application of the 1881 neck finish (Martens brewery in Belgium) was reported in issue 12.  

<br>

Romeo [[Corvaglia]] reported in issue in 2+3, that the 0.99 g cap for still water was on the market in North America. Issue 9 reported that Coca-Cola China had decided to universally adopt the PCO 1881 by the end of 2009.

<br>

Lightweight is still a hot topic: In issue 5 we report on Bericap’s new hot fill initiative, resulting in newly modified one-piece DoubleSeal 38 mm closures together with neck wall thicknesses of 2 mm – as a first step.

<br>

In issue 4 we report on the launch of a push-pull closure for hot fill packages without aluminium foil, developed by [[Bericap]] in 2010.  

<br>

A lightweight combination cap for the 1881 short neck format for both, carbonated drinks as well as still water, is close to launch ([[Corvaglia]], issue 1+2).

<br>

Following the K trade fair, PETplanet is publishing a study of the caps and closures markets to describe the state-of-the art technology, starting with issue no. 12/2013 and the developments, strategies and competitive differentiation of the companies involved in the market of suppliers of systems and moulds for the production of caps and closures.

<br>

Caps with benefits: [[ViCap Systems]] Systems launches sports caps with a dosing chamber with which consumers can freshly supplement their drinks with flavours or vitamin shots (issues 4+9).

<br>

Dispensing caps go further: an international project team from [[Hähl]] and [[Teamplast]], [[Incap]] and [[Sumitomo (SHI) Demag]] developed caps suitable for liquid additives and granules, sellable in combination with a beverage or as an independent refill product (issue 5).
