Instead of being limited to containers with par- allel or slightly curved label panels, CCL Label’s Super Stretch Sleeve (or Triple S) will allow customers to apply sleeves to bottles which could previously only be labelled with shrink sleeves. Accord- ing to CCL, the range of containers which can be labelled using stretch sleeves has opened up. The technology is a traditional stretch sleeve with a difference. Stretch sleeves offer new options The Brau provided CCL with the opportunity to present its Triple S technology. The valves incorporate standardised parts for double-seal, axial and radial seals. Krones also unveiled its new range of EvoGuard valves, which have been designed to be suitable for all commonly-used connec- tion variants in the food and beverage industries. Synchroblock can be used for soft drinks, still water and beer. Several closers can be integrated in parallel. The closer is incorporated with the filler, saving space. Containers are passed via a transfer table, with transfer starwheels and base cooling by cold water spray, to the isobaric filler, which uses pneumatically controlled Krones VKP filling valves. The rotary blow-moulding machine demonstrated at Brau Beviale was rated at 2,000 containers/hr/cavity and able to produce containers ranging from 0.1 to 3.0l. The unit is designed to reduce operating costs, energy consumption and water use, and its cleaner layout is intended to facilitate faster changeover times and lower maintenance costs. Simplified machine access allows moulds to be changed quickly and easily. It combines Kosme’s stretch blow- moulding and filling technologies and operates without air conveyors. Synchroblock is designed for production runs of up to 8,000 containers/h. 01+02/11 Blow-moulder/filler monobloc for lower output production Krones has launched a blow-moulder/filler monobloc, under the Kosme brand, aimed at lower-output or mid-tier producers.
