3PETplanet insider Vol. 12 No. 06/11 www.petpla.net

Due to the dominant position of two-stage conversion in PET markets, our magazine has inevitably focused on this sector. It was a deliberate policy on our part, refl ecting the interest in high volume pro-duction, the issue of cavitations, increased speeds and cycle times, all of which are the core concerns of the beverages sector.

Although PET is a staple of this sector, it is also being used increasingly in other areas, such as the cosmetics, pharmaceuti-cal and food industries. Here, however, it is the single-stage process which takes centre stage, combining injection and blow-moulding in one single unit.

We at PETplanet Insider take pride in our reputation as “the maga-zine for bottlers and bottle makers”, irrespective of whether the PET bottle is made by the single-stage or two-stage process. Recognising that some very innovative ideas are being generated by the single-stage process, we decided to take a closer look at the sector. The new applications offered by the single-stage process are bound to be of interest to all of us in the industry, whether we are bottlers, converters, machine manufacturers, and, of course, the world-wide readership of PETplanet.

Starting today, and continuing in forthcoming issues of the maga-zine, we are presenting a short series of articles focusing on the major questions raised by the single-stage and the two-stage processes. We have canvassed the views of the experts. Here is Karel Keers-maekers of Nissei ASB with the confi dent assertion that: “Single-stage is pushing the technical boundaries of bottle development.”

Some of the major players in the single-stage sector tend to avoid the public gaze, preferring a more low-key approach. Kaoru Yoshi-matsu, CEO of Aoki, is typical. When we spoke to him in Mexico some years ago, he made his view quite clear: “We would rather make mil-lions of dollars than millions of bottles.” A sly reference to the fact that specialised single-stage applications offer the potential for bigger profi t margins. Might this cause converters in the beverages sector to sit up and take notice? After all, they are constantly seeking bigger volumes and better margins.

Ever alert to the importance of keeping abreast of new develop-ments, we at PETplanet Insider have undertaken a comprehensive investigation of the single-stage market. We spoke to the major play-ers and other experts in an effort to clarify the key issues. Amongst them: which technology is most appropriate for specifi c applications? Are there any regional issues that need to be taken into account? To learn more, read our in-depth review on page 16f.

Yours,

Wolfgang von Schroeter

M&G to build next-generation PET and PTA plants in the U.S.

The M&G Group, of Tortona, Italy, has announced that it will build a next-generation technology PET plant in the United States, co-located and fully integrated with a new PTA plant at the same site. Approximately 250 jobs will be created at the plants, with an additional 700 indirect positions and 3,000 jobs during construction. PTA (puri-fi ed terephthalic acid) is the primary raw material used in the production of PET. The new PET single line plant will have a capacity of 1,000kt/a (approx 2.2 billion lbs/year) and will employ, on a larger scale, the same technology as M&G’s single-reactor Suape (Brazil) PET plant, which came on stream in Q1 2007 and has since been success-fully debottlenecked to 650 kt/a. The PTA unit will have a capacity of 1,200 kt/a (approx 2.6 billion lbs/year), and will provide full upstream integration for all of M&G’s U.S. PET capacity. The new plant will be sited in Texas, Mississippi or Louisiana. The announcement of the selected location is expected by the end of June.

Interpack 2011 refl ects upturnInterpack 2011, the trade fair for the packaging sector

and related processing industries, attracted 2,700 exhibi-tors from 60 nations, spread across 19 halls at the Düs-seldorf Trade Fair Centre from May 12 to 18, 2011. Around 166,000 trade visitors attended, of whom more than 100,000 were from outside of Germany and approaching three-quarters were decision-makers and management level. A number of exhibitors reported specifi c orders and Christian Traumann, President of interpack 2011 and Man-aging Director of exhibitor Multivac Sepp Haggenmüller, said that his company’s stand had generated 30% more contacts than at the last Interpack, in 2008. Sustainabil-ity, safety and convenience were the overriding themes at the exhibition. The ‘Save Food’ campaign, which aims to fi ght international food loss and was organised by Messe Düsseldorf in cooperation with the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) of the United Nations, was unveiled at the exhibition and attracted over 300 congress partici-pants, ranging from food producers and the packaging industry through to retailers and representatives of politics, society and non-government organisations. ‘Innovation-parc Packaging’ brought companies from across the value chain to a series of workshops covering best practices for the future. The next Interpack will take place in May 2014, at Dusseldorf.

KHS machine operating concept wins two iF awards

KHS GmbH has won both the iF prod-uct design award 2011 and the iF gold award for its new machine operating con-cept. The concept was developed in close collaboration with the Fraunhofer IAO Insti-tute. It enables both machines and entire production lines to be controlled and monitored on a single interface, rather than by many and differing graphical user interfaces (GUIs). KHS says that operator prompting uses easy-to-decipher but-tons, coloured graphics and icons, and interactive handling instructions in a plain, simple, user-friendly way, present-ing complex processes in a manner that is easy to under-stand. The multistructured layout grants access to various detailed views and operat-ing levels. The new interface also allows user profi les to be accessed with an ID card, displaying relevant data to spe-cifi c individual users. The next development planned for the operating concept is adaptation for use on mobile hand-held devices, enabling operation independent of any particular stationary workstation. Over 2,700 products from 43 differ-ent countries were entered for the iF product design award and around 1,000 of them received a prize. Nearly 900 entries were submitted for the iF communication design award 2011 from 27 countries, with the jury presenting the iF seal over 200 times. Only 30 of the prize-winning products were later given the additional iF gold award.

R&D/Leverage increases manufacturing and support capacity

Four consecutive years of double-digit growth has led R&D/Leverage – UK to expand its manufacturing capacity by 40% in 2010. Recent new busi-ness wins in the UK and continental Europe have prompted the company to install another injection stretch blow moulding machine to its Product Solu-tions Laboratory (PSL), to further increase capacity. The PSL is a building-within-a-building that offers customers training modules and the capability to provide fi rst-to-market samples. The company says that it can now qualify almost any product, including extreme shapes and extreme specifi cations, in-house. Earlier in 2011, the company added two new sales account man-agers to handle customers throughout northern and central Europe.

Gerolsteiner gets together with Strautmann

A partnership of the fi rst waterGerolsteiner has for many years enjoyed the status of a popular brand of mineral water. Gerolsteiner mineral water owes its special quality to its origins to the unique geological properties of the volcanic Eifel region. Every day up to 2.3 million glass and PET bottles are fi lled with mineral water and with natural soft drinks on a mineral water base. As a rule the recyclable PET containers are separated out after eight trips when they have to be sent for recycling. In the past the bot-tles used to be disposed of by compressing into bales, now the company is investing in fully automatic briquetting instal-lations with an automatic distribution system. The systems were installed with no interruptions to production.

One special feature of the system is the satellite distributor at the bri-quette discharge point. Up to three containers can be fi lled to a uniform level. Delivery to the handover points is a fully automatic operation featuring level scanning. The signals relating to the level to which the containers are fi lled can, if required, be transmitted directly to the container company and the haulier. Strautmann also supply distribution systems with integrated calibrated scales so as to ensure that the effective load is determined at the point of collection. The high quantities of material for compaction call for a reliable machine.

24/7 availabilityAs Gerolsteiner produce round

the clock, those responsible have decided in favour of 2 redundant devices with reduced capacity. Main-tenance and service work can there-fore be carried out during current

production and there is resulting idle time. The press is fi lled automatically via the suction unit. In addition, up to 1,000 bottles can be incorporated in a single fi ll using a tilt and turn forklift.

Decision Criteria

A number of reasons prompted Gerolsteiner to go for the Strautmann option. Servicing and maintenance are

regularly carried out by Straut-mann.

Thanks to the optimisation of inter-nal logistics there are savings of 2-3 hours in working time, as the need to use a forklift is eliminated. The line is fully automatic meaning that operation of the presses is one shift per day.

Transport costs are reduced. Finally the briquettes are highly

marketable.

Compaction of foils and cardboard packaging

Gerolsteiner also use a compart-ment baling press made by Straut-mann for disposing of foils. In this way bale weights of up to 550kg can be achieved.

Mr. Kirstgen, Manager of the Recycling Centre at Gerolsteiner, explains: “We have gone for Strautmann environmental technology (BaleTainer) when it comes to compacting our cardboard packaging as well. Because of the greater density of the bales a larger quantity of waste can be processed. It also requires fewer staff“.

As Mr. Carsten, Head of the Department of Facility Management, said, the last of the old horizontal chan-nel baling presses used for compaction of perforated PET bottles is to be replaced by a briquetting press from Strautmann.

New Glass Plant - Dis-posal of Intermediate Cardboard Layers

A tray collection device loads the inverted trays and intermediate cardboard layers automatically on to a conveyor belt with the help of underpres-sure. These are subsequently conveyed to the opening of the BaleTainer in a fully automatic operation. The generously proportioned opening of the BaleTainer enables the card-board trays to be off-loaded

directly into the BaleTainer. According to E. Kirstgen, “The compact nature of the machine has also played a decisive role – due to the comparably small dimen-sions there was nothing standing in the way of incorporation in the production plant or in the production process”.

The bales of cardboard weighing up to 550kg are also marketed directly – they go direct to the paper factory without compaction.

Parting Line Crease Part 21 of the “Rapid Guide to Perfect Preforms” *

*by Rick Unterlander and Ottmar Brandau

Troubleshooting guides have suffered in the past from being locked away in offi ces and not being available to the people that actually need them. Considering the high cost of machine and tools high scrap rates can be a costly prop-osition eating away at already tight margins.

PETplanet’s “Rapid Guide to Perfect Preforms” takes a different approach. Bound in laminated paper that is easy to clean off, the small format of the book of 108mm by 151mm (4.25” by 6”) allows easy storage in back pockets or tool boxes. It has been written for the people on the fl oor of injection moulding companies to sup-port their daily work in making the best pre-forms possible.

The product of two industry experts, Rick Unterlander and Ottmar Brandau, it gives concrete advice on 35 of the most common problems in preform manufacture, most illustrated by pictures. From high AA levels to wavy bodies processors can fi nd help when they need it. Read chapter 21 of the guide.

The Rapid Guide

to Perfect Preforms

machine no./name

Symptom:

A small radial fold appears in the preform body at the parting line between the neck insert and the cavity.

Cause:

The preform body is deformed during the initial mould open-ing sequence (core side separating from cavity side) due to the preform not releasing freely from the cavity.

Solutions:

1. Check water cooling temperature. This should be 7 – 10ºC (45 - 50ºF) for optimum cooling.2. Check water cooling fl ow to mould. This should be at the

mould manufacturer’s rating (for a given preform size and cavitation).

3. Check that the cooling time is suffi cient for the preform being moulded. This typically ranges from about 1 to 3sec depending upon the preform wall thickness. Add time if nec-essary to increase shrinkage for better release.

4. Check that the hold (packing) time isn’t excessive for the preform being moulded. Reduce as necessary to minimize swelling.

5. Check that the hold (packing) pressure isn’t too high to cause excessive swelling, especially in the last zone. Reduce as necessary.

6. Check that transition position is set to about 13% of shotsize + cushion. Lower values may result in overfi lling.

7. Check all temperature readings and correct if necessary. PET resin should be melted at about 280ºC (536ºF) +/- 10ºC (18ºF).

8. Check that all thermocouples are properly inserted and con-tacting the bottom of the wells.

9. Check that the decompression (pullback) time and position is not too little. This should be set high enough to ensure the melt pressure is being released, yet as low as possible to minimize the risk of drawing in air. Typical settings for valve gated moulds are: Time = 0 – 1sec; Distance = 0 – 10mm. Non-valve gated moulds may require higher values to mini-mize gate stringing.

With a long story in packaging engineering SIPA can support its customers on lightweight preform

development as well as preform lightweight conversions on existing mold. SIPA has developed

specific neck ring design solutions for an optimal cooling and cycle time, even in case of short preform

and neck finish conversion. SIPA provides complete preform mold for any PET system (up to 96 cav.),

cold half for existing hot half (up to 144 cav.), hot half for existing cold half (up to 96 cav.); furthermore

it provides conversions of existing mold (full or partial kits), mold spare parts and refurbishment.

All SIPA preform molds feature LongLife™, a new design engineered to extend the mold service life.

LongLife™ PET preform molds with strong focus on lightweight.

10. Check the valve gate open delay timer and increase as necessary to release preform pressure. Typical settings are 0 – 0.3sec. This adjustment must work together with decom-pression (pullback) time.

11. Check hardware for worn, damaged or failed components, specifi cally the cavities, and clogged core / cavity cooling channels.

The future of beer in PET packagingA major new study from Pira International*, The Future of Beer in PET Packaging - a multi-client study for brewers, brand owners, packaging converters and suppliers, pub-lished in May 2011, provides data on quantitative market sizes, segmented by barrier technology, bottle size, region and country. Production is expected to rise to 7.7bn bottles by 2015, led by emerging markets, but growth will be slow in most established regions. Technological developments are likely to help the growth and acceptance of PET packaging of beer. The 152-page study also provides technology and market forecasts to 2015.

Demand for PET packaging con-tinues to rise across a number of dif-ferent categories, including juices and nectars, ready-to-drink (RTD) teas, functional drinks, fl avoured waters and beer. However many brand owners continue to be reluctant to use PET packaging for beer. While it has not taken off on a large scale in many traditional beer-drinking countries, there is still a lot of interest in the potential for beer in PET and its per-ceived advantages. The emergence of new technologies is helping to challenge some negative perceptions and create opportunities for brewers, brand owners, packaging converters and suppliers.

Nick Waite, Head of Market Research at Pira International says: “PET is increasingly used for the packaging of beer sold at outdoor events in mature markets. PET is more suitable than glass here for safety reasons, more than anything, as it is unbreakable, but it is also easy to carry around. Safety and conveni-ence elements may, in time, lead to

PET bottles being used in nightclubs – although it has not made signifi cant inroads there to date.”

Global PET beer bottle consump-tion is forecast to grow during the period 2010-15 at a CAGR of 5.3%, to reach 7.7 billion bottles. Central & Eastern Europe, the dominant market for PET beer bottles, will show good growth for beer in PET going for-ward, but growth rates are expected to be lower than during the 2003-08 pre-recession era, largely because of growing market maturity and higher taxes on beer in Russia and the Ukraine.

In Asia-Pacifi c, China will lead demand for beer in PET but, here, PET beer bottle growth has generally been lower than was originally antici-pated. Western Europe is forecast to grow PET beer bottle consumption at a relatively low rate; North America and South & Central America are forecast to show growth during the period 2010-15, but from a very low base.

Nick Waite says: “Russia and other former Soviet countries are something of a special case. There was a signifi -cant reduction in glass bottle capacity in Russia at the time of Gorbachev’s anti-alcohol crusade in the 1980s and the effect was that glass bottles were reused repeatedly. The result was that glass lost some of its cachet and Rus-sian consumers were a bit more open to the idea of PET.” Home consump-tion is very much the norm in Russia, with purchases in the past being direct from breweries and packed in bulk plastic bags. Thus, switching to 1-2 litre PET bottles made perfect sense. “Consumers like the convenience of PET. The way the market has devel-oped in Russia/CIS is very different to other countries”.

Global beer in PET demand will be spurred by the growing events market, faster growth in off-trade beer sales in most countries, and developing barrier technologies. In the absence of any major new beer brands entering the market or further marketing initiatives by brewers to promote beer in PET, growth is expected to be relatively modest. Forecasts also assume that there are no further initiatives taken to favour plastic beer bottles by national or local governments in an attempt to promote ‘safe drinking’ in public places

PVS-2in line sampling preform vision system.PVS2 system comes from the need of many preform producers to carry out a continuous quality control on their production. Preforms are checked by sampling (one complete shot every x minutes) then sent to the octabins together with the other preforms. The quality control is continuous and by sampling. The PVS-2 can be connected to any type of injection moulder or used as a standalone machine for the quality lab. The system can run at the speed of 1200 preforms/hour.

According to Nick Waite: “Penetra-tion has reached something of a pla-teau in many countries and is awaiting the next major push by the brewers. India is the recipient of one such push and growth there is likely to be very strong but as for China: the jury is out right now.”

Technology Forecasts

Technological advances support the development of PET beer packag-ing but further technology gains will be required for PET to realise its full potential in the beer market. Advances in barrier technologies have paved the way for PET bottles to be used for small, single-serve beverages such as beer and wine. Monolayer blends and barrier coating technologies are taking market share from multilayer bot-tles, thanks to technology advances and more competitive costs. Further developments in oxygen scavenging and barrier coating systems are antici-pated over the next fi ve years.

Pasteurisation of PET beer bottles can pose major challenges to brew-ers. New developments for beer, such as multilayered and monolayered bottles that permit producers to pas-teurise the bottle with the beer inside and prevent oxidation, are positioned to further support the development of PET beer bottles. PET bottles can be engineered, designed, use novel processing techniques and modifi ed materials to survive pasteurisation. Nevertheless, further development of higher heat PET resin and bottles that can survive pasteurisation would be welcomed by brewers over the next fi ve years.

Better barriers for beer and beverages in PET bottles*

The Institute of Plastics Processing at RWTH Aachen Uni-versity is investigating new barrier technologies that can cope with the drive towards lighter weight bottles, as well as the growing trend to biopolymers. Among the solutions being investigated and evaluated is the use of plasma-assisted barrier coating with bias substrates.

The protection qualities and permeability of beverage packages are important criteria in choosing the right packaging material. Demands on packaging materials are not just about the goods being packed, they are greatly magnifi ed by today’s trends and developments, such as the increasing use of biopolymers and light-weighting of bottles [1, 2]. In order to meet those challenges, the German Institute of Plastics Process-ing (IKV) at RWTH Aachen University has been working for more than 20 years on the fi eld of plasma-assisted barrier coating of polymers. As well as the conception and development of processes for interior and exterior coating of beverage bottles or coating of foils and plastic components, inves-tigations have been focusing upon the development of suitable layer systems that will enhance the permeability and protection properties of plasma-poly-mer coatings.

IKV is currently involved in a process that will enhance the barrier performance of plasma-polymer layers, through the use of a substrate-bias. Studies on foils have already shown that the deposition of barrier coatings using a substrate bias leads to a sig-nifi cant increase in its barrier proper-ties because the negative effect of layer defects is reduced [3]. A plasma reactor (fi g. 1) that enables biasing of the inserted polyethylene terephthalate

(PET) bottle has recently been built and studies on this new technology are currently being undertaken. After the process has been successfully validated, attention will turn to other materials, such as polylactide (PLA).

The substrate bias’ infl uence on coating fl exibility will be evaluated, as well as coatings performance. Any possible infl uence on strain tolerance is crucial for applications such as car-bonated soft drinks, as the stresses caused by the internal bottle pres-sure may lead to a stretching or even cracking of barrier coatings, which may result in higher gas permeation. Investigations will be undertaken in order to determine the extent to which deposition of multifunctional coatings, consisting of hard and soft layers, may increase the strain tolerance of the whole composite, while maintain-ing good barrier properties.

Forschungsvereinigung Kunst-stoffverarbeitung (German Plastics Processing Research Association)research project 16306 N has been sponsored as part of the ‘indus-trielle Gemeinschaftsforschung und -entwicklung (Industrial Community Research and Development) by the Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology, pursuant to an enactment of the German federal Parliament through the AiF.

187ml single-serve bottle gains favour with American wineries

New wine in new (PET) bottlesLeading wineries in the USA are making increasing use of Amcor Rigid Plastics 187ml single-serve barrier PET bottles for their convenience, lower cost and ease of handling.

American wineries such as Fetzer, of Hopland, Calif., and Cecchetti Wine Co., of Sonoma, Calif., are increas-ingly moving to PET as a lightweight option that provides glass-like clarity, portability, sustainability advantages, and reduced cost. According to Amcor Rigid Plastics, these and other wine companies are reporting consumer acceptance of these convenient, alu-minium screw-cap bottles. The pack-ages also provide the companies with entry into public venues that do not allow glass, because of the potential for breakage. As well as the conveni-ence, a key feature is a unique barrier coating technology developed by KHS GmbH, which provides extended shelf life. The KHS Plasmax Silicon Oxide (SiOx) barrier coating seals the con-tainer from the inside to protect the contents from oxidation. Plasmax is an FDA-compliant enhanced passive bar-rier for oxygen-sensitive products. This ultra thin (less than 100nm) material is

transparent and resistant to cracking, abrasion, and delamination. Moreover, it doesn’t degrade over time nor limit the storage time for empty bottles. The barrier coating is easily removed during the recycling process and does not contaminate the recycling system.

Fetzer is the 10th-largest winery in the U.S. and also provider of co-packing services. The company bottles its entire 187ml line of white zinfandel, merlot, chardonnay, and cabernet wines in PET containers for sale at retail and chain stores. The bottles preserve the look of glass containers and run on the winery’s existing glass fi lling line, with minor adjustments. As they are one-sixth the weight of glass bottles, trans-port costs are signifi cantly reduced. Cecchetti Wine Company supplies its Redtree brand of wines to Air Canada, British Airways, and now also to Continental Airlines.

The convenience, cost advan-tages, supply chain effi ciencies and sustainability of the barrier PET bot-tles fi t well in the 187ml wine category, according to Kerry Drewry, sales man-ager for Amcor Rigid Plastics. “We expect continued growth for barrier PET containers in not only 187ml but a range of package sizes for wine,” he says. Cecchetti is also targeting retail distribution in the Midwest and will explore the viability of 1l barrier PET bottles for its wine brands. Amcor is continuing to work with other wineries seeking alternative packaging and its acquisition of Ball Plastics Packaging Americas means that the company now has full capability in-house for InnoPET Plasmax coating. PET bar-rier technology is also being targeted at other markets for oxygen-sensitive products.

Single stage conversion - How does it fi t in?

Single stage or two stage Single stage feature- part 1 by Wolfgang von Schroeter

It is estimated that 80% of PET resin converted into bottles is processed in two stage technology and 20% in single stage technology. PETplanet Insider decided to take a closer look at the 20%!

and Netstal for injection moulding, Sidel and Krones for blow moulding. The single stage market remained a domain of the Japanese, until Sipa joined in the late 1980s with mas-sive, big size, high output single stage machinery of American origin.

Single stage PET processing

PET processing in principle is the same in single-stage and two-stage: PET resin is plasticised, then injected into the preform mould and afterwards blown to make the bottle. The machinery involved: two separate machines for injecting and blowing in two-stage compared to the one single compact machine that does it all in one single stage.

Typically, the single stage process will produce 5,000 to 10,000 bph, whilst the two-stage production can give - typically and economically - 30,000 to 50,000bhp - naturally there are exceptions, but generally these fi gures are accurate in most cases. It is estimated that 80% of PET resin converted into bottles is processed in two stage technology and 20% in single stage technology. Typical single stage application are bottles for food, cosmetics including perfumes, pharmaceutical and detergents.

Variable formats in small and medium sized volume emerging markets. Engi-neering challenge: variable formats, fl exible shapes and design, integrated caps, handles and grips.

Typical two stage application are bottles for beverages, standard bottle formats, high volume and developed markets. Engineering is challenged today for better performance, higher thoughput, increased productivity, which boils down to more cavitations, shorter working cycles. The high volume beverage markets drive the two stage process. Certainly there are overlaps, i.e. applications, where both systems are used.

Gino Duca, Business Develop-ment Manager of Sipa, should know, since Sipa develops, produces and sells both single stage and two stage machinery as well, when he says: “The right solution is driven by eco-nomics and depends on the specifi c circumstances. There are a lot of cri-teria in decision making: Geography, logistics, annual volumes and require-ments, culture, issues involving ser-vice, buyer’s preferences and seller’s persuasiveness.”

Markets

Despite its dominant position two stage applications are reaching saturation point in developed markets. Machine suppliers have turned their attention to emerging markets – par-ticularly on BRIC countries – Brazil, Russia, India and China. It is realistic to assume that requirements in BRIC states will eventually also reach satu-ration.

The beginning

The single stage or stage process of moulding PET bottles from PET resin was developed simultaneously together with processing PET in two stages - in the mid-1970s .

At that time, when companies such as Cincinatti Milacron (injection moulding) and Husky (mould making) and Krupp Corpoplast (blow moulding) were experimenting with PET bottle processing in two stages with two separate moulding machines, - at the same time the fi rst single stage conver-sion – i.e. injection stretch blow mould-ing in one machine - was developed in Japan by Aoki Technical Laboratories under the umbrella of Nissei Plastics, the latter being high volume manufac-turer of injection moulding machines for general purpose application. Nissei ASB – sister company of Aoki, also under the umbrella of Nissei Plas-tics – was responsible for sales and marketing of what was developed and produced by Aoki Technical Laborato-ries at the time.

The markets of single stage and two stage machines developed sepa-rately and in parallel. In subsequent years pioneering big players entered the two stage markets such as Husky

PET conversion - that is the question!Another obstacle for greater sales

of two stage machines is that newly developed equipment has become more productive, more effective, enjoys a much longer life time on the shop fl oor and needs replacing less frequently.

Applications

The market situation of single stage PET processing is very differ-ent: single stage markets tend to be niche markets, with an abundance of PET containers in small to medium quantities, in sizes from very small to very large, in all round, rectangu-lar, oval and other shapes – a golden opportunity for the designers - , with large neck for jars and/or with and without neck.

Some distinctive single stage examples:

Champagne base or Split type conditioning blow, i.e.

stretch blow moulding polypropyl-ene narrow necked containers or

Extreme oval, by using an ovalised conditioning station component or

Deep pinch grip Front parting line Handle moulding - post-moulded

or in-moulded - and/or handle moulded on neck or

PET can with very thin upper fl ange or

Off-centre neck or Fixed neck orientation or Complex neck design/ very short

necks allowing greater fl exibility on cap design or

Long Neck Liquor Design or Zero/Minimum Support Ring etc.

With the application described single stage markets have made great advances over the years – parallel to, but in the shade of the two stage mar-kets with the eye-catching spectacle of fast cycling and record number of cavi-tations and greatly reduced cycle times.

“Inevitably, more applications will come onstream ” – as Karel Keers-maekers – Managing Director of Nissei ASB in Europe – told us: “The number of applications is increasing every year. So does the number of customers using single stage. We are continu-ously on the lookout for new applica-tions – together with our customers.”

The majority of users of single stage machines are converters, who supply the bottles ready made for fi lling. Their customers are drivers of innovative packaging – with the larg-est portfolio of creative ideas, often inspired by fashionable trends in per-fume, often inspired by extravagant promotions in cosmetics. In food the substitution of glass is in full swing – due to cost advantages with PET packaging. The same applies to the pharmaceutical sector.

Managerial and geographical considerations in the rest of the world

In Europe and US – no doubt - the special applications are the prime drivers of the single stage process.

In other areas of the world mana-gerial and logistic issues are playing into the hands of single stage, which we learned in Hangzhou/China at Wahaha, China’s largest water bottler: Why is single stage being used rather than the two stage process for Waha-ha’s multi-billion bottle production?

The directors of Wahaha – at the time of our visit – pointed to the simplicity of product management using the single stage process and mentioned transport and logistics in China, where cities are far apart . Two stage processes would require a centralised plant for manufacture of preforms. Transportation of preforms over long distances to blowing/fi lling plants around the country is costly, if not impossible due to the poor road infrastructure. For Wahaha, Sipa has developed single stage machines with an exceptionally high output.

Product management and logis-tics are vital issues in many emerg-ing markets in Asia, Africa and South America.

P&S Technology company was established in 1997. And our company is professional corporation in the manufacturing of image processing inspection machine for all of beverage and food containers.

Also, P&S is invested by The Korea Develop-ment bank, the government-funded company, and the image-processing technology as well as the total solution has been regarded by the government. The future value of investments in P&S has been very highly regarded.

Solution

Most of P&S inspection machine are connected directly to the client‘s production lines, the On-line system, which inspect without interrupting Client‘s

ejecting defective products are receiving a favorab-le evaluation from many clients.

In fact, the suppliers that provides total soluti-on for inspection machine are not so much in the world Food & Beverage market. So far, exclusive suppliers of inspection machine do not provide the perfect solution for a long time, because the rate of development and acceptance for new technology is very slow. Despite in the rapidly developing the image-processing technology, some supplier still provide the old technology beyond ten years for clients.

Concept

The inspection machines manufactured by P&S Technology are designed with the concept focus on ‚Professional & Simple‘ and both of all the hardware and software have been designed and developed by P&S its own.

The main inspection machine of P&S has done a complete inspection for Preform and PET Bottle. It has been developed an effective and economical method for Glass bottle as well as Plastic Closure, Metal Can End, Metal Can Body, Instant noodle cup, and Food container.

To design the inspection system, P&S has many solutions and alternatives for answering client‘s re-quirements and the condition of the production line. With the various models and Series, P&S provides many times optimal condition on the client‘s budget and requirements.

For example, P&S‘s Empty bottle Inspection system is mainly designed for Rotary type. It use the patented ‚mirror tracking system‘ for the bottle body inspected, this is perfect inspection system as secured many overlap sections. However, all Cli-ents are not able to equip the Rotary type, relatively expensive, so the Linear type that is suitable for the

the same time also has supplied.Most of manufacturers provide their own stan-

dard models and force for the clients to choose among their models, while P&S provides the most effective standard models as well as various models that the clients are able to choose according to their own requirements. Flexibility is the main advantage.

Powerful

On the contrary to this, the most employers of P&S are young and have fast developing skills, so we can respond quickly to client needs. P&S can provide superior technology more than other ins-pection machine supplier of long-standing in only 14 years by virtue of these young men.

Currently, P&S enter into the world market bey-ond Korea Food & Beverage market since 2005, now is exporting to eight countries, including Japan, China, Taiwan, Malaysia, Thailand, India, Myan-mar, Vietnam. Each year, approximately 20% of the exports are increasing.

P&S does not concentrate on the sales only, by training agents in each country on a regular basis,

hed, and we make preparation for a system that can respond within 24 hours.

Increased use of ISBM in homecare packaging

Enlightenment with PETProcter & Gamble’s Product Research Department (PRD) combines marketing and technical functions (includ-ing testing, functional performance, assessing store shelf impact and competitiveness) in identifying consumer needs and developing products. The design department, along with design agencies, manages development of package shapes. Packdev department is responsible for develop-ing technical solutions that can be industrialised and imple-mented with third-parties, including Sidel. Patrick Etesse, Research Fellow at Procter & Gamble’s Global Packaging & Device Development R&D group in Brussels, describes the thoughts and strategy behind the company’s increasing use of injection stretch blow moulding (ISBM) packaging.

?: What is P&G’s process for package development?

Patrick Etesse: Innovating to win with more consumers in more parts of the world more completely: pack-age development perfectly illustrates this strategy of P&G. Our Product Research Department, which com-bines marketing and technical sensi-bilities, works to understand consumer needs and develops products that meet them. Our design department focuses on the brand experience, in other words, the package and all the sensory aspects of the product and package experience. Our designers manage the development of package shapes with design agencies. The PackDev Department then translates the Design Department’s expectations into a technical solution that can be industrialized and implemented with external partners such as convert-ers or suppliers like Sidel. Last but not least, a mandatory step for any package development is its valida-tion through testing such as impact on store shelves against competitor prod-ucts, functional performance, etc.

?: Where does innovation come into this?

Patrick Etesse: The package is the fi rst and the last thing that the

consumer sees. Innovation in pack-aging is crucial, since the brand image is at stake. Innovation is now increasingly undertaken in collabora-tion with external partners, such as Sidel. Together, we develop technical solutions for packaging, such as neck indexing to show the direction to pour from. We drive outsourcing and prefer not to manufacture our own packages. We want to use innovation to meet the needs of the consumer.

?: How do you identify brand spe-cifi cs within the package?

Patrick Etesse: P&G’s packages are mostly extrusion blow-moulded (EBM) HDPE, which requires man-agement of several hundred specifi ca-tions. The company is seeking to sim-plify its processes, in order to increase productivity. One of the solutions is to switch to injection stretch blow mould-ing (ISBM). This enables different converters to use the same type of machine and standardisation of bottle specifi cations.” This means that P&G can achieve faster global roll out of new developments and to leverage its size in creating economies of scale. It has selected Sidel as its strategic technological partner and is moving to make all of its ISBM platforms Sidel compatible.

?: Is the switch to ISBM already a reality for P&G?

Patrick Etesse: “Today, P&G produces about six billion bottles per year, 80% from extruded HDPE and 20% from blown PET. We are looking to drive ISBM in the next 15 years and to increase signifi cantly the percent-age of ISBM bottles in our portfolio.” P&G believes that ISBM has the capability to deliver advantages in scale and simplifi cation but it also needs improved costs in order to fully exploit scale and capability opportuni-ties. “What interests us above all is the ISBM technology itself, and PET is the material best suited for this technology today. The ISBM process enhances the properties of plastics: the fl exural modulus is signifi cantly increased, compared with processing by extrusion, and this leads to pack-ages that are 20% lighter on average, while retaining mechanical charac-teristics and reducing both costs and environmental impact. Direct coupling is also possible, as blow moulding speeds are up to fi ve times faster than extrusion.

?: Thank you very much!

PET Bottle caps study

Of countries and cap sizes

Caps constitute the most important interface between the bottle and the consumer; caps are what determine the haptics when the customer opens the bottle and drinks the contents. In addition to this, the thread and the cap make a signifi cant contribu-tion to the overall weight of the bottle and as such pre-sent an element for consid-eration in the cooperative bottle study being carried out between PETplanet insider and KTI (Techni-cal University of Ilmenau, Department of Plastics Tech-nology). Features of the cap system covered include the type of thread, the diameter of the opening and weight and height of cover.

of bottles covered. The dominant status of PCO is universally identifi -able here. France and USA, however, show a signifi cantly higher proportion of INE threads by comparison to Ger-many. In Germany the investigation focused on discount markets; here there is the possibility of a correlation with the proportion of PCO threads (almost 90%). Plans for a supplemen-tary study into branded products are also underway with a view to produc-ing a complete picture of the German PET bottle market. A further aspect for consideration is the length of the thread, and the facility for distinguish-ing between conventional and short threads. As can be seen from Fig. 1, in order to do this we have primarily drawn on the INE and PCO Standards in the form of a classifi cation based on a tall / short representation. An overall view shows that the proportion of con-ventional threads is still signifi cantly higher than the proportion of short threads; however, short threads do make up an appreciable proportion. In Egypt many more bottles featuring a short thread are used than bottles with a conventional thread. In Ger-many there is a uniform incidence of

PCO threads set the dominating standard when it comes to the bot-tles under review (cf: Fig. 1) followed by the INE Standards. In Egypt INE caps feature even more prominently than PCO caps. A consideration of the distribution of the caps may be best undertaken by reference to the major countries such as Germany, France and the USA because these allow a statistically robust conclusion to be drawn as a result of the high number

conventional and short threads, each in the order of around 45%.

In a further consideration of the various thread standards, the weights and dimensions of the caps have also been recorded. In the following the various lid weights and heights are compared with one another on a country by country basis within the volume clusters <0.3l, 0.3l to 0.5l and 0.5l to 1.5l.

Fig. 2 illustrates cap weights in Austria, France, Egypt, Kenya, USA and the UK for bottles with a volume of up to 0.3L. One interesting factor is the relatively small height of the cap in Austria, Egypt, the USA and the UK (less than 11.5mm). These, with the exception of the USA and despite their lack of height, feature the heaviest caps at more than 3g. The USA, with a very small average cap height of 11.5mm and weigh-ing in at 2g, exhibits the light-est caps in this comparison. The highest caps in use, at almost 15mm, are to be found in Kenya and Thailand; how-ever, at approx. 2.7g, these are considerably lighter than caps from Austria and Egypt. In our study, caps with drink-ing mouthpieces have been excluded from the evaluation to avoid distorting the results.

By contrast to the cap comparisons illustrated in Figl 2, the category extending from 0.3l to 0.5l demonstrates an almost proportional rela-tionship between the height of the cap and its weight (cf: Fig 3.) Here too special caps were excluded from the study so as to avoid any distor-tion of the result. The cap weights here lie in a signifi -cantly narrower band between 2.5g and 3.3g, whilst the cap heights are between 13.3mm and 15.4mm. The caps used in Germany are the excep-tion in the analysis. Despite having the smallest average cap height in the compari-son (13.3mm), their weight was found to be only aver-age. By contrast, in Thailand

for example, a cap that is more than 1mm higher is required. In the case of South Africa, we again fi nd a devia-tion from any proportionality between the cap height and weight, albeit to a lesser extent.

Fig. 4 illustrates the comparison as described above for bottles in excess of 0.5l up to 1.5l. In this category Austria and the USA demonstrate the highest and the heaviest caps, featuring a height greater than 16mm and a weight of approx. 3.5g. Viet-nam, with a cap height of 11.3mm and a cap weight of less than 2g, lies at the other end of the scale. The other countries are grouped together in a middle sector which in turn enables a degree of proportionality between the weight of the cap and its height to be identifi ed. One exception in this category is France, where the caps, despite a relatively small cap height of 12.8mm, have a weight of 2.8g which is clearly above the weight of the German bottles (which is in any event relatively high).

Fig 5 illustrates the cap on a pre-mium water from Austria which, in addition to the design of the bottle, presents an individualised effect with ribbing and a tapered shape. Such individualisation makes it an exotic addition to the range of bottles that predominantly – with the exception of one or two ‘scene’ drinks – make use of standard caps where any attempt

at individualisation is limited to the colour of the cap.

The fl at cap illustrated in Fig 6 which is used predomi-nantly for juice comes with a particularly large opening. As well as juices this type of cap can also be used for tea/coffee mix drinks.

Fig. 7 illustrates a speci-ality among the PET bottles included in the survey - the combination of a 0.2l PET bottle in the shape of a wine bottle complete with metal cap. The thread format is typical of glass bottles with correspond-ing caps. This factor is prob-ably to be attributed to bottling processes in wineries. The machine technology for glass bottles with screw caps is already available, for example, for grape juices; by combining the same caps with PET wine bottles any additional invest-ment in machine technology can thus be avoided.

Tailor-made barrier bottles PET-Verpackungen GmbH, of Grossbreitenbach,

Germany, offers tailor-made barrier PET preforms. Most of the company’s range of preforms is available as mono or multilayer, with a choice of weights and neck finishes available. Customers can choose from a wide portfolio of barrier materials that are suitable for beer, juices, CSD, and other oxygen-sensitive products. The latest addition to the range is the750ml Karamalz a multilayer PET bottle with passive barrier. PET-Verpack-ungen have been manufacturing PET bottles for eight years and says that multilayer bottles are very suitable for tailoring the barrier element to customers’ specific requirements and to incorporate new materials.

Multilayer inspection system Intravis Vision Systems of

Germany have released a Barrier-Watcher Inspection System that is able to inspect EVOH (ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer) barrier layers for defects. EVOH creates a barrier to oxygen and carbon dioxide in food containers and is used as plastic packaging for food, medical, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic goods. Barrier-Watcher detects insufficient layer thickness by comparing monitored products to a reference object. The special EVOH cameras compare relative thicknesses and can detect small holes in the layers. Each module can have up to eight cameras and can inspect up to eight items per second. There are currently two versions of the BarrierWatcher: a laboratory system with manual handling or as an inline system integrated with an injection moulding machine. Typical parts inspected are multilayer preforms, tubes, cups or barrier closures. Intravis says that the technology is now being used by leading multi-national food and pack-aging companies.

Bericap brings beer in PET bottles to India As an oxygen-sensitive product, beer has presented particular chal-

lenges on oxygen transmission to PET bottles and their closures. In order to address these concerns, plastic closure manufacturer Bericap has devel-

oped a closure in ‘crown cork’ design, specifically for the beer market. Its DoubleSeal SuperShorty Crown O2S closure looks very similar to the traditional beer crown cork and was the first 28mm closure fitting for the PCO 1881 neck. The company equipped the closure with an oxygen scavenger, which absorbs oxygen in the bot-tle’s headspace and is claimed to ensure quality during the beer’s shelf life. The system was first introduced to

China in 2009; the company has been considering the Indian market for some time and a local brewer has now introduced one-litre PET bottles for beer, which use the Bericap closure to maintain beverage quality, even in hot climates. The first bottles are now available on the Indian market.

Light barrier technology ColorMatrix has unveiled a

light blocking technology for PET dairy bottles, named Lactra. It is an opaque white liquid technology that ensures light-blocking at low addi-tion rates. The company says that it maintains container aesthetics and that it is suitable for both single and multilayer PET containers. It provides protection from UV and visible light at wavelengths up to 550nm, which is appropriate for extending shelf life in dairy applications such as milks, yoghurts and dairy beverages. Lactra is used at an addition rate of 6-8% for light-blocking performance equivalent to the norm of 20% for other barrier additives. ColorMatrix says that this is due to its latest generation liquid carrier system, ‘CoolRun’, whose dis-persion capability enables optimisa-tion of pigment particle size, helps to ensure stable processing, consistent colour distribution and can help mini-mise AA (acetaldehyde) levels. Aes-thetic fi nishes include white matt or silk fi nish. Lactra:eXtraShield offers even higher light blocking capabili-ties. The technologies are compat-ible with any PET grade and are fully compliant with EU and FDA food contact legislation. Amosorb SolO2, another ColorMatrix PET barrier tech-nology, combines oxygen scavenging with barrier properties and provides extended product protection and longer shelf-life in oxygen-sensitive beverages, particularly beers, wines and juices. Colour can be easily added, so brand owners and convert-ers can preserve product aesthetics. Amosorb SolO2 can delay CO2 egress by up to 30 days and protect from O2 ingress for up to four months longer than PET with standard Amosorb. Amosorb SolO2 can be used with any type of PET resin and is suitable for both monolayer and multilayer PET containers.

EcoSmart chillers Piovan’s EcoSmart, launched in 2010, currently includes three lines: the CA

Series of air cooled chillers, the water-cooled CW series, and the CR series, with remote condenser. A number of structural, functional and design features con-tribute to the machines’ reliability, energy effi ciency (even with partial loads), and accurate control of temperature and other operating parameters. The screw com-pressor is driven by a frequency converter and fan speed is continuously adjusted for the actual conditions of the environment and immediate demands of produc-tion. The ‘oversized’ evaporator and condenser are designed to maintain high heat transfer rates, even when working with partial loads, and thus achieve improved effi ciency. An electronic expansion valve limits the pressure difference of the cool-ant fl uid between input and outlet and performs controls of the fl uid lamination phase, with constant adjustment of evaporation. An oil fl ow switch ensures that the compressor is always working under appropriate conditions. The EcoSmart’s Coeffi cient Of Performance (COP) fi gure is 9.43, compared to 4.31 for a standard chiller with screw compressor of the same size. At 50% load, EcoSmart’s COP actually rose, to over 10. The great effi ciency means lower energy consumption. All EcoSmart chillers have an operator intuitive interface for setting and micropro-cessor control of the operating parameters, and can also be operated by a remote control option.

High speed palletizing system End-of-line equipment for palletizing products needs

to be safe and efficient as well as fast. In the past, high-speed solutions were reserved for traditional high-level palletizers. By enhancing its existing machines and processes, Sidel claims to bring the same level of performance to low-level palletizers with its new SP 1000 HS palletizer. The new SP 1000 HS maintains steady pallets while the layers are in movement. During layer formation the machine rotates and positions the packs into a perfectly shaped layer to be transferred onto the pallet. In the following palletization phase, the layers are picked up and safely stacked onto the pallet with precision. Sidel managed to increase the speed of this process by improving the way the two steps of the process interact. The “pusher” is able to guide the layers alternatively to the right or to the left while optimizing the “return stroke” time, which, in the tradi-tional approach, is substantially an “empty” movement. The process is supported by Sidel’s software program “Pallet and Layer Automated Configuration Editor” (PLACE). It creates and manages diverse pattern con-figurations before the layer-formation phase. The soft-ware, which can be installed either on the touch screen operator panel or on a PC, is compatible with Sidel’s Robo-Smart and Axo-Smart layer-preparation systems. It automatically checks whether the pallets are suit-able and stable. Robo-Smart and Axo-Smart form and prepare the layers as the packs come off the produc-tion line onto the conveyor belts. Format changeovers regarding layer, bottles, or packs are entirely automatic and software-managed avoiding the need to stop the line. The operator simply has to choose the required format on the operator panel controls. For the second step in the palletization process, the SP 1000 HS per-mits use of either Robo-Kombi or Robo-Column which physically picks up the packs and places them on the pallets. Both solutions offer high-speed operation, easy integration with existing solutions, and versatile gripping for working with different formats, including crates, shrink-wrapped packs, loose bottles, plastic trays, empty PET bottles and others.

LitePac strappingWhile shrink-pack film is the most

commonly used form of secondary pack-aging for PET containers, it requires fossil raw materials for its manufacture and relatively high energy consumption in the shrink-on process. Krones AG has developed a resource-economical alter-native to film-wrapped shrink-packs as a complete system, including packaging and associated machinery. Krones built upon strapping technology already trialled and used in other sectors to create a new packaging design for PET containers, called Krones LitePac. The company says that it addresses market demands for secondary packaging of PET contain-ers, in eco-compatibility, resource economy, reduced energy consumption and cost savings. Krones’ newly-developed Evolite packer is made up of a container infeed module and a container strapping module. In the infeed module, contain-ers are divided into two continuous lane flows. Four strapping units then create the LitePac packs in the container-strapping module. Krones claims that cost savings of more than 50% can be achieved, through lower packaging material costs and greatly reduced energy consumption, as the system elimi-nates the shrink tunnel and an additional handle applicator. The company says that it needs fewer conveyors, a smaller footprint, a simpler line layout, a smaller storage area in both the warehouse and the supermarket, and less pallet traffic.

Baja‘Green’ PET bottles for Baja Precious olive oil

The United States imports close to 99% of its olive oil from countries such as Italy, Spain, and even Australia. However, Baja California, in Mexico, is also a source of olive oil and bottler Mexiterra, LLC, of Santa Fe Springs, California, is seeking to satisfy US consumer demand for locally-sourced fresh produce with Baja Califor-nia-grown extra virgin olive oils. The com-pany approached California-based EnVino, which manufactures plastic wine bottles for the U.S. wine and speciality foods markets, for a packaging solution that refl ected the gourmet nature of its olive oil, while delivering ‘green’ benefi ts. EnVino licenses Constar’s MonOxbar oxygen scavenging technology to use in blow-moulding bottles. It protects the delicate fl avour of Baja Precious extra virgin olive oil and extends shelf life for up to two years from date of harvest. The distinctive PET bottle includes a pouring spout that pops up when the screw cap is removed and retracts when it is replaced. The hand-harvested olives are cold-pressed within hours of harvesting, without the use of heat or chemicals. The PET bottle’s green colour, along with the MonOxbar technology, blocks UV rays and oxygen. The shatter-proof lightweight bottle requires less energy to produce than glass and is cheaper to transport. Once the contents are consumed, the BPA-free bottles can be placed in kerbside recycling bins for use in other PET products such as clothing, carpeting and tyres. The lightweight PET bottle also supports Mexiterra’s on-line sales. EnVino says that the package chosen by Mexiterra is intended for Bordeaux wines but is perfectly suited for other products that require a lightweight, shatterproof, high barrier bottle. In addition to licensing oxygen barrier materials,
