Plasmax coating technology protects sensitive beverages and liquid foods against oxidation and loss of CO2, allowing them to keep for considerably longer – plus the bottles are fully recyclable.

(Source: KHS GmbH) Anuga FoodTec: KHS systems combine efficiency with safety – New rotary InnoPET BloFill ACF-R aseptic block – Glass-coated PET bottle interiors further developed – KHS’ range of digital services extended Sensitive beverages and flexible systems and solutions – these are the topics in focus at the KHS trade show booth for this year’s Anuga FoodTec. With its new InnoPET BloFill ACF-R aseptic block the Dortmund systems supplier wants to set new standards in safety and hygiene when it comes to bottle sterilization. Visitors can also find out all about the latest generation of InnoPET Plasmax barrier technology and the first module in the digital KHS ConnectApp service. “Economic success calls for maximum efficiency and availability in all filling and packaging processes. We provide innovative and resource-saving systems and solutions that fully satisfy all aspects of this demand,” says Tobias Wetzel, CSO of KHS. The most recent example of this is the new rotary InnoPET BloFill ACF-R aseptic block that combines the energy-efficient InnoPET Blomax Series V stretch blow molder with the rotary Innofill PET ACF-R filler for the very first time. Linear fillers can process up to 14,000 bottles per hour. In contrast, the rotary aseptic block has a capacity of up to 36,000 1.0-liter bottles per hour and in the future is even to be available with a top output of 48,000 500-milliliter bottles an hour. The new plant engineering achieves a sterility of log 6 inside the bottles – which is equivalent to a reduction in germs of 99.9999%. “Our linear aseptic fillers, also blocked, have long proved themselves in practice in the filling of sensitive beverages into PET bottles, where maximum safety is of the essence. The newly developed rotary aseptic filler in the higher capacity range is thus the next logical step. With this, we also want to set standards regarding the machine’s hygienic properties,” Wetzel promises. Effective protection for sensitive beverages Here, KHS consciously focuses on bottle sterilization that – unlike preform sterilization – can also be combined with the KHS FreshSafe PET coating system and thus offers additional barrier protection for sensitive beverages. On this variant all potential germs are removed from the containers directly prior to filling. This process gives bottlers more flexibility and greater availability during format changeovers than preform sterilization, as here changing the stretch blow molds disturbs the sterile state of the block. While on the subject of barrier protection ... KHS visitors to the exhibition can also look forward to discovering the latest generation of Plasmax coating technology. With this pioneering technique a wafer-thin layer of chemically pure glass is applied to the insides of PET bottles, with bottle recyclability nevertheless fully retained. This protects sensitive products such as fruit juice, wine, beer, soft drinks, ketchup, sauces and other liquid foods from oxidation and loss of CO2, meaning that they keep for considerably longer. KHS has continuously improved this procedure over the years and now brought it up to the next level. The result is better performance, quality and flexibility and a higher degree of efficiency. Consistent expansion of the digital service portfolio In addition, the turnkey supplier’s range of digital services is now to be supplemented by KHS ConnectApp that provides two major extra benefits: 1. Data-based transparency regarding the key line performance indicators and help with decision-making processes. 2. Support with system operation. The first KHS ConnectApp function is the Guide module that with its interactive work instructions and powerful notification management system helps to ensure trouble-free workflows during inspection and maintenance or when training up new employees, for instance. Moreover, all work steps can be documented with the app. “By expanding our digital service portfolio, and especially thanks to the introduction of KHS ConnectApp, we’re laying the foundations for further optimization and efficient organization of the entire system operation and management,” explains Wetzel.

The sustainable closure seals have a recyclate content of up to 90% New HiCube® Neo turbo pumping station closed open – Applications in industry and research & development – Intuitive control – Reliability paired with energy efficiency The sustainable closure seals from Schreiner MediPharm have a recyclate content of up to 90% and offer reliable tamper evidence. © Schreiner MediPharm The new closure seals extend Schreiner MediPharm’s portfolio of security solutions: On the one hand, they are perfectly adapted to the threat scenarios of the pharmaceutical supply chain and the respective secondary packaging. On the other hand, they are environmentally friendly and ecologically sound because they not only offer high levels of functionality and tamper protection but also point the way toward sustainability in the packaging industry. Ever since the EU Falsified Medicines Directive has come into effect, tamper-proof pharmaceutical packaging has been indispensable. Security seals for secondary packaging are a proven means of first-opening indication. In addition, the planned EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) requires waste reductions, reusable packaging, and recycled materials. Schreiner MediPharm responds to those requirements with an innovative closure seal made of sustainable film material—with a recyclate content of up to 90% that already meets the currently planned PPWR targets until 2040. These targets propose a minimum content of post-consumer recycling material (PCR) in plastic film of 65% from 2040 on. Switching from conventional to sustainable upper materials made of recyclates leads to a reduction of CO2 emissions by around 28% on film level. In the product carbon footprint (PCF) analysis, emission reductions of up to 35% can be achieved. The utilization of green electricity since 2013 and the implementation of modern heat pumps at the end of 2023 have been contributing to this PCF. With the sustainable closure seals for reliable tamper evidence, Schreiner MediPharm is sending a signal for an eco-conscious and innovative future in the pharmaceutical packaging industry. Schreiner MediPharm D 85764 Oberschleissheim New HiCube 300 Neo turbo pumping station from Pfeiffer Vacuum With pumping speeds ranging from 80 to 800 l/s, the HiCube Neo vacuum pumping station is ideal for demanding high vacuum and ultra-high vacuum applications. The HiCube Neo can be prepared for wide-ranging applications with an array of different backing pumps such as diaphragm, rotary vane, scroll and multi-stage Roots pumps. This makes the new turbo pumping station perfect for applications in industry and research & development. Typical uses range from analyzing gases and calibrating vacuum gauges to pumping down cryostats and use in vacuum furnaces. The versatile HiCube Neo adapts to requirements – from a compact desktop solution to a standalone unit. Thanks to its plug-and-play concept, the HiCube Neo is ready for use straight away. As Florian Henß, Product Manager at Pfeiffer Vacuum, explains: “The HiCube Neo represents a leap forward in every respect. Its strengths lie in its advanced functions and useroriented design. The intuitively operated 7-inch touch screen, remote control via a web server and detailed data recording are just some of the features that make it exceptionally user-friendly and efficient.” Its open design facilitates maintenance and allows easier access to the components. The backing pump’s energy-efficient standby mode also reduces energy use and cuts operating costs as a result. Pfeiffer Vacuum GmbH D 35614 Asslar Impressum: cleanroom online / W.A.
