Sidel will present its latest equipment developments as well as its recent installations of complete beer packaging lines for both glass bottles and metal cans. These projects are based on original, high-performance technologies for filling, pasteurization, labeling, end-of-line and conveying, and they are adapted to the specific needs of each of the world’s regions.
The PET Alternative
While glass bottles and metal cans dominate the market, PET bottles are proving increasingly attractive to brewers. Lightweight, clean, unbreakable, recloseable and 100% recyclable, PET also lets brewers diversify their formats – for larger-sized containers, PET is essential – and shapes. Finally, PET requires less energy during the manufacturing process.
For the past several years, Sidel has viewed PET bottles as a potential stimulus for the world beer market. The Group has contributed to their development by proposing unique solutions. The Combi, a machine that incorporates blowing, filling and capping, has been specially adapted to beer bottling, ensuring unmatched productivity. For smaller formats, Actis™ offers the only barrier treatment solution for industrial-scale production of long-life PET bottles. Finally, Sidel designs PET beer containers with highly innovative shapes, taking into account both appearance and technical constraints. Come see them at the Sidel stand.
The Sidel Group is one of the world’s leading suppliers of beverage packaging equipment. It employs 5,500 people around the world and is a division of Tetra Laval.
