Plastic closures manufacturer Bericap will introduce its tried-and-tested closure systems at Drinktec taking place from 16-20 September 2013 in Munich, Germany.
Bericap will exhibit its 33mm closures for hot fillings available in the versions flat screw closure and 'PushPull sport closure'. The product does not require any aluminum sealing foil for safe sealing.
Both versions have the DoubleSeal system, which guarantees a leakproof product and, through an inner and outer sealing lip, stabilizes the bottleneck during the hot filling process.
The DoubleSeal 33mm is equipped with a cut and folded slit band that breaks the first time when the opening of bottle takes place.
Bottles with the new closure differ in terms of their appearance on the shelf from the conventional beverage products with large closures.
The company will also introduce its new three-piece PUSH PULL sport closures that are said to be suited for consumption when on the move, when travelling or when doing sport. They have a flow rate of about 30% higher than that of conventional products.
Claimed to be suitable for wet and dry sterilization processes, the 38mm sports closure has so far been used for aseptic fillings.
At the Drinktec show, Bericap will also present a new HexaLite closure that fits the PET 29/25 neck. The closure will be introduced in the UK market by the end of 2013.
Bericap will also introduce its new dispensing valve BericapValve, which is manufactured from TPE material and prevents contamination of the PET recycling stream.
The product is at present used for applications such as ketchups, chocolate sauces, products containing pieces and bodycare products.
