KHS USA is sending out a clear signal to the North American market: at this year’s PACK EXPO, the filling and packaging specialist’s U.S. subsidiary will be showcasing its range of dynamic and innovative products. From Oct. 18 through 21, the focus will be on pioneering technologies that provide precise answers to the current ecological and economic challenges of the regional beverage industry.
One prime example of this approach is KHS’ future-proof Plasmax barrier technology. PET bottles are given a wafer-thin, glass-like interior coating that perfectly protects oxygen-sensitive products, extending their shelf lives by a factor of up to 10. Beverage producers profit from the weight benefits of PET, without having to compromise on product quality. As a result, production-line capacities can be more evenly utilized throughout the season, productivity can be increased and product loss from expired best-before dates avoided. The bottles also remain 100 per cent recyclable.
