Unveils laser-based tech innovation for food and drinks container labeling
In an exciting development for the food, beverage, and life sciences sectors, several new technologies have been introduced by leading companies, promising to redefine lightweight construction, advanced variable data printing, and coding solutions.
Sidel, a renowned name in the industry, has announced plans to launch its EvoBLOW Laser system at drinktec 2025. This innovative technology is set to rewrite lightweighting for PET and rPET, aiming to revolutionize the food industry. The EvoBLOW Laser uses up to 36 heating lines for precise control over the material's thickness, enabling lightweighting even for premium bottles by creating small rings of thicker material. This design not only makes bottles feel and act stronger but also uses less overall material.
Moreover, the EvoBLOW Laser technology reduces preform waste by 50% compared to traditional solutions, contributing to a more sustainable industry. It also eliminates downtime at every stop and start, with no stand-by mode required, ensuring uninterrupted production.
Meanwhile, Domino Printing Sciences has unveiled its K300 piezo inkjet printer for advanced variable data printing in the life sciences industry. The K300 printer is designed for applications on blister foils, flexible films, medical papers, single-dose blow-fill-seal ampoules, and vials. The introduction of the K300 piezo inkjet printer and Dx-Series range of CO2 laser coders by Domino Printing Sciences is significant for the life sciences industry, as it provides advanced variable data printing capabilities.
The Dx-Series range of CO2 laser coders is aimed at providing life sciences manufacturers with end-to-end solutions for 2D codes at the individual dose and item level. This range, along with the K300 piezo inkjet printer, offers life sciences manufacturers the opportunity to codify their products with precision and efficiency.
It's worth noting that the K300 piezo inkjet printer and Dx-Series range of CO2 laser coders are not directly related to the EvoBLOW Laser technology or the lightweighting or preform waste reduction technologies discussed earlier.
Last year, Videojet Technologies unveiled its 7920 UV laser marking system, aiming to boost ease-of-use, flexibility, and reliability in various industries. This system, while not directly related to the technologies discussed above, further highlights the industry's focus on advancing technology for improved efficiency and sustainability.
The EvoBLOW Laser's live speed modulation improves efficiency by automatically adjusting the blower's speed in real-time, ensuring a seamless production process. Furthermore, the technology provides stability, guaranteeing a precise thermal profile for every preform, ensuring consistent results.
In conclusion, these new technologies represent a significant step forward in the food, beverage, and life sciences industries, offering solutions for lightweighting, advanced variable data printing, and coding that are more efficient, sustainable, and reliable than ever before. As these technologies continue to evolve, we can expect to see even more innovative solutions that will drive industry growth and sustainability.
