Worldwide operating manufacturer of closures Bericap presented new plastic closure ranges for a number of markets, including those withing the automobile, chemical, pharmacology, agro-chemical, and food and beverage spaces at this year's Interpack.
You need to think innovatively so as to be able to cope with the higher and higher demands on packages and in particular on the sealing breech, which, depending on the field of application, must not only close and seal the container, but also protect the content against product piracy and at the same time satisfy the high technical demands requested by the government and the authorities.
In the past, producers concentrated on reducing the closure weight, in particular for the food and beverage industry, while concentrating on cost savings and on improving the carbon footprint. The adaptation to the need of users was paid less attention to.
At Interpack, Bericap showcased a number of different types of closures, combining a desire for customer satisfaction with an optimized employment of materials. This applies in particular to stoppers for still waters, but also for products filled in aseptically and in particular for beverages filled in hot. Bericap also presented new developments for the sparkling products market.
In past years, Bericap has worked intensively on the successful development of a DIN closure family for plastic canisters. With standard sizes DIN 42, DIN 45, DIN 51/55 and DIN 60, Bericap covers more than 80% of the closure sizes used in the canister field.
The entire new DIN closure range is approved for UN-hazardous substances in connection with different canister types and/or canister suppliers.
In order to warrant product safety and quality, all closures are assembled on fully automatic and process-controlled assembly machines of the latest state of technique.
All sizes, including the childproof versions for DIN 45 and DIN 60 sizes, can be custom made and additionally equipped with a vent diaphragm and/or with an 'anti-glug system', which provides steady pouring.
The SK 42/21 SFB is a supplement to the product range of Bericap DIN closures.
This closure is equipped with a new-type, slitted strip and is available in two versions. The SK 42/21 SFB Mk has a bore-seal-system and is suitable for light canisters and containers without UN-hazardous good approval. The SK 42/21 SFB MDS is equipped with a foamed PE-seal – for containers with the relevant UN-approval.
The SK 42/21 SFB is used mainly for containers in the automotive field, for windscreen cleaners/frost protection, for professional cleaning agents, in the field of health and in the food industry.
It is a special advantage that the TE-strip, which remains on the canister after turning off of the cap, cannot drop into the engine compartment while filling the container of the windscreen washer, for example.
