Press Release Summary = JetPlate system from Air Control Industries is supplied by the company’s Australian distributor, Dynamic Engineering Australia, Perth fully meets Foster’s Australia drying and throughput requirements.
Press Release Body = New branding for the company’s ‘Carlton Cold’ beer involving a new distinctive label has resulted in Foster’s Australia Abobottsford Brewery (VIC) and Yatala Brewery (QLD) and upgrading their bottling lines to handle pressure sensitive labels.
According to Andrew Marshall, Manager Packaging Capability, this JetPlate solution, which is housed in an ACI ‘LLB’ (Low Level Blower unit) enclosure, costs a third less than the original option. “Performance, safety, space, cost and maintenance are all major considerations when evaluating a new system”, said Michael Pecar, Senior Project Engineer at Foster’s Australia.
“In each respect, the ACI JetPlate is superior to other options considered”. His colleague Geoff Gould, Packaging Engineer added that he could not understand why anybody would think about buying a longer drying system when compared to the JetPlate configuration, particularly when considering the significant price and performance differences.
ACI’s JetPlate features an air delivery system that delivers twice the volume of air than the original option considered and from a closer position. Also, the entrained air ensures all the water and spray are directed downwards to prevent possible recontamination. Further, JetPlates are simple to adjust to suit different bottle sizes with no risk of incorrect positioning and consequent inefficient drying.
