Optimized cleaning — only when needed
Needs-based cleaning is now often considered a foresighted concept for a new approach to cleaning. But what does this involve? How do we define the need for cleaning? Martin Löhrke, CEO of the Lübeck-based Jürgen Löhrke GmbH, provides his insights into the options already available today for meeting the requirements of individual cleaning.
Labeling Machines: Complex Technology Creates Eye-Catching Packaging
Today’s bottle labels offer much more than just information about product ingredients,from customized visually appealing representations of the brand to biodegradable packaging components. Labeling machine manufacturers need to consider both existing and future trends and requirements to meet the demands of the packaging solutions market. In this article, you’ll learn about potential innovative packaging solutions and labeling systems that can clearly represent brands and help companies retain customers.
Packaging Machines on a Clear Path to Growth and Sustainability
The global demand for packaging machines in the beverage and liquid food industry is once again increasing. Despite difficult conditions, there are good global prospects for machines and facilities that manufacture, bottle, and package beverages and liquid foods. This is how the German Mechanical Engineering Industry Association (VDMA) explained the situation in the run up to drinktec. One reason for this expected growth is that suppliers are consistently confronting the challenges of our time. For example, it is indispensible for beverage manufacturers, both today and in the future, to reduce their ecological footprint through water management, the reduction of consumable materials and overall sustainable production. In this context, the digital transformation will play a decisive role by supporting improvements in consumption and emissions data. Now more than ever, machinery manufacturers can answer the demand for more sustainable and digital production — for all global markets.
Digital trade documents
The central Cloud4Log platform which allows digital delivery notes and, potentially, all types of transport documents to be exchanged is due to be rolled out at the end of 2022. In this article, Oliver Püthe from GS1 Germany explains how the laborious handling of paper delivery notes along the supply chain could soon be a thing of the past.
Recyclable packaging: Conserving resources with eco-friendly solutions
How can different industries unite to find universal solutions that make the future more sustainable? Recyclable packaging is a solution that’s especially important within the beverages and liquid food sector. Bottle-to-bottle recycling and sustainable technologies are in high demand from producers and consumers alike, and the industry is developing exciting new approaches to get the most out of materials and reduce packaging waste.
Machine Learning: Intelligent Empty Bottle Inspectors are changing the market
Today, there’s a lot of interest in innovative cleaning systems in the beverage industry. Resource and cost-saving production processes are highly sought after. Self-learning programs are now able to use machine learning to create intelligent cleaning processes. But how does it work? And how effective are these new systems?

Sustainable cap connections in the beverage industry
Sustainability remains at the forefront of the development of glass and PET bottles, drink cartons and cans. The demands placed on packaging by consumers and legislators vary depending on material, but all fall under this overarching, dominant topic. Caps that are firmly attached to the bottle or carton (for single-use plastics), reduced use of material (lightweight glass bottles) and increased use of recycled material (rPET) are important goals, and will continue to be in future. Let’s take a look at current projects.
