IBP DRINKTEC PREVIEW 3
ALLENGRA Hall C5 Stand 163
The future of beverage dispensing is
automated and highly precise. Allengra
will present the latest generation of its
Micro Flow Sensor, specially developed
for applications in the beverage industry.

Whether in fully automatic coffee
machines, water dispensers, beer taps,
or cocktail systems – the sensor ensures
reliable dosing, maximum hygiene, and
versatile integration options. It is a key
component for the next generation of
automated beverage systems.

With the ongoing labour shortage in
hospitality and growing expectations
regarding speed and quality,
automation in beverage dispensing
is becoming increasingly important.

The technical requirements are clear:
systems must operate with precision,
hygiene, and reliability – across a wide
range of fluids, temperature variations,
and within limited installation space.

Allengra’s Micro Flow Sensor is a
reliable and future-proof solution for
manufacturers of beverage systems,
combining technological precision with
practical design.

The sensor delivers highly accurate
flow and temperature measurements,
even at low flow rates or rapidly
changing conditions. Its ultrasonic
measuring technology enables
completely contactless operation – with
no moving parts and no direct contact
between the sensor components and
the medium. This ensures wear-free
and maintenance-free performance in a
hygienic and easy-to-clean design.

The ultrasonic technology used
enables additional features that offer
significant advantages in beverage
system automation: Air bubble
detection: Early detection of empty
containers, bottles, or lines, foam
detection: Helps ensure consistent
quality in beer dispensing, media
recognition: Differentiates between
various beverage types and viscosities
and temperature dynamics: Ultrasonic
sensing detects temperature changes in
real time. Combined with high-precision
PT1000 thermometers, this enables
dynamic and precise temperature
control – ideal for applications like
coffee preparation.

These added functionalities
enhance process control and help
prevent dispensing and mixing errors
– increasing product quality and
customer satisfaction.

The Micro Flow Sensor can be
integrated into existing beverage
systems – as a standard component or
a customised OEM version. Allengra
offers tailored developments for
customers with specific requirements
regarding installation space, geometry, or
interfaces. This makes the sensors ideal
for series production, modular platforms,
or highly automated system solutions.

PREVIEW 3
Corvaglia Hall C6, Stand 561
Corvaglia will showcase a versatile
portfolio for modern beverage
technology including innovations for
the GME 30.40 neck finish, proven
tethered caps, and the new SabreCap
for aseptic carton packaging.

Taking a step into the future of
beverage packaging, Corvaglia
has announced a comprehensive
solution portfolio tailored to the
GME 30.40 neck finish. This modular,
adaptable product line high-lights the
company’s commitment to efficiency,
design diversity, and compliance
with environmental regulations.

“Years ago, we made a consistent
move toward modern and innovative
bottle neck finishes like the GME 30.40
and developed closures that align
various customer needs with regulatory
requirements,” says Michael Krueger,
CEO of the Corvaglia group.

At the heart of this innovation is
Corvaglia’s proven modular moild
system. Developed according to the vision
of company founder Romeo Corvaglia,
the system uses clusters of four cavities,
scalable up to 96 or 128 cavities. A
standout feature is the quick switch
between tethered and non-tethered
closures via a simple slider change,
enabling rapid adaptation to evolving
market and regulatory demands.

The portfolio offers three tamper-
evident band designs: Interference Band
(classic injection moulded, for simple
and cost-effective production), adaptive
Flex-Band (injection moulded with flaps,
for easy application on filling lines) and
slitted & Folded Band (combines the best
of the previous two options).

Each variant is available in both
tethered and non-tethered versions.

All tethered models fully comply with
EU Directive 2019/904, underscoring
Corvaglia’s forward-looking
compliance strategy.

SabreCap is Corvaglia’s first closure
developed for aseptic carton packaging.

Building on over 30 years of experience
with PET bottle closures, Corvaglia
enters a new category with a product that
combines technical precision, consumer
convenience, and sustainability.

SabreCap features a cutting surface
that ensures clean perforation of
the sealing foil. This de-sign enables
effortless pouring and reduces
residue, benefiting both the consumer
experience and food waste reduction.

From a production standpoint, the
closure integrates seamlessly into
existing filling lines without re-quiring
technical modifications.

Mass production of SabreCap began
earlier this year at Corvaglia’s U.S. site
in Newnan, Georgia.

“We are proud to successfully transfer
our closure expertise from the PET
world into carton packaging. SabreCap
combines top production efficiency with
user-friendliness and sustainability
– a forward-looking solution for the
packaging industry,” said Michael
Krueger, CEO of the Corvaglia group.

Bericap Hall C6, Stand 579
BERICAP is demonstrating how
sustainability and ease of use can
be effectively combined in closure
systems at this year’s drinktec. The
manufacturer of plastic and aluminium
closures is presenting its portfolio at
the world’s number one trade fair for
the beverage and liquid food industry.

This year’s highlights include two
products with an impressive post-
launch success story, the new Monet
and Biarritz sport caps. There is also
an extended range of closure solutions
for carton packaging in the dairy and
juice segment, as well as a wide range
of aluminium and plastic closures
for wines and spirits that sets new
standards in product protection, point
of sale branding and much more.

Smurfit Westrock
Hall C1, Stand 379
In a crowded market, it is essential
that beverage brands grab consumers’
attention with innovative packaging
that is both eye-catching and
functional. The Smurfit Westrock Better Planet
Packaging (BPP) portfolio is a range of
products designed to leave no trace on
the planet, many of which are used to
substitute single-use plastic items such
as fast-food containers, shrink wrap
and multi-packs.

One example is the TopClip
packaging system, which is a sustainable
alternative for the shrink wrap that was
commonly used to bundle multipacks
of cans. It was used by leading beer
brewer Royal Grolsch to substitute the
plastic shrink wrap previously used on
their can multi-packs, has a 30% lower
carbon footprint than a shrink-wrapped
consumer pack and is 100% recyclable
and biodegradable.

Their paper-based alternative to
the polyethylene stretch wrap which
is commonly used to stabilise pallet
loads in transportation is another
solution in the Better Planet Packaging
portfolio. Encirc which manufactures
over three billion containers
annually, was the first company in
the UK to use the new paper wrap.

Smurfit Westrock also provided
PETCollar Shield Plus and machinery
to Liberty Coca-cola Beverages.

This has enabled them to replace
their plastic rings for multipacks
with a paperboard carrier.
