Based on its long-term experience with closures for filling into PET, BERICAP has directed the development to lighter closures, in particular in connection with a bottleneck reduced in weight and developed a closure series for cooking/salad oil, which includes a one-part and a two-part version with different equipment features for the bottleneck diameters of 26 and 29 mm.
However, the 26/21 or the 29/21 neck is not available in all countries and thus must be imported at high costs; or: the filling companies find a universal, but low-cost PET-pre-form with standardized neck for their product portfolio.
Due to the multitude of suppliers, standardized PET-pre-forms such as e.g. used in the beverage industry, can be purchased at lower price than special oil bottles.
The bottleneck PCO 1881, which by now is being used in billions by the beverage industry all over the world, with only 3.82 g in this context is a good value alternative. So BERICAP with its new EV 28/26 has developed a press-on closure, which is suitable on a standardized pre-form both for cooking/salad oil and for sauces and syrups.
The EV 28/26 is available with different features: as standard screw-closure with special anti-drip pour-out, with and without flow regulator.
Other closures for standarized necks are in the trial phase.
BERICAP DIN-closures
In the years past, BERICAP has worked intensively on the successful development of a DIN closure family for plastic canisters. With the standard sizes DIN 42, DIN 45, DIN 51/55
