Danone Turkey introduces Bericap’s HexaLite

Danone Turkey is the first location to start using the 29/25 neck finish and has modified most of its existing lines in Turkey from Hexacap 30/17 3T to HexaLite 29/11 SFB 3T.

10 Sep 2009 --- Bericap Turkey has launched the production of HexaLite 29/11 SFB 3T – the water closure suitable for lightweight neck finish 29/25 for Danone Turkey’s Hayat brand.

Danone Turkey is the first location to start using the 29/25 neck finish and has modified most of its existing lines in Turkey from Hexacap 30/17 3T to HexaLite 29/11 SFB 3T.

The still water market is the defined target for the Bericap HexaLite closures. The range consists of HexaLite 26 FB – suitable for lightweighted 26mm neck finish; and the HexaLite 29 FB – suitable for a lightweighted 30mm neck finish.

All HexaLite closures are equipped with a slit and folded safety band (flexband) for efficient TE performance, reliable and forgiving application on high-speed lines. The cost saving to convert from a 30/25 neck and closure to HexaLite 29/25 will save more than 30% of resin in the neck and closure weight.

The successful conversion of the existing 26.7mm neck and corresponding closure to the HexaLite 26 began in August 2008, predominantly in North America.
