TRENDS that's drinktec. Leading industry suppliers long have scheduled their most significant technological advances for introduction at drinktec, crowding the exhibition halls with the results of years of research and development. At drinktec 2009, hundreds of exhibiting companies are planning to debut their latest product innovations. In 2005, Krones displayed packaging equipment for virtually every beverage application, including its Smart Line, which adds mechanical synchronization of individual machines in a bloc configuration via dynamic buffers, eliminating the mutual negative feedback. Wild highlighted its Fruit Up sweetener system, which uses natural fruit, and also offered clear malt concentrate for the first time at drinktec 2005. ITW Hi-Cone introduced the "Band" package, its first new packaging concept in more than 30 years for beer sold in glass bottles—a top-lift ring carrier with a wrap-around stretch band designed for 6- and 8-packs. Announcing the commercialization of ThermoWash, Spear and Illospear presented a pressuresensitive label construction that allows returnable bottles to employ the same labeling techniques as one-way containers. And Lachenmeier announced the development of a new top stretch film unwinding system, which eliminates thin and fragile film on the corners of the stretch hood wrapped product.

There were a number of American microbrewery guys there. I don’t think I’ll miss drinktec in 2009 because I had such a good time.
