72 BREWING & BEVERAGE INDUSTRIES BUSINESS IC Filling Systems will be exhibiting at drinktec once again - come and meet them on Stand C2-107 to view machinery and discuss your precise needs. You can also enter a social media competition to win a €50 Amazon Voucher. IC Filling Systems’ machines offer the option to fill and cap both bottles and cans with a single machine - all made possible with the appropriate optional attachments. 2 valve, 4 valve & 6 valve versions are available with or without rinser, and with a single or twin head crowner or single or twin head seamer. They are designed to package carbonated products such as beer, cider and carbonated soft drinks in glass bottles, PET bottles & aluminium cans. Three phases of packaging are performed on a single steel base, on lockable wheels, making the unit mobile. The new aluminium can filling and seaming option is available as a retrofit to all our existing counter-pressure filling machines by adding a stand-alone seamer (single head or twin head) and adding the change parts for the filling valves and can holding plates. Automation at up to 1,000 bottles per hour with the Economical 551 Machine The versatile 551 EPV Microblock (pictured left) is an automatic Rinser Filler and Crowner, which is in use across the world. One of the most important factors that helped companies choose IC Filling Systems bottling technology is its 'Y'. The innovative 'Y' shaped layout of the conveyors designs feeding in and out of the 551 EPV Microblock allow for inline labelling, bottle feeding and unloading all to be undertaken by a single operator, enabling production of carbonated products at up to 1,000 bottles per hour, based on a 330ml bottle size. “Exhibitions are about making new connections and putting faces to names, as much as about seeing new equipment and innovations.” says Marco Solferini, Sales Director at IC Filling Systems. “So as well as showcasing our products designed for microbreweries in Munich this September, we're livening things up for our visitors with a competition to win a €50 Amazon Voucher for the best video or photograph of our stand shared on social media.” To enter the competition, just take a photo or video of the company’s stand and share with the hashtag #FillingSystems on Twitter, Facebook or LinkedIn. A winner will be drawn on the 15th of September 2017, and the voucher will be emailed to the lucky winner.

The HopInspiration® story begins with the selection of the highest quality hop cones from around the world. Using new extraction technologies, Totally Natural Solutions then captures the flavour and aroma rich hop oils contained in these hops. Highly complex, and containing over 1,000 different components, these volatile oils are very easily lost in the traditional brewing process. They are however essential to the individual hop character of each and every beer. Without the use of solvents, or flavour boosting chemicals, the key hop oil components are then separated to produce a range of easy to use liquid hop extracts. HopInspiration® allows natural hop flavours and aromas to be added independently and consistently to beer and other beverages. The products are designed to ensure flavour consistency and to deliver a hop aroma in a convenient and reproducible way. They offer a natural and a practical solution for the brewer’s needs; improving efficiency and giving cost savings but most importantly in making great beer with real hop impact. Made with only premium hop oil, the company offers flavour fractions for specific flavour notes, “late hop” and “dry hop” products from the named hop varieties and unique blends of hops suited to particular beer styles. Bittering extracts, blends of hops with other natural flavours and specialist natural botanical extracts for brewing applications are also available. The business operates from Kent, in the UK, but has distribution globally through a network of partners. www.totallynaturalsolutions.com For more information visit: 72_Layout 1 13/08/2017 17:38 Page 1
