New Quaffer Shot-Tail glass
for retail
As its name suggests, the new Quaffer has introduced a
fun element to bars and clubs across Europe. Developed from
its original glass composition and manufactured in PET by
M&H Plastics, the Quaffer glass allows bars to mix various
drinks in equal measure with one floating on the top of the
other, creating a novel drinking experience and allowing the
drink to mix as it is drunk. Sales of the Quaffer have been ex-
ceptional with bars reporting up to 600% increase in sales
of drink that are suitable for the glass.
The use of PET Polymer to produce the Quaffer suits the mar-
ket well as it provides both a safe and a glass-like quality.
Using PET also allows the customer to easily clean the glass
and re-cycle when it has reached the end of its usable life.
The design of the new glass has also been developed to ac-
commodate a snap-on cap and separator plunger - enabling
a filled retail product to be marketed, whether alcohol based
or for mixed liquid condiments. A range of enticing flavour
combinations have been created to attract a range of custo-
mers including a healthy herbal energy drink.
Solutions for the plastics processing
AMUT GROUP has showed at the IFAT in Munich the range of
solutions for the plastics materials – 100% Italian technology.
Two machines would be exhibited:
1. DE-LABELLER, DLB 60 – 6000 KG/H OF PET BOTTLE CAPACITY
The De-Labeller is a dry pre-cleaning system removing full-body
shrink sleeve labels from PET bottles. After the removal phase, the
bottles still have a good integrity without damage or loosing necks.
The De-Labeller is the best solution to value bottles otherwise eli-
minated by sorting.
2.MOBILE BALLISTIC SEPARATOR - model SBS 201
Mounted on a flat-bed trailer, the mobile ballistic separator sorts packaging in three different streams: flat/light fraction (PE film),
rolling/heavy fraction (hemispherical shaped containers) and mixed
materials for rejection. Belt conveyors remove and stack selected
fractions with a folding system.
Number of paddles: 6;
Length of paddles: 4.000 mm.
AMUT is specialised to the construction of complete turn-key re-
cycling plants for PET/HDPE/PP bottles and containers and PE film,
assuring a high quality of flakes purity suitable to meet the stan-
dards for Bottle-to-Bottle and Bottle-to-Packaging applications.
