The many qualities of an oil cap
It is presented as one of the lightest, most economical and reliable caps for food oil, vinegar and sauce bottles in PET.
It is being offered by Procap under the name 29/21 Green1P, as a response to the specific needs of the bottlers serving largescale retail distribution.
With this project Procap, already leader in devising single piece closures for food oils, set itself the task of creating a lightened solution, that enables bottlers to reduce both costs as well as CO2 emissions, and has managed to come up with a closure weighing only 1.2 g. Available in a broad range of colors and printable on the top, 29/21 Green1P also presents a trump card in functional terms: the single piece body and a special strap multiply its airtightness, also on capping lines that are not regulated in an optimum manner and also when it is not put on perfectly straight. The convex profile of the fastening guarantees no leakages during the handling of the bottle, especially in the transport and storage phase, the most critical of moments.
Procap has patented an original technology that makes the two tabs for removing the tamper evident band only when the cap has been applied, that are thus made easy to grasp, even for lefthanded people. The safety of the product is ensured up until when the tamper evident band is totally removed. A lot of work has been dedicated to the ergonomics. The cap can be opened with one hand only and can be oriented at will on the neck of the bottle; the lid remains attached to the cap via a convenient hinge.
29/21 Green1P is BRC/Iop certified and produced in compliance with ISO 14001, with a proprietor procedure called Green and highly environmentally friendly.
