BERICAPs SVT 37.5 – a consumer oriented solution for gear oil
Wednesday 01. April 2009 - Product development discussion with FUCHS EUROPE SCHMIERSTOFFE GMBH did proof the telescopic closures being in use in the past do not fulfil the requirement of a modern closure, offering a consumer friendly handling and supporting requirements on safety at the same time.
Together the target was described the development telescopic closure system, which should allow an easy filling of gear oil, also at difficult places, for the consumer, which can be easy re-closed and stored and still should offer optimum safety features.
Based on the brief BERICAP developed a closure system consisting of 4 part, which is fulfilling the requirements and which is in line with the target set: the SVT 37.5 does offer a double tamper evidence band function using a tamper evidence band on the closure itself and furthermore the closure closing the telescopic tube is secured with bridge connecting this cap with the main closures shell. Only after breaking the bridges the telescopic pipe can be pulled out and the filling process can start after opening the smaller closure of the pipe. The combined tamper evidence functions of this closure system protects the content ideal against any manipulation.
Thanks to an integrated wipe-off system a surplus of oil on the telescopic tube can be avoided when pulling out the tube. Thus an easy filling of the gear oil also on difficult locations is granted. An integrated clinch system supports the filling process. Save and clean re-closing of the SVT 37.5 differentiate this closure system from existing other closures.
FUCHS EUROPE SCHMIERSTOFFE GMBH is using the SVT 37.5 for its high value products in Germany, France, UK and Australia.
