Why Should I Attend?

Craft Brewers Conference is a great opportunity for those in craft brewing to come, listen, and learn from expert craft brewers on various industry-related "tracks", such as Safety and Sustainability, Brewing Operations & Beer Styles, Quality and Ingredients, Export Development, and much more. Within each of these Educational Tracks, you have the chance to hear from industry experts on various topics related to your track. Below is a list of the various educational tracks featured at the show, along with details into what the track covers:

Brewing Operations & Beer Styles - In this educational track, you will gain insights into current beer styles and the techniques used to brew them, as well as ways to maximize quality and efficiency in your brewery operations, no matter the size.
Business & Leadership - For owners, managers, and leaders in the craft brewing industry, things like finance, accounting, hiring and staff motivation, and change management, are all a part of keeping your business viable. In these sessions, learn how to become a better and more effective leader in your brewery operations.
Export Development - Because the demand for high quality innovative craft beer continues to grow all over the world, this track is designed to educate U.S. craft brewers about opportunities, regulations, and best practices for marketing and selling your beer abroad.
Government Affairs & Legal - In order for small businesses to stay up to date on the rules and regulations affecting their operations, attending the Government Affairs and Legal track seminars will help you become more aware of the risks and opportunities in today's national government.
Quality & Ingredients - Quality and ingredient management is vital for on-going success in the brewing industry. Therefore, seminars in the Quality and Ingredients track are designed to help you build your own sensory and quality programs, as well as source, analyze, and properly use the highest ingredients to brew the best beer possible.
Safety & Sustainability - Creating a safe and healthy environment for your employees and customers is critical to managing and operating a successful brewery. Because of this, the Safety and Sustainability track will provide you with the resources you need to build a culture in your brewery that fosters environmental stewardship and protects your staff and equipment from harm.
Sales, Distribution, and Marketing - The seminars in the Sales, Distribution, and Marketing track will provide you with the best practices for selling beer on- and off-premise, working with retailers and distributors, and designing successful marketing strategies to help grow your brand.
Taprooms & Brewpubs - Because some of the most important issues for on-premise breweries are simply about hospitality, the Taprooms and Brewpubs track allows you to gain insight into enhancing customer experience, training taproom staff, building programs for successful events and entertainment, and maintaining customer engagement during good times and bad.
THRIVE - THRIVE is a Brewers Association (BA) initiative that takes a holistic approach to addressing diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), human resources (HR), and physical and mental wellness-related components of the workplace experience that are enriched when developed together. Experts in this track will provide informative and actionable content that improves DEI, HR, and wellness-related practices in breweries of all sizes.

Unable to Attend PACK EXPO International 2022? We've Got You Covered

Fri, 11 Nov 2022 17:54:00 GMT

From October 23rd-26th, several members of the Paxton Products team had the privilege of attending the 2022 PACK EXPO International showcase in Chicago, Illinois. With its innovative solutions for over 40 different industry sectors, PACK EXPO International is the world's most comprehensive showcase of packaging and processing technology. During the event, our team had the opportunity to network with potential customers, showcase some of its innovative packaging solutions, and even connect with other Illinois Tool Works (ITW) companies.

Event Highlights

This year, PACK EXPO International hit record-breaking attendance numbers in comparison to previous years. With over 44,200 in-person attendee registrations and over 2,200 exhibitors, the 2022 show easily surpassed the previous 2018 PACK EXPO International event in attendance. With such a large opportunity to network with other companies, the Paxton Products team took advantage of this by making the time to connect with other ITW companies. PACK EXPO International featured the following ITW companies:

Unable to Visit the Paxton Products Booth? We've got you covered!

We know just how busy events of this magnitude can be, so we understand if you were unable to stop by the Paxton Products booth at PACK EXPO International. Paxton's experienced team of Application Engineers and Sales Representatives dedicated many hours to putting together the perfect display of products to showcase at the 2022 event. From our CapDryer and CanDryer, to our Ionizing Rinsing Systems, Paxton's high efficiency air delivery devices and systems are designed to improve all your packaging and processing solutions. By eliminating the need for water rinsing and compressed air rinsing, our products will help you reduce cost and risk within your business. If you were unable to attend the event, here is a complete list of all the products featured in the Paxton Products booth:

Air Knives - Available in both aluminum and stainless steel, Paxton's air knives and air knife systems deliver maximum efficiency for drying, blow off, and air rinsing solutions. With its continuous, uninterrupted air slot design, Paxton's air knives can provide uniform coverage over the targeted surface to ensure complete drying.
CapDryer - Powered by our high efficiency PX-series centrifugal blower, Paxton's CapDryer provides complete, high efficiency drying solutions for reaching the neck and lid of bottles. With Paxton's CapDryer, you will be able to reduce false readings from vision systems, improve branding, eliminate coding quality issues due to smearing, and so much more.
CanDryer - Paxton's CanDryer is designed to thoroughly dry the tops and sides of 8 oz.-24 oz. cans by incorporating two of Paxton's air knives and six nozzles into a single manifold. Because you're able to eliminate variability due to air knife positioning, the CanDryer allows you to improve your drying processes while also enhancing usability and production floor safety!
Ionizing Rinsing Systems - Available for both bottle and can rinsing applications, the Ionizing Rinsing System effectively removes dust and other contaminants from products by combining powerful ionization with one of Paxton's high efficiency, PX-series centrifugal blowers.
Nozzle Manifold - The nozzle manifold is ideal for applications requiring a greater-than-standard distance between the air source and the targeted surface. Because our nozzle manifolds maintain thrust as far away at 18 inches, you're able to successfully target and completely dry products with multi-faceted surfaces prior to packaging, as well as conveyors with multiple item types of various shapes and sizes.
PowerDry Drying System - The PowerDry Drying System effectively shears off moisture from bottles, cans, and jars - giving a clean surface for all variations of drying and blow off applications. With Paxton's PowerDry System, you're able to reduce costs, increase line speeds, save up to 80% of your total energy consumption, and quickly adjust to changes in product types and/or container sizes.
Spyder Manifold - The spyder manifold is Paxton's most effective air delivery device for targeting the tops, sides, and under the rim of cans, bottles, and jars. Its adjustable 'spyder-like' arms can flex to target specific, hard-to-reach areas on your products.

Our team of highly skilled Application Engineers and Sales Representatives loved getting the chance to connect with all of you in-person at PACK EXPO International. If you want to get in touch with one of our team members that attended the event, reach out to sales@paxtonproducts.com for more help.
