Pet bottle stretch blow molding with coating and filling
In high-capacity beverage production, ensuring extended product shelf life while maintaining efficiency is crucial. Conventional packaging methods using separate units for blow molding, coating, and filling can be space-consuming and expensive, often leading to increased operational complexity and costs.
Combine molding and filling for enhanced efficiency
The InnoPET FreshSafe TriBlock from KHS is a compact solution that merges stretch blow molding, glass coating, and filling capabilities into a single unit. This system significantly saves space and optimizes production efficiency by eliminating the need for extensive air conveyors and additional rinsing equipment. The ultra-thin glass coating applied inside PET bottles can extend product shelf life by 2 to 5 times, enhancing distribution capabilities. The unit can handle bottles ranging from 0.1 to 1.5 liters with a processing capacity of up to 46,000 bottles per hour depending on bottle size. This integrated approach reduces the overall footprint, minimizes operating efforts, maintains low operational costs, and supports 100% bottle-to-bottle recycling, thus ensuring high-quality product protection.
