fiogf49gjkf0d Sidel, the leading global provider of PET solutions for liquid packaging, has recently developed Intelliblower technology, an innovation which brings control and self-regulation to the blow moulding process.
According to a press release issued by the company, the patented technology ensures greater accuracy in distribution of material during the production of individual bottles, with the elimination of inconsistencies resulting in improved quality, regardless of bottle weight.
The blow moulding process is becoming increasingly important as the drive for ultimate lightweighting of PET bottles within the industry continues. Poor or irregular material distribution within the production of bottles can adversely affect quality throughout the entire process and can even lead to a total shutdown of the line. Because the appearance and handling of the bottle is what ultimately affects how any brand is perceived, the company has been striving to create the highest quality and performance possible in PET bottles.
The product uses PET material optimally and cost efficiently. It is therefore able to have a higher impact on production uniformity and packaging quality, irrespective of the weight of the bottle being produced.
Self-regulating, the system automatically detects and corrects process deviations on the shape of each bottle being blown, adapting to maintain an even material distribution with only the most minor variations. This ensures that every milligram of PET is correctly allocated. With control of this level combined with the packaging expertise and process capability of the product, waste is reduced and PET lightweighting potential is possible, even with recycled material (R-PET).
