PET Technologies has implemented a new project at dairy plant in Europe
- Would you like a drink after takeoff?
- M-milk
Do you remember this scene from the movie Catch Me If You Can produced by Steven Spielberg? The dialogue is between the flight attendant and a Leonardo DiCaprio (acting as Frank Abagnale). One can hardly imagine his life without this delicious liquid dairy product.
Even at 40 000 ft milk is so desired and so delicious!
This month PET Technologies technical team has successfully carried out start-up and commissioning of automatic blow molder at the dairy plant in Eastern Europe. The customer integrated APF-6004 SBM machine within a complete filling line supplied by our partner Index-6 (Bulgaria, Europe).
The machine produces 2 bottle formats: 0,29 l and 0,9 l. The containers are made both from transparent and white opaque PET preform. Unlike the first one, the latter requires more time for heating. PET Technologies task is to guarantee the same output of blow molding machine for transparent and pigmented preforms.
APF-6004 blow molder perfectly copes with this task. The 4-cavity machine always runs with output 6000 bph and matches the filling line!
An opaque pigmented PET protects the content inside the bottle from light. Thus, milk and liquid dairy products keep the same flavor properties. White color highlights the product inside it: creamy liquid that we know since birth.
What makes the APF-6004 blow molder attractive for the dairy industry worldwide?
- Heater adapted for opaque and semi-opaque pigmented PET preforms to guarantee the output 6000 bph;
- Oriented outfeed for easy integration within a filling line of any brand;
- Quick mold change: 20 minutes are enough to switch from one bottle shape to another;
- No downtime due to easy maintenance and manuals available at customer´s language;
Automatic blow molding machine APF-6004 by PET Technologies is widely used worldwide to produce bottles for milk and various dairy products: yogurts, ayran (cold savory yogurt-based beverage of Turkic origin), plant –based dairy alternatives (oat, rice, soy etc). PET Technologies service teams in Europe, Asia, the Americas provide its smooth operation and maintenance!
