Reliable PET Compressor for Bottle Blowing Machines

Since 1852, we've been at the forefront of supplying air compressor for pet blowing, specifically designed to integrate seamlessly with bottle blowing machines. Our oil-free compressors are built from scratch to fulfill the demanding standards of the industry.

Challenges Faced by PET Bottle Producers

1. Environmental Issues: PET bottles can cause plastic pollution because they're often thrown away after one use. Even though PET can be recycled, not enough of it is, leading to harm to the environment. The process of making PET also adds to greenhouse gas emissions. 
2. Recycling and Material Quality: Recycling PET can lower the quality of the plastic. This means that recycled PET might not always be good enough for food containers without a lot of cleaning and processing. Also, having different colors and types of plastic together can make recycling harder and lower the quality of the recycled plastic. 
3. Energy Use: Making PET bottles, especially blow molding, uses a lot of energy. This raises the cost of making the bottles and adds to their environmental impact. Finding ways to use less energy without hurting production speed or bottle quality is a challenge. 
4. Material Costs Can Change: The price and availability of the materials to make PET, like purified terephthalic acid (PTA) and monoethylene glycol (MEG), can go up and down a lot. This can affect how cost-effective it is to make PET bottles and make it hard for manufacturers to plan their finances. 
5. Health and Safety: There's ongoing research into whether PET bottles might be harmful to health, like if they release chemicals into their contents when they get too hot. Regulatory bodies like the FDA say PET is safe, but public opinion and regulations can still affect the industry. 
6. Competition: PET bottles are up against other materials like glass, aluminum, and biodegradable plastics. Each of these has its own benefits and could be seen as more eco-friendly or better for certain drinks. The PET industry has to keep innovating to keep its place in the market. 
7. Tech Investments: New technologies and automation can improve efficiency and cut costs, but they also cost a lot to start using. Smaller manufacturers might have a hard time affording these technologies, which could put them at a disadvantage.

Complete PET Bottle Blowing Compressor System

On top of our standard PET compressors, our portfolio of products and services for the bottle blowing machine  industry also encompasses a range of additional features. They are designed to offer your factory enhanced levels of monitoring, control and cost savings, and include:

• The AirPET control system for multi-compressor networks – ensures accurate control of network pressure and effective plant management.
• Variable Speed Drives for variable capacity control, accurate and repeatable pressure control, reduced energy costs and extended component life.
• An Air Recovery System – designed to accommodate and “recycle” pressure returned from the blow moulding machines, and reduce compressor energy consumption.
• A Heat Recovery System - The cooling system can be modified to pre-heat feed water for the heating systems.
• Custom Components – a wide selection of ancillary items such as starter control panels, filters and optional cooling systems are available to suit all site conditions.
• Energy Audits – to help you reduce  compressed air energy costs and CO2 emissions at your bottle blowing plant. 

What is the PET?

Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) is the plastic used to manufacture bottles and containers for a myriad of consumer products, including carbonated soft drinks and water. PET is a thermoplastic and using it to produce bottles in the desired sizes and shapes typically involves blowing high quality air at high pressures (25 to 40 barg) into presets that shape a molding cavity. 

PET remains a popular packaging material for a variety of reasons including: 

• light weight, only about 20 grams for a 2 liter container 
• can be molded into a variety of shapes and sizes 
• gives the product contained (juices, water, carbonated beverages)  ”shelf appeal” 
• environmentally friendly and can be easily recycled 
• does not extract nor transfer flavors to the package drink 
• offers great chemical resistance 
• can be easily sterilized 
• shatter-proof
