Are You Using A Reliable Chiller For PET Bottles?

PET (polyethylene terephthalate) is the most widely used packaging material utilized for carbonated drinks, medicine bottles, bottled water, condiments, cosmetics, and other products. Its advantages over other plastic packaging include its lightweight, recyclability, transparency, and application in environmental protection. These bottles are heat resistant to 70^oC, which makes them suitable for frozen drinks.

Read below to understand why high-grade chillers are important for the PET bottle industry:

PET bottles are made by a process called stretch blow molding, also known as orientation blow molding. In this process, the pellets are first injection molded, heated, and put into a mold to form a thin-walled tube of plastic, called a Preform/Parison. The Preform is then transferred to the blowing wheel, where it is inserted into blow molds and cooled to the desired dimensions by compressed air.

For PET bottle manufacturing, chillers are necessary to cool down the Preform mold, injection molding machine, PET stretch blow molding machine, and blow mold. This would ensure that the injection machine and stretch blow molding machine operate at full capacity. In the PET bottle industry, chillers need to be operated at an ambient temperature range of 5^oC TO 48^oC and a voltage of 380V/ 3Ph/60 Hz. These conditions are essential to cooling the blow mold of a stretch blow molding machine.

Common challenges faced by PET bottle manufacturers

PET bottles are widely used for single-serving and 2-litre carbonated soft drinks and water, as well as medicines. They are considered safe, non-toxic, strong, lightweight, and have the desired shape.

We understand that you need efficient chillers to retain product quality and can help you overcome these common roadblocks:

• Durability
• Retaining shape
• Cost-efficiency
• Maintaining mold temperature

Tempcon Chillers regulate temperature and water pressure for PET bottles

Tempcon chillers are consistent, reliable, and offer accurate temperature controls that ensure the shape of the PET bottles is retained. We have a wide range of chillers suited for different types of PET bottles. Our chillers integrate variable speed drive technology to deliver outstanding performance.

We offer maximum precision, accuracy, and consistency in our chillers that enable you to mold high-quality PET bottles.

Tempcon cooling units can handle voltage fluctuation, thereby promoting stabilization as per the site’s condition. The size of the main incoming cable of our chillers is designed as per the stretch blow mold machine, thus avoiding overheating. We use accurately-sized pipes that regulate the flow of chilled water throughout the manufacturing process of PET bottles, ensuring that the water in our chillers is devoid of contamination.

Our cooling systems function effectively with appropriate water quality and chiller efficiency. These chillers work best, if kept in a dust-free and well-ventilated space, along with the elimination of any risk of excessive dust entry.
