Sidel: PET bottle blower

By controlling parameters of the pre-blow phase, the Sidel Intelliblower uses PET material optimally and cost efficiently, and therefore has a higher impact on production uniformity and packaging quality, irrespective of the weight of the bottle being produced.

Prior to Intelliblower, quality control for PET bottle blowing involved frequent sampling and laboratory testing of bottles. This was then followed by manual adjustments to the process. The procedure is lengthy and considerably reduces line efficiency. More importantly though, it does not completely remove the possibility that a number of bottles may still be produced outside accepted tolerances.

Self-regulating, the Intelliblower 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 Sidel Intelliblower, waste is reduced and excellent PET lightweighting potential is possible, even with recycled material (R-PET).
