PROBLEM & SOLUTION APPROACH<\/h4>\n

[\/vc_column_text]

<\/span><\/div>[vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1473077474441{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”] The PIC technology is based on the assumption that the cause for the fan-like formation (see figure 1-3) can be found in the surface quality of the PET bottles which is extremely blunt when leaving the stretch blow-moulding machine. This will lead to a friction at the contact area between the bottles.<\/span><\/p>\n

Due to this fact, the PET bottles cannot rotate freely around its longitudinal axis on the following transport conveyor, causing a forced rotation (see figure 4). Blockades in transport, especially in curves, ascents and at the end of downgrades result supported by an unfavourable bottle design (see figure 5).[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″]

The following solution approach is based on the PIC: If the surface is coated with an extremely thin sliding film, the PET bottles can rotate against each other freely. The blockades are minimised and the transport of the PET bottles proceeds more smoothly.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Up to present, the preforms have already been optionally coated with a sliding film during manufacture. Steidle spraying systems have been used successfully for years for this coating process.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

MORE EFFECTIVE WITH\u00a0 PIC<\/span><\/h4>\n

[\/vc_column_text]

<\/span><\/div>[vc_column_text] Instead of using preforms with precoating, the operator of the filling device can apply this coating on his own. The Steidle spray system is mounted at the entrance of the blow moulding machine (see figure 2) and integrated in the machine control. As a result, the coating can be applied automatically on the preform according to the form of the bottle, if required. The spraying quantity can be dispensed in an extremely low quantity (some ml per hour), so that no moisture remains on the bottles, which could eventually impair labelling.

In addition, further positives effects can be expected on shrinking \/ stretching sleeves application and the separating aeras.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1473087309666{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}”]Find out more about the PIC spray system
