Reliable and Efficient Concept: Air Supplies Tailored to PET Container Production

From Kaeser Compressors, Inc.
 

 
It's immediately obvious from a glance in the beverages section of any supermarket - the containers and bottles of polyethylene terephthalate, better known as PET, are competing strongly with conventional glass containers and bottles. And there's a good reason; PET offers both the beverage industry and the consumer immense advantages. Compressed air plays a central role in the production of modern packaging mediums. In this particular field of opera- tions, tailormade system solutions can increase efficiency significantly. The development of the PET market is impressive; whereas in 1998 around a milliard litres of non-alcoholic beverages were filled in PET containers, this volume has increased in the meantime to approximately 2.6 milliard litres. But there isn't even a hint of saturation yet. Market researchers reckon with an annual growth in the field of plastic in the foodstuff and beverage packaging industry of between eight and nine percent up until 2007. And the rising sales of fruit juices in PET containers will account for a strong impulse in this sector.
