Lightweighting of PET bottle production

Georg Wolfe, Agr’s Chief Technical Officer, provided an enlightening presentation covering a practical approach to successful lightweighting of PET bottle production.  

In his presentation, delivered at the recent Packaging Conference held in Atlanta, GA, Wolfe defined a lightweighting formula for success comprised of three items:

1. 100% measurement of production bottles for material distribution

2. Hourly performance checks of key performance parameters such as top load, burst pressure and volume

3. Automated, real-time control of the blowmolding process

Mr. Wolfe explained that the theory behind this approach is based on the continual management of material distribution during bottle production.
