there are only a few available options concerning cost reduction. one of the most promising of these is energy efficiency. the manufacturers of pet recycling systems have already achieved energy savings using case-specific tech-nological approaches. the resulting savings potential is comprehensively portrayed in product information literature and trade articles. an independent energy-based comparison of the procedures used to achieve an objective and repro-ducible measuring scheme has as yet, however, not been forthcoming. the primary aim of the project now initiated by skz is the energy-based analysis of different pet recycling processes. with this the system manufacturers will, for the first time, have access to an independent, objective data and assessment principle. it will enable each participating com-pany to classify its own process within the branch spectrum on the basis of energy usage. the detailed measuring results may also be used as a basis for further optimisation in terms of energy efficiency. in the first phase of the project, agreement is reached with all participants on the control room and the specifications for ground stock and/or pet qualities for the processes to be examined. the subsequent measurements consist of the incorporation of electrical, thermal and pneumatic energy in the industrial production cycle. one method of guaranteeing process comparability is by analysing the material samples in accordance with the agreed specifications. the assessment is individually prepared and presented for each company. the skz is inviting interested companies to join the recently launched project. www.skz.de petainer's prize-winning keg the petainer keg, a family of lightweight beverage containers manufactured in recyclable pet and designed for one-way use, has received 'obal roku 2011', the packaging award in a competition organised by syba, the czech packaging institute. the keg has also been shortlisted for a special prize to be awarded by ing. jana lukešová, the head of the competition judging panel. the winner will be announced on november 23, 2011 at packaging gala evening in prague. the obal roku award was given to the petainer keg in the 'transport and packaging technology' category. the keg is designed to be an environmentally-friendly and cost-effective alterna-tive to metal kegs for draught beverages. once empty and de-pressurised, it can be easily crushed and put into the recycling bin with other recyclable plastics containers. it is available in 15l, 20l, 30l and 40l sizes. www.petainer.com krones targets record in 2011 and increased turnover in 2012 krones ag, the global beverage filling and packag-ing technology manufacturer, has reported that its sales rose by 14.6% in the first three quarters of 2011 compared to the same period in 2010, to 1,814.2million. demand rose in all major sales regions, with the highest rates of increase in asia, south america and russia. order bookings rose by 17.0%, from 2010's 1,617.7million to 1,892.7million and order backlog at the end of septem-ber stood at 987.3m (2010: 923.2m). profitability in the period under review showed a significant improvement, reflecting market growth in the newly industrialising coun-tries. earnings before taxes (ebt) in the first nine months of 2011 rose from 47.0million in 2010 to 84.1million, making the ebt margin 4.6 % (2010: 3.0 %). krones earned 59.3million (2010: 31.9 m) from january to sep-tember. earnings per share were 1.97, against 2010's 1.05. krones' business has not, so far, been affected by the deterioration in economic prospects, in europe and the usa in particular; it is approaching its target of increasing sales by more than 10% over 2010 and exceeding 2008's record figure of around 2,381million. in order to help it achieve its medium-term targets the company has expanded its workforce, including significant hiring of skilled temporary staff. while this is expected to impact earnings in the short term, krones ag's execu-tive board anticipates that results in 2011 as a whole will show significant improvement over the preceding year, with pretax return on sales of about 5%. the company maintains that its business is not heavily dependent upon on economic cycles. it expects to increase earnings in all business segments in 2012 and to generate pre-tax total return on sales of around 7%. www.krones.com
news 7 petplanet insider vol. 12 no. 11/11 order placed for 100th khs corpoplast innopet blomax series iv stretch blow moulder a very special moment for khs corpoplast came when the contract was signed for delivery of the 100th innopet blomax series iv stretch blow moulder. the order was placed by western container corporation, usa. khs will supply an innopet blomax series iv with 24 blow sta-tions. the machine has a maximum capacity of 52,800bph. according to khs, the response to the innopet blomax series iv in the beverage industry has been extremely positive, particularly in the soft drinks, mineral water and fruit juice sectors. the popularity of these machines has continued to increase right up to the present day. reduced energy, compressed air and material consump-tion, enhanced performance and flexibility and a smaller footprint are highly impressive advantages which differentiate the innopet blomax series iv from the previous generation. a wide variety of pet bottles ranging in size from 120ml to 3l can be produced on the innopet blomax series iv which has a maximum capac-ity of 72,000bph. featuring an uncompromising modular design, the innopet blomax series iv comes with between 4 and 36 blow stations, each with a capacity of up to 2,200bph. the new heater, which uses nir (near infrared) radiation to bring the preforms up to temperature, consumes up to 25% less energy than the previous generation. moreover, the heating zone only takes up half the original space. because the stretching pro-cess on the innopet blomax series iv is controlled by servo motor, the stretching motion can now be perfectly matched to the varying speed of the filler section. as a direct benefit, the process is more stable and the scrap rate is lower. in addition, the preforms can be optimized down to the last tenth of a gram of pet material. www.khs.com kraussmaffei group brings all pet activities under netstal the definition of a pet strategy for the entire krauss-maffei group has led to the unification of its pet divisions at näfels (switzerland) and munich (germany) under the responsibility of netstal, with effect from october 1, 2011. thomas anderegg assumes the responsibility for the new business unit in addition to his existing tasks. he has been in charge of netstal's sales, marketing and applications departments with the cap, med, pac and tec business units since 2009. netstal and kraussmaffei pet products will be marketed under the names of pet-line and pet-form, respectively. www.netstal.com www.sipa.it sipa's experience and expertise in pet bottle production extends throughout the entire process to include blow moulds as well as machines. and it's all about helping the customer make a better bottle, more cost efectively. sipa produces aluminum and stainless steel moulds for any application and any shape of container (round, oval, square, complex shaped), and with a wide variety of engravings and decorations. reducing your packaging weight at the minimum. hall 7 stand 637 500 ml 8.8 g 1500 ml 21 g 2000 ml 26 g some examples of mineral water bottles in production:

regional market reports 10 petplanet insider vol. 12 no. 11/11 www.petpla.net lithuania / estonia the second and last part of our regional report on lithuania and estonia is dedicated to the reports on senderlen, estonia. and retal industries, lithuania, by alexander büchler gustav poola at the supermarket with his fresh milk pet bottle from farmi. senderlen the trailblazer stretch blow moulding bottles and then sell-ing them is what senderlen of tallinn do. the difficult thing about this business model is the fact that, as soon as the customer finds that he needs more than approximately 1/3rd of a million bottles each month, he installs his own stretch blow moulding machine at his own plant. this means that company proprietor gustav poola always has to be looking over his shoulder to make sure that new customers are coming up behind. and here he is doing spadework on behalf of the entire pet industry. first of all he builds up contacts with poten-tial companies and then tries to persuade them to change from glass, cardboard or hdpe to pet. "eight years ago i invested in the company purely as a financial invest-ment as an adjunct to my activities as an it specialist and it is only now that i realise that the spadework has proved insufficient, this is why i am now doing it myself" is what gustav has to say. meanwhile, he has been enjoy-ing increasing success and is holding discussions with a manufacturer of carrot juice who has, up to now, been using cartons for his filling operations. he is particularly pleased with his order from the milk sector; here he is now supplying 1 litre and 0.5l coloured bottles for fresh milk and other fresh dairy products to farmi and airan (www.farmi. ee, www.airan.ee). another speciality is mayonnaise in a wide necked pot. among the classic beverages bottles for reg i ona l mar ke t repor t s lithuania part 2
regional market reports 11 petplanet insider vol. 12 no. 11/11 www.petpla.net a range of naturally carbonated spring waters the "volu-vesi" brand from wisewater is one that stands out (www. wisewater.ee) in terms of its design. the squared off corner design and the 1.25l volume large bottle are especially eye-catching. senderlen's existing capacity leaves plenty of scope for further orders and gustav poola is looking at being able to supply additional bottles for bottling plants in the high season. he has set his sights on the nordic countries as his export markets. "the standard of living here is higher which also means that customers are willing to pay higher prices for their bottles" is gustav's credo. once the competitors of farmi or the carrot juice manu-facturer notice that their sales will increase more quickly than those of their competitors as a result of changing from cartons to pet bottles, they too will be queuing up on gus-tav's doorstep. www.senderlen.ee square for water, round for mayo(nnaise) and white for milk – all the pet containers come from senderlen. retal industries pellets, preforms, caps precisely three of retal's plants lie in lithu-ania: one for pet production, one for preform production and one for pet films. although all three production workshops belong to different retal subsidiaries, they nevertheless work closely together. the following is an overview of the dif-ferent retal branches and more detailed reports on the three sites in lithuania. what initially looked like a glorious hotch-potch of dif-ferent preform manufacturers in europe purchased by uniplast has developed into a powerful preform group. with the backward integration of the supply of raw materi-als, the group remained in a position to deliver even during the years of crisis. turnover in 2010 was of the order of 1.2million. production has now reached 15 billion pre-forms per year and 300,000t of pet material for preforms. around 30% of material production goes into producing their own preforms, the rest is sold outside the group. retal industries have split up what now amounts to 14 production locations into four subsidiaries, retal europe, retal cis, retal baltic and neo group (see box). giedrius viederis shows off the two extruders in the film line. recycling of interest to our readers will be the loop that has been constructed for production waste in klaipeda. this can be used for the subsequent building of a fully-fledged recycling facility which can also be employed for postcon-sumer waste. the central element is the production of pet film in retal baltic. the demands made on pet for pet ther-moforming sheets are not as high as they are for bottle material. as a result, the majority of production residues enter the films in the form of an intermediate layer. cur-rently these include the crushed film residue from their own production, punching scrap from film customers, crushed preforms from preform production and low quality pet granulate from their own pet manufacturing activities. the extruders for the film production are capable of processing up to 60% flakes without the output of 1,200kg/h giving way under the strain. if a sufficient number of pet postconsumers could be identified in the region, the company would be ready to invest in corresponding treatment plants here. alexandr grynko, new business development chief, is talking of a requirement of 15,000t before 10,000t of recyclable flakes can be achieved. in lithuania , out of an approximate 16,000t of bottles, only 3,000t have been collected up. too few to set the ball rolling. the intermediate layer is covered top and bottom with new material. "our current capacity of 6000t/a is already exhausted" says director griedrius vied-eris. they are thinking about a second plant with a capacity of 10,000t for the medium term. but even that does not mean an end to recycling. the production waste and the pet residue (which is expensive to shred) is now being processed into polyol, a component for pur manufacture, by neogroup. for this they are look-ing at 7,000t/a. so, to conclude, it is only new pet mate-rial, preforms, caps and pet films that pass through the plant gates at retal.
regional market reports 12 petplanet insider vol. 12 no. 11/11 www.petpla.net neo group neo group is the pet production line for retal indus-tries. in klaipeda it produces 308,000t of bottle material. the company started in 2007 with their first delivery of granulate. after what was generally a difficult 2008 and 2009 , the plant has now been running at full capacity since 2010. it produces primarily neopet 82 with fast reheat additive and standard material neopet 80. the plant is made up of two blocks, each of 150,000t. a third block is still being mothballed due to the former difficult economic situation and neogroup is consider-ing whether to build it up in the short term so that, from 2014, capacity can be further extended. up to 2009 the company had focussed on the big customers; now that the plant is operating at full capacity their active customer base has risen to around 100 firms. from klaipeda the neo group can, commercially speak-ing, reach pretty well any point in europe. portugal, in par-ticular, has made this possible for the lithuanians. here a competitor's plant has recently been closed. they are keen to achieve strong growth in this market which lies practically at the other end of europe. for some years now consump-tion within the eu has remained stable at around 2.9 mil-lion tonnes. although the pet sector is currently register-ing growth in the east, higher levels of consumption are not coming about. one possible reason for this, in the opinion of linas bulzgys, ceo of the neo group, is the increase in the use of the lightweight preform / bottle design. standing on the right is linas bulzgys explaining the pet plant to alexander büchler in the control room. retal europe raimundas luneckas ceo retal europe proudly showing off the new control of the genesis dryer from piovan. he is look-ing forward to energy savings of 30% as a result of this new concept. the second largest injection moulding location oper-ated by retal industries after retal dnipro is situated in lentvaris/lithuania. waiting for us there was a factory bay packed with 22 preform installations. "we have an installed capacity of 2.5 billion preforms and we actually manage up to 2.3 billion preforms each year" says technical manager janus maculskis. the company would dearly love to put more machines in there; raimundas luneckas, the ceo, is thinking about two to three additional machines. how-ever, there is unfortunately no space left for them. so the lithuanians have moved a multi-layer plant to france and installed it on the premises of their associate company, thus enabling a new husky monolayer plant to be installed. in view of their previous good experiences with piovan, this is the first plant to feature piovan's new material drying system, genesis. "we anticipate an energy consumption of 74watt/kg pet during drying, this would be around 30% less than with material dryers up to now" says raimundas and he goes on "as the plant is still under construction we cannot, however, yet confirm the value for us, but we are quite confident". the second largest injection moulding location operated by retal is situated in lentvaris/lithuania, with a capacity of 2.5 billion prefroms per year. even the crisis which shook eastern europe more significantly than other regions was unable to do much damage to the company. " i believe we were able to keep up full production, even during the period of crisis, because we in our group have our pet production with our neo group subsidiary as well and have always been able to guarantee our customers full supply capability" says janus. the supply area means pretty well any region within a radius of 2,000km, with the exception of the non-eu countries. the expansion of the retal group with the plant at merseburg in germany (see petplanet insider issue 12/10) could only enhance the success of the lithuani-ans. "the germans produce only a few different types of

"unfortunately, here in our home market of the baltics, no-one has yet jumped on to the material saving band-wagon. maybe we shall soon be seeing the lighter bottle in finland in spite of the hard tray discussion (see pp fin-land report)" is raimundas' comment. the preforms are already there anyway. retal baltic giedrius viederis (right) and alexander büchler taking a look at the new cap production facility at retal baltic making a virtue of necessity is part of the tools of the trade of every businessman. in 2003 the former owners of retal baltic built a production facility for preform installa-tions in the klaipeda freetrade zone. initially, there were two plants in operation there but these were soon moved to retal dnipro. retal then installed a kuhne pet film plant in the empty 7,000m. production hall. at 6,000t/a it is more of a smaller installation. however, plans for a further plant are already afoot. as a further refinement, there is an aluminising plant available. the remaining retal works, meanwhile, are full of injection moulding machines, with the result that once again two plants have found their way to retal baltic. this time, however, the guys from klaipeda are concentrating on cap production. the pco 28 cus-tomary in the region is fabricated using one large and one small husky plant. the moulds produce the caps in every conceivable colour. a further refinement is the availability of a 3-colour tampoprint system. " when it comes to caps the competition is disproportionately high by comparison to preforms. here we predominantly notice the manufacturers from poland. nevertheless, we are very satisfied with the start" is the verdict of director giedrius viederis. a major part of production is sold to customers of the retal europe subsidiary, but nurturing the delicate little cap plantlet has enabled it to succeed in creating its own customer base outside the existing preform contacts. the retal industries subsidiaries retal cis, collected under this heading are preform and cap pro-duction in the former cis states excluding the eu. here we visited retal dnipro, formerly uniplast (see pp 4/11)., retal russia (see pp67/06 ) and retal kasatan (see pp 10/08). a newcomer to the list of subsidiaries is retal georgia. retal europe retal has gathered together all plants in the eu under this umbrella that produce preforms and caps. there are visited retal in vilnus (see above) retal germany (see pp 12/10) retal france (see pp 12/11) , retal iberia (see pp 10/07), retal czech republic and retal italy. retal baltic pet film production. in march 2011 the company started an additional activity - production of hdpe bottle caps. neo group there is only one plant and that is in klaipeda, here the group produces 300,000t/a of bottle material and will soon be producing around 7,000t/a of polyol (see above).

bottle making 16 petplanet insider vol. 12 no. 11/11 www.petpla.net emergent technologies teams with pti to create two-compartment pet container a winning smile emergent technologies, llc*, chanhassen, minn., has teamed up with plastic technologies, inc. (pti) to com-mercialise a two-compartment pet container, called the smiler. having done extensive research, emergent saw a dual-compartment container as a way to help meet multiple consumer objectives. however, they needed to partner with a technology expert in order to transform their vision into a commercially-viable package. that's when emergent turned to pti for assistance. the driving force behind the con-cept was to give brand owners the opportunity to market a single-serving of two compatible products - such as milk and biscuits - within one port-able container, according to bill weber, president and general manager, emergent. "every time we showed the concept, people smiled and that's how we came up with the brand name. we spent a lot of time looking for ways to push pet design and processing boundaries beyond what had previ-ously been done." the proprietary smiler technology enables bottles/containers to be injec-tion blow moulded into different shapes and sizes. the larger, top compart-ment holds the liquid, while the bottom holds the snack item. additionally, both can be used for dry products and/or non-food items. the second or bottom compartment is created by drawing the base upwards which forms a small cavity into which a heat-sealed portion cup, containing solid, granular or pow-dered products, can be inserted and held by friction. the base opening can then be closed using a variety of heat-seal or pressure-sensitive materials/ methods. the top compartment relies on a traditional finish and closure. the biggest challenge was figur-ing out how to make a base cavity that was deep enough to house a second product. "we went through multiple iterations over a year-plus to make sure that both the design elements and the blow moulding process would meet performance objectives," explained scott steele, vice president, pti. for example, in early iterations, the depth of the base cavity would cause the bottle to get hung up in the mould. an additional piece of hardware had to be designed to positively extract the bottle from the mould. "on the material side of the fence, the objective was to get monolayer pet to work. we did not want to blend in additives to achieve performance attributes because that would nega-tively impact container prices, as well as have a potential negative effect on the recycling stream," steele said. "the key was determining the optimum ratios between the bottom and top cav-ities, coupled with the finish diameter." containers have already been successfully produced for promo-tional events, but emergent and pti are now looking to bring the concept

bottling / filling 20 petplanet insider vol. 12 no. 11/11 www.petpla.net sidel's one-stop line conversion service enhances bottlers' market responsiveness the conversion factor the stakes are always high in the beverage industry, whether it's about lightweighting bot-tles or launching a new product in time for the high season. new products have to reach the market at the right time and under the best conditions, in terms of both production and dis-tribution. consequently, bottlers are challenged to adapt their lines as quickly and efficiently as possible. sidel supports its customers in their efforts with centralised project manage-ment, both as an original equipment manufacturer and as a package designer. this inte-grated approach offers bottlers immediate equipment efficiency, short times to market and low costs for optimal total cost of ownership (tco). customers usually have one of three reasons for converting their bever-age packaging lines – lightweighting, format or design change, or change of the product. project management is a key factor in successfully achieving necessary line adaptations and sidel's senior project managers help bottlers to ensure optimised and secured conver-sion of their line. the managers' pro-found engineering knowledge enables them to take all industrial considerations into account in preparing the production line in advance, and in determining the exact parts that need to be adapted. this centralised project management helps bottlers to ensure that their prod-ucts are released on time. shorter necks – significant savings as raw materials account for 70-80% of a bottle's price, light-weighted preforms and caps, along with shorter necks, can lead to sub-stantial savings in weight and costs. these features deliver quick return on investment and a smaller carbon footprint, factors that are increasingly important for customers' purchase decisions. this is why more and more bottlers worldwide are adapting their lines accordingly. in 2010 french food and mineral water company danone's polish water brand, zywiec zdroj was helped by sidel to switch its lines to short necks. after a close analysis of various contractors, zywiec zdroj decided that sidel could best suit their needs for quality, reactivity and close support during implementation. the order involved two lines at its northern plant, in miroslawiec. sidel undertook to work very closely with the company during the whole process. each line was stopped for only four days for conversion to short-neck production. quick new product launch sidel does not just provide central project management for line conver-sion; it also assists customers in designing bottles for new products.

"if you fail to launch by a market's shelf review date, you can miss the full year," says helge g. valeur, chief operating officer at isklar. "in norway, the trade's shelf review date is the 1st of february. if you are late for that date, it is more difficult to get into the trade later in the year. we had a tight schedule to meet but sidel succeeded. at the end of july, isklar officially confirmed its intention to launch the new product. it was required that the first bottles were produced by december, in order for a scheduled taste panel to finalise the carbonation level of the product. that target was achieved and we were very pleased with that. we have to credit sidel for staying on the pro-ject's schedule." www.sidel.com sacmi labelling s.p.a. via dell'industria 237060 mozzecane (vr) italy tel. 39 045 6347511 - fax 39 045 6347559 firstname.lastname@example.com www.sacmilabelling.com sacmi presents its modular opera r.f.s.t. - roll fed sleeve technology: the answer to all of your labelling fexibility needs. developed around a cutting edge process, this labeler applies wrap-around thermo-shrink plastic flm labels from machine direction oriented rolls, by means of laser welding technology. following the creation and application of the sleeves within the machine, the containers travel through a heat tunnel to complete the process. this technology from sacmi is the only modular labelling machine on the world market that can accept full body/partial sleeve, rollfed, pressure sensitive, cut & stack labelling modules. it allows an inexpensive, easy and clean labelling process. the sacmi labelling opera r.f.s.t. offers fexibility, effciency, cost savings and environmental friendliness. modular opera r.f.s.t.: the all-in-one unique solution. flexibility lies in the label.
bottle making 22 petplanet insider vol. 12 no. 11/11 www.petpla.net new isbm process by cypet where injection moulding meets stretch blow moulding the cypet process is a new patented single stage injection stretch blow moulding (isbm) process to produce a wide range of pet bottles and jars. a standard injection moulding machine is converted into a pet isbm machine by adding injection and blow moulds as well as a blowing station. invention and challenges the inventor and driving force behind the cypet process is con-stantinos sideris, a former techni-cal director of the interplast/harwal group. the reason for developing such a system was the high invest-ment costs related to conventional single stage pet injection stretch blow moulding machines, especially for countries with small market sizes. this led to the idea of using a normal injection moulding machine as a base to achieve the same result at substan-tially lower investment costs two main challenges were faced during the development phase. first was the mechanical design of the blowing station, which was originally executed in a horizontal arrange-ment and later had to be changed to a vertical arrangement, for a smaller footprint, and a more practical and operator friendly operation. the second main challenge was the opti-misation of the preform design to suit the process. all challenges were faced successfully. design and process the cypet process is based on a composite injection-blow mould set, mounted in the clamping unit of a standard injection moulding machine. what makes the cypet process spe-cial is the arrangement of the injection and blow cavities in relation to each other and in relation to the machine clamping plates. the opening and closing of the clamping plates opens and closes the injection and the blow cavities simultaneously (no need for two separate clamping units). the machine's clamping force is used to keep all injection and blow cavities securely closed against both the injec-tion pressure and blowing pressure. in a typical production cycle, when the various containers produced on cypet machines
bottle making 23 petplanet insider vol. 12 no. 11/11 www.petpla.net clamping unit of the machine opens, there are ready containers in the blow moulds that are removed and there are also ready preforms, which are transferred from the injection cavi-ties to the right position in the blow cavities ready to be stretch-blown into containers in the next cycle. then the clamping unit closes and while the next set of preforms is being injected, the preforms just placed in the blow cavities are being stretch-blown into containers the cypet system can also be equipped with a (temperature) condi-tioning device between injection and stretch-blowing, with modes for round, oval and square containers. this fea-ture allows the temperature fine-tun-ing of the preforms, thus widening the processing window, especially with respect to preform design tolerances. reasons for using an "injec-tion moulding machine" the use of a standard injection moulding machine provides techni-cal advantages such as a comfortable clamping area which allows the use of two or even three rows of cavities. the clamping force of the machines is high enough to allow a higher number of cavities to be employed, even for wide mouth jars. these characteris-tics and the fact that moulds are used which do not require any duplication of mould parts (only 1 set of neck rings needed), leads to lower machine and tooling costs with the use of many cavities for higher productivity. the hot runners apply the traditional and proven design of the 2-stage process preform moulds, with the same spare parts. a fast product changeover is another feature of the cypet system. according to the company it takes only about 1 hours for a complete configuration change. the cypet machines are available in three models, k-16 (160t clamping force), k-28 (280t) and k-53 (530t), with up to 24 cavities. it is possible to produce a variety of different con-tainers on the same machine. for example, the smallest cypet machine (model k-16) can produce 120mm neck jars in one cavity or 300ml bot-tles in twelve cavities. with the two bigger cypet machines, bottles up to 30l and jars up to 145mm neck diam-eter can be produced. the cypet process is protected by patents that have been granted in the usa, canada, europe, russia, china, mexico, taiwan and israel, and patents are pending in many other countries. machines are currently in the final stages of beta testing opera-tion in the middle east and asia or under test production in cyprus. as an example, 10l bottles produced on the k-28 model with two cavities are cycling at 29s. www.cypet.eu cypet technologies is a branch of m. sideris & son ltd, established by constanti-nos sideris to develop and commercialize the cypet process.

bottle making 26 petplanet insider vol. 12 no. 11/11 www.petpla.net pet bottle light-weighting initiative offers energy and raw material savings reducing weight, increasing benefits founded over a century ago, suntory holdings ltd, produces beverages in japan and has more than a 20% share of the domestic market. in addition to a strong wine and spirits busi-ness, the company produces or markets a wide line-up of soft drinks, teas, juices, and bottled water. suntory recently launched an enterprise-wide campaign to shrink its carbon footprint. part of the sustainability strategy was aimed at light-weighting pet bottles. the benefits of this initiative range from decreased plant energy and raw material consumption to reduced carbon emissions and transportation costs. weight and performance targets pet bottles have slimmed down over the past decade. by 2010, sun-tory had already managed to trim 11g from its 2l tea bottle, from a weight of 55g to 44g, but the company wanted to achieve even further reductions. however, it takes considerable effort and expertise to develop a light-weighting program. the mandates of suntory's initiative included the need to reach aggressive light-weighting targets without compromising bottle performance criteria or the extremely stringent quality standards demanded by the japanese market. thorough investigation of available light-weight-ing tools led suntory to the process pilot automated blow moulder man-agement system manufactured by agr international. the process pilot works in con-junction with agr's petwall profiler material distribution measurement system to automate the management of blow moulding production. analys-ing the relationship between the mate-rial distribution in the container and the blow moulder, the process pilot's software algorithms and thickness measurement capabilities interact with blow moulder controls. the process pilot simultaneously manages all aspects of blow moulder operation to maintain proper thickness distribution during bottle production. on sensing changes in processing conditions - such as cooler than normal preforms or a draft of warm air, for instance - the process pilot software responds automatically to keep the blow moulder on track, making the requisite adjustments much more quickly and reliably than a human operator. three stages of testing according to japanese proto-col, new measurement equipment must undergo a thorough evaluation process before commissioning and adoption. suntory's haruna plant, which produces tea and juice filled in pet bottles manufactured on site, was designated as the test bed for the agr technology. the petwall profiler system with process pilot con-trol was installed on a khs blomax 18 series iii blowmoulder. running at 18,000bph, the line is dedicated to producing newly designed, light-weighted 2l bottles. together the two companies formulated a rigorous three-stage program to validate the new equipment. mr. toshiya kob-ayashi, deputy general manager-engineering department at suntory, described the testing regimen as "extensive". the first stage validated the accuracy of the system measure-suntory holdings ltd., japan, chose agr as a partner for their sustainability strategy. the initiative led to significant weight reductions of their 2l tea bottle
bottle making 27 petplanet insider vol. 12 no. 11/11 ments. next came testing to confirm the optimum process pilot settings. the third stage, over a longer term, compared bottles produced on the khs blomax with process pilot on and off to quantify the benefits derived from its use. accuracy validation because the process pilot control software relies on precise thickness data to operate successfully, the first step in the evaluation program was to validate the petwall profiler's measurement capabilities. suntory conducted multiple tests to compare the accu-racy of the on-line measure-ment system with traditional off-line measurements, which are typically thought to gener-ate a higher degree of accu-racy. several sets of bottle samples were taken during production runs, and on-line measurements were recorded for individual bottles in each set. the same bottles were subsequently measured by a high accuracy laboratory device. after thorough analysis of both sets of data, suntory concluded that the petwall profiler possessed the highly accurate measurement func-tionality necessary for its light-weighting initiative. blowmoulder control the second stage of test-ing evaluated the process pilot's ability to actually control the blowmoulder to maintain desired bottle thickness distribu-tion consistently over a period of time. this series of tests included varying oven settings, pre-blow pressure and timing, preform temperature, and oven ventilation with the process pilot system enabled to prove its ability to control and stabi-lise the process, regardless of changes in environmental conditions. results showed that the process pilot system quickly responded to the various control input changes and maintained the process with little variation. suntory then moved into more extensive production testing. multiple production runs were conducted, each with a different set of process pilot configuration settings, incrementally tightening the tolerances. from these, the ideal configuration was determined, resulting in an extremely stable process with little variation. confirming process pilot value utilising the blowmolder configura-tion developed during the earlier tests, the third phase of tests analysed bottles produced with and without pro-cess pilot control to assess the effects on bottle quality and performance. over several weeks, the physical bottle parameters - thickness distri-bution at critical locations, topload, and volume - were documented for bottles produced with process pilot turned off and on. bottles produced with the system showed a marked improvement in the form of reduced standard deviation of sidewall thick-ness, increased topload strength, and greater consistency in brimful volume (see figures 1 and 2). the

bottle making 33 petplanet insider vol. 12 no. 11/11 www.petpla.net narrowed process variation window and lower standard deviation assured the company that it could continue its aggressive light-weighting program while maintaining identical package performance. moving forward commenting on the process pilot a few months after its deployment, deputy general manager kobayashi listed "reduced process optimisation time at startup, improved bottle perfor-mances, reduced influence of opera-tors on blowmoulder settings, and a decrease in rejected packages" as its primary benefits. before the system was installed, bottle and preform rejects averaged about 1%/a. reject totals were reduced by 80%. the bev-erage producer has also successfully reduced the bottle weight. the 44g 2l tea bottle shed an additional 7g. its current weight is now down to just 37g, a 16% reduction. assuming resin pricing for bottle-grade pet of 1.00 per lb, the subsequent reduction works out at roughly 0.015 per bottle. with haruna's production of millions of bottles per month, the savings are considerable. equally important, the company has made the move to lighter-weight preforms with no loss in bottle performance. now that the first process pilot has been fully approved, suntory intends to extend deploy-ment to additional blowmoulding lines, bringing it increasingly closer to the light-weighting goals of its sustainabil-ity campaign. further light-weighting will produce significant savings in raw material costs as well, even more so with rising pet prices. www.agrintl.com to quantify the benefits of the agr process pilot, suntory gathered data over two 10-hour production periods, with and without the process control system enabled. the test showed that swings in the brimful volume were significantly reduced and the over-all average standard deviation was more consistent with the process pilot turned on. (courtesy of agr international) figure 1: brimful figure 2: topload when the same testing scenario was repeated to measure topload, similar results were obtained. with the process pilot enabled, suntory found more consistent topload resist-ance and lower overall standard deviation.
