PET bottle filling machines are used in various industries from cosmetics to carbonated beverages. PET bottling machines fill molds and preforms made of polyethylene terephthalate. This material is a lightweight, clear, and strong plastic that is also 100% recyclable. It’s especially common when producing water bottles, bottles for carbonated beverages, and cosmetic bottles like lotions, creams, and powders. Every PET filling machine serves its own purpose and can’t be used for multiple jobs. For example, a plastic bottle filler for drinks can’t be used for cosmetics. This prevents contamination, illness, and other dangers.
A plastic bottle filler works by injecting a desired amount of liquid or other loose product into a PET bottle or container. These substances range from ingestible drinks to pesticides, cleaning products, and makeup. Many PET bottling machines are automatic, creating a sort of “set it and forget it” system. These machines allow for certain specifications like the size or volume of the PET bottles. Once started, the machine will automatically fill every container to the desired amount. Other functions on a PET bottling line include capping the containers, adding labels, and packaging.
Using a filling machine on a PET bottling line increases productivity and efficiency by saving time and automating the bottle-filling process. Because of this, PET filling machines are a popular investment for large-scale companies looking to cut down on production costs.
Not all PET bottling machines are created equal or perform the same functions. Smaller plastic bottle fillers and automatic filling machines are common in the beverage industry and have regulators to prevent overflow. Plastic bottle filling machines use low viscosity to effectively fill bottles with various types of fluids. Larger PET bottling machines offer these same features and also fill more bottles, more quickly, increasing efficacy even more.
