Plastic Product Manufacturing: PET Bottle Production Equipment

Today, plastic bottles will not surprise anyone. They are used almost everywhere in the food and industrial field. Naturally, you can open your own business for the manufacture of this container. To do this, you will need equipment for the production of PET bottles.

Is it worth it to open such a business?

The answer is yes. The fact is that it has certain advantages:

• Constant demand for the presented products and quick payback of the finances invested in the business.
• The low cost of the starting components, and you can recycle the raw materials (bottles already used).
• The ability to stain products.
• Environmental safety of the product (despite some harmful components that are used in the manufacture).
• Light weight products.
• Convenience: a plastic bottle is an excellent packaging material not only for drinks, but also for technical liquids. It does not break, and this reduces the costs associated with improper transportation.

What is the product made of?

Before you install equipment for the production of PET bottles, you need to understand what you will make them from. So you will need:

• polyethylene terephthalate;
• various polymers that change the structure of raw materials;
• dyes;
• other components due to which the product receives additional properties.

In addition, you have the opportunity to process secondary raw materials, which reduces the cost of production.

Necessary equipment

In order to start a business, you need to purchase the appropriate equipment. It is desirable that it be fully automated. In addition, buy devices only in certified stores that represent one or another manufacturer. In addition, the equipment manufacturer must have a good reputation.

For work you will need such devices:

1. A machine for the production of PET bottles, in which the preparation of a liquid mixture for the subsequent formation of products takes place. It is a kind of platform in which, under high pressure and high temperature, the granules of the feedstock turn into “porridge”.
2. A furnace in which preforms are heated.
3. The device with which the product is blown and its final formation.
4. Quartz lamp.
5. The apparatus, providing cooling of the finished product.
6. Device for packaging and warehousing products.

It should be noted that the PET platform can produce one type of bottle, and it can also be universal. Naturally, the latter option is much more expensive, although it provides a wider range.

Product Features

So, the production technology provides for such stages of work:

1. Sorting and dosing of the starting components. The mixture is made according to a specific recipe.
2. The formation of a homogeneous molten mass. For this purpose, a platform is used. Here, at high temperature and high pressure, the structure of the components changes.
3. The formation of the product. The machine for the production of PET bottles is responsible for this action, in which the bottles are blown in a special form. The liquid mass is evenly distributed over its walls. Note that the air pressure must be the same everywhere, because otherwise the product will be defective.
4. Mold cooling. For this, carbon dioxide or air is used.At the same stage, all flaws and defects are eliminated: recesses, smudges, etc.
5. The extraction and sorting of finished products.

That's all the features of manufacturing PET containers. Good luck
