SIPA has developed light-weighting technologies for ‘hot fill” PET bottles used in the juice, tea, isotonic, and flavoured water markets.
Depending on the technology chosen, in conjunction with the bottlers filling process, bottle weight reductions of up to 30% are being achieved.
Capable of being filled at up to 90°C with modern filling equipment, Sipa can significantly reduce the weight of the traditionally heavy hot fill PET bottles.
Bottlers are said to be able to save more than $200,000 a year for every gram reduction on a filling line operating at 24,000bph on a continuous production basis.
The comany also provides PET packaging solutions for beer, liquor and other beverage sectors that were traditionally devoted to glass and metal can packaging.
