Air recovery for H.R. process [576]

576 - Air recovery for H.R. process
After
  • Machine type Blowers Series2
  • O&U Themes Cost optimisation
    Sustainability
  • Complexity3/3
  • Machine Sub-assemblyBlowing Wheel

Description

-The amount of recovered air is linked to the type of blowers and depends also on the production conditions

        -Machine rate, number of blowing stations, preblow and blow pressure, bottle capacity

-The recovered air could be re-used to generate

        -Preblow air

        -Stretching and nozzle cylinders air

        -Low pressure air out of the machine (the blower acts as a LP compressor)

-The minimum required PCC version to install this O&U is V2.02; for prior versions, an update of the PCC is mandatory


Key message
Recover up to 60% of the air consumed for the production of hot fill bottles (Yearly avoided Green House Gas emissions - Up to 166t CO2 (*))

Machine application

Blowers S2 - PM, MM, GM, TM


Benefits

-With the air recovery option, more than half of the used air is collected and converted into preblow, service air and used to generate air for the factory

-Another criteria to consider, is the Excellent integration into machine: The settings linked to the recovery option are recorded into the process recipes

-Reduced investments, thanks to smaller air compressors

-Recover up to 60% of the air consumed for the production of heat-set bottles
