BIG WIN FOR PEPSICO BOTTLER

摘要

Given blowmoulder operating speeds of 24,000 b.p.h., the six-gram reduction is saving the company approximately seven tons of resin over each 48-hour production run. This impressive weight decrease has been accomplished against a backdrop of shifting environmental conditions that add an extra layer of complexity to the blowmoulding process. Despite temperature swings of 40 degrees or more throughout the day, Line 1 at GEPP's Hermosillo plant, in the northwestern Mexico state of Sonora, turns out PET bottles that consistently hit the new light-weighted target as it operates around the clock.
