BOTTLING / FILLING 25 PET planet insider Vol. 11 No. 01+02/10 www.petpla.net System Advantages: The primary goal of the IBSS is cost reduction with a secondary goal of improved quality control. Savings can be realized in the following areas: No storage materials: no pallets, layer sheets, top frames, strapping, stretch wrapping or labelling. Savings on capital equipment: no depalletizers, unscramblers, bins, strappers, stretch wrappers, labellers or fork trucks are required. Capital investment is of course necessary to buy the IBSS but this is a one-off cost and typically has a 2-3 year payback. Labour saving: The IBSS is designed such that there are no designated, full time operators required. Typically, an existing operator in an area close to the IBSS is assigned to oversee the system in case an alarm condition requires operator intervention. Quality: Suspect bottles or production lots can be identi- fied, segregated and controlled thus preventing inferior qual- ity production from being shipped. Flexibility: The system can be designed to have total flexibility between the blow moulders and filling lines. Any blow moulder output can be diverted to any filling line on short notice. Freight savings: The system is ideally suited for on-site and “through the wall” applications. Companies that had been purchasing bottles from off site suppliers and trucking pallets to the filler have elected to produce bottles on site utilizing the Autefa IBSS. Freight and handling costs have been eliminated. The Autefa IBSS is a patented, proven system currently in service in Europe and the United States. The design and fabrication of the system is based on a modular concept thus the IBSS can be expanded as requirements change. For smaller operations a small scale system can be installed and as the business grows, additional components can be added and integrated into the system.
