BOTTLING / FILLING PETplanet Insider Vol. 23 No. 05/22 www.petpla.net 39 record and document the internal bottle pressure and step sequence. The data collected is displayed as a pressure graph on the KHS ClearLine HMI operator panel. Any deviations from target values immediately trigger an alarm, meaning that faults can be quickly detected, localised and independently remedied by the customer. At the same time, the data enables results to be statistically evaluated. InnoPET Blomax Series V PET fillers are seldom a solitary phenomenon but instead a fixed feature of the KHS portfolio of block systems. The latest generation of KHS stretch blow moulders, the InnoPET Blomax Series V, is no exception. Its output was recently increased to a maximum of 2,800 bottles per blowing station. Thanks to intelligent process control, NIR heating and a simple modular design, the stretch blow moulder is specified with an efficiency of >98%. The InnoPET Blomax Series V is claimed to be thoughtoutwhen it comes to sustainability, not only with its ability to save on bottle weight but also regarding flexibility in the processing of recycled or virgin PET. Moreover, numerous technical optimisations considerably reduce the amount of energy and blow air used by up to 40% compared with the previous series. www.khs.com Manfred Härtel, filling product manager at KHS
