BOTTLE MAKING 31 PETplanet Insider Vol. 26 No. 10/25 www.petpla.net SIAPI launches ARS 5.0 to halve air consumption in blow moulding Air recovery system supports sustainable process In the ever-evolving landscape of industrial manufacturing, energy efficiency and sustainability have become key considerations. SIAPI, a manufacturer of blow moulding technology, has developed its Air Recovery System (ARS) 5.0. This system is designed to reduce air consumption by up to 50% during the blow moulding process, particularly for large-format bottles. Through a recent research and development initiative, SIAPI has introduced a new blow moulding system that prioritises flexibility and energy conservation. The ARS 5.0 system incorporates three recovery phases, with two specifically dedicated to blow air recovery. This system allows the complete recycling of the blowing air in both the primary and intermediate phases of the blow moulding process. The benefits of the ARS 5.0 extend beyond the reduction in blowing air volume required, says the company: Data collected from their customers’ machines with this system installed demonstrate a recovery rate of 50%. This not only translates to energy savings but also contributes to a more sustainable production process. Ultimately, reducing blowing air consumption leads to lower energy costs, reduced high-pressure system installation costs, and decreased maintenance expenses. Precision and repeatability The ARS system’s layout, meticulously designed and developed by SIAPI, is reported to ensure freedom and simplicity in adjusting all blow moulding parameters. The pressure and flow of primary, intermediate, and secondary air are precisely managed by a PLC. These settings are stored in recipes, guaranteeing repeatability of the blow moulding process without any manual intervention from operators. SIAPI’s ARS 5.0 is presented as an advancement in blow moulding technology, offering substantial energy savings and enhanced process control. www.siapi.it BEYOND THE HORIZON PROCESS SOLUTIONS FOR POLYMER RECYCLING AND SOLID STATE POLYMER UPGRADING Polymetrix, a Sanlian Buhler Company, provides process technology including EPCM services for the polymer recycling and manufacturing industry.
