A significant reduction in the energy required for bottling is achieved by eliminating the need for compressed air. | A significant reduction in the energy required for bottling is achieved by eliminating the need for compressed air. <br> | ||
With standard blow molding the air compression cycle is only 35% to 40% efficient and consumes approximately 70% of the total amount of electricity used in the blow molding process. | With standard blow molding the air compression cycle is only 35% to 40% efficient and consumes approximately 70% of the total amount of electricity used in the blow molding process. | ||

Standard bottle making and filling operations are typically performed by two separate pieces of equipment. The LiquiForm® process requires a footprint which compares to a traditional blow molder, dramatically reducing floor space requirements. | Standard bottle making and filling operations are typically performed by two separate pieces of equipment. <br> | ||
