Compressed air is one of the most energy-intensive utilities in manufacturing, especially in PET bottle production where both high and low-pressure air systems are essential. Managing these systems efficiently can mean the difference between unnecessary energy waste and significant cost savings.
AIRMATICS in Action: A Dual System Installation in France
At a leading PET bottle manufacturing facility in France, we successfully implemented two fully integrated AIRMATICS Aero systems. One was for the high-pressure network (30 to 40 bar) and the other for the low-pressure network (7 to 10 bar). These systems are equipped with our Pressure Balance Feature, ensuring optimal air distribution while maintaining stable pressure across the plant.
Beyond pressure management, each asset and system is fully monitored, providing real-time data and insights that drive efficiency. The result is lower energy consumption, improved equipment longevity and enhanced operational reliability.
Why This Matters: The Energy Challenge in PET Bottle Blowing
PET bottle blowing is particularly energy-intensive due to its reliance on compressed air. Traditionally, manufacturers face:
- High energy costs due to inefficient air system management
- Pressure management and optimisation leading to performance issues and downtime
- Lack of visibility into system performance, making optimisation difficult
With AIRMATICS, these challenges are addressed head-on. By leveraging intelligent control and real-time monitoring, manufacturers can maximise efficiency, reduce costs and ensure production stability.
