NitroHotfill allows innovative bottle design in hot-filling

This technology allows to produce PET bottles with reduced weight and without the typical compensating panels. In addition, it is possible to render the same drawings of both bottles in aseptic filling lines and hot filling.
After four years of experience and great efforts in the area of development, the process was perfected by Krones. From now on, bottles can be filled with temperatures up to 90 degrees Celsius, as is required, especially in Asian countries. And, with the Contiform blower 3, it is feasible to achieve yields of up to 2,250 bottles by blowing cavity, a real high speed record.
The Krones managed to improve noticeably the background design of the bottles, with technology that allows excellent performance for rendering bottles of very low weight, as the packaging of 15.5 grams to a volume of 500 ml. bottles also are available Now with more planned funds, technically improved designs to significantly improve the appearance of bottles.
For all that, the NitroHotfill process from Krones is currently the hot filling system most advanced on the market. Demand up to 40% less energy in comparison to conventional Hotfill processes, offers a very high potential in relation to weight reduction of packaging, as well as greater freedom of design with side walls without compensating panels. And now, with new funds, more plans.
The NitroHotfill Krones makes possible an efficient and profitable production, following the maxims of quality requirements in terms of product, packaging and bottling system.
