PET line RGB line RGB line Can line
LINE 1:
 PET: Polyethylene terephthalate, is a form of polyester. It is extruded or
molded into plastic bottles and containers for packaging foods and
beverages
 KRONES: German company that manufactures the machinery required for
the production of beverages
 Divo-Flow 185 is a CIP (Clean-in-place) unit that used steam for the cleaning
of the pipes after production of a certain beverage is over
 Titan Prytech 4 VL83 is the lubrication used for the conveyors
 Backup sensors are installed along the conveyor belt to sense the backup of
excess bottles are a point.
1. The syrup arrives at the line and is produced into a mixture using Glycol
and CO2.
2. Raw material (preform) is brought in huge boxes for further processing.
3. An elevator is used to carry the preform to a certain height from where
the process starts.
4. In the Blow mold, a certain temperature and pressure is used to blow
the preform in the specific shape using various molds. Control panels
called iPanel CD are used to control the temperature and pressure
settings inside the blow mold. A feedback sensor checks which bottles
are unaligned and then returns them back to the start for their
alignment.
5. Base cooling of the bottles are done to strengthen the base.
6. A series of rotational catchers are used to sequentially fill and cap the
bottles using filler and capper mechanisms.
7. Checkmat is a system of sensors that checks for two criteria: underfilling
and improper capping. If either of these are breached, the bottle is
discarded.
8. Coding is imprinted on the bottles, containing the details of the location
and time of its production.
9. A labeler mechanism labels the bottles.
10.Variopac packs the bottles in groups of 6 or 12 depending upon their
size.
11. A palletizer stacks these packs into layers with trays in between.
LINE 2 AND 3:
 RGB: Regular glass bottle
1. The uncaser takes out the bottles from the crates and places them on a
conveyor.
2. The old bottles are then washed and cleaned using hot water and other
chemicals like Bright wash.
3. A crate washer is also used to clean the crates.
4. Manual checking and screening of the bottles is done by the workers
using a fluorescent screen. They check for damaged and dirty bottles.
5. Filling and capping is done the same way as the PET line, i.e. using
KROANES machines with catchers and automated fillers and cappers.
6. Another manual screening is done for underfilled bottles.
7. The bottles are then conveyed to the crate packer that packs them back
into clean crates.
LINE 4:
 The beverage is at an initial temperature of 4-5 degrees Celsius. It is kept at
this low temperature using ammonia, in order to trap the CO 2 inside the
can.
 Rope conveyors are used in some parts of the process.
 A pallet contains 9775 cans in 17 layers
1. Empty cans arrive in huge boxes from another manufacturing
company in Faisalabad.
2. A depalletizer takes apart the pallets into single layers and places
them onto the rope conveyors.
3. The cans are washed and rinsed using treated water.
4. A filler mechanism fills the cans. The manufacturer of the machinery
is CFT, an Italian company. The filler has 50 valves.
5. The seamer installs the top part of the cans in 2 stages: first it places
the seam over the rest of the can, next it bends the circumference to
fix it in place.
6. The can is then heated to bring it to room temperature, i.e. 30
degrees Celsius.
7. A dryer removes the moisture from the cans before packing is done.
It is done in order to ensure proper packing and coding on the
surface of the cans.
8. A flipper flips the cans onto another conveyor that places them on a
tray and then they are shrink wrapped.
9. A palletizer stacks the packed cans into layers.
