The Belvac company is focused on promoting sustainability with its recent launch of an aluminum bottle with parts in common with plastic bottles for an easier plastic-to-aluminum replacement. This new product demonstrates the company’s commitment to caring for the environment and reducing its impact on the planet.
The bottle incorporates a ring in the neck part of the bottle, which makes the filling process of the aluminum bottle similar to that of the plastic bottle, allowing fillers to use the same machinery regardless of whether they fill with plastic or aluminum bottles. is a step towards a greener and better future for all. This new bottle promises to be an environmentally friendly packaging option due to its interchangeability in the industrial process with plastic bottles.
Also, the novel aluminum ring feature makes the bottle a viable option compared to PET bottles in terms of packaging. The ring allows the filling of aluminum bottles on filling lines already in use for PET, requiring minimal investment in capital expenditures.
In order to be able to fill aluminum bottles on existing PET filling lines, only a small modification to the equipment is required through the use of the carrier ring. This innovative technology makes it possible to use normal PET filling lines to fill aluminum bottles. Belvac has developed a special system to manufacture these bottles at the neck stage.
