monobloc unscrambler and rinser machine in more sustainable production lines

Which factors should be considered when doing a production line more sustainable?

Reading time: 4 minutes

Sustainable Production Lines Factors.

Responsible consumption and production are two concepts that are intrinsically correlated and, moreover, they are crucial for a sustainable economy.

For the United Nations, sustainable consumption and production consist on doing more and better with less resources. This implies that economic growth does not undermine the environment and, therefore, it is feasible to increase resources’ efficiency while more sustainable lifestyles are being promoted.

Considerable players should intervene in this process. From public administrations, through consumers (increasingly conscious), until mass media and civil society organizations. And including all the supply chain, where there is room for lots of players: producers, industrial manufacturers, packaging and machinery for the production process, among others.

Sustainability has gained importance in the last years and it will continue being the main guide in lots of sectors. For instance, we see the efforts of the beverage industry firms, such as the 100% recycled PET bottle of Coca-Cola, or the great sustainability strategy of Unilever.

How does an unscrambler for PET bottles work?

Reading time: 3 minutes

Before talking about the functioning of a PET bottles unscrambler, we should mention that rotary unscramblers, more popular among European countries than linear unscramblers which are more accepted in Anglo-Saxon markets, can be classified among the ones that use random positioning systems for bottles or the ones that use prepositioning systems for bottles.

In Traktech, we are specialists in rotary unscramblers for bottles with random allocation systems which, at the same time, can work with or without pucks.

When choosing an unscrambler for a production line, it is important to know the four phases/steps that intervene in the positioning of a PET bottle, to choose the best positioning option.

Our ROTRAK unscramblers can manipulate a wide range of plastic containers with cylindric, oval and rectangular shapes. Based on geometry, we design machines from medium to high production processes, up to 20.000BPH, always considering the filler line capacity.

A machine for cleaning bottles that does not use water. Is it possible?

Reading time: 3 minutes

Machines for cleaning empty bottles have traditionally used water to clean the inside of the bottles at the beginning of a production line.

From this process comes the expression “bottle washer”, where “washer” was used to refer to cleaning the containers with water, but this terminology is now obsolete.

Why? Because the needs of bottle manufacturers and bottling companies have changed. They are under ever more pressure to supply high-quality products that are also subject to strict regulatory and environmental control.

As a result, the market has evolved, and today there are different systems and methods that offer better performance, and terms have arisen that are more closely adapted to these processes such as rinse or clean.

dry lubrication for the food industry

Dry lubrication for conveyors in the food industry

Reading time: 3 minutes

There are currently 4 different types of systems on the market for lubricating conveyors:

  1. Wet lubrication based on chemicals and water.
  2. Semi-dry lubrication like wet, but more concentrated.
  3. Dry lubrication, oil-based lubricants, silicones, or Teflon in a maximum concentration of 1%.
  4. CHP dry micro-lubrication. The lubricant has a fully stable Teflon concentration of up to 6% (components are not separated) and the overall system (lubricant, control, and injection system) guarantees very low lubricant consumption.

Unscrambling system for containers for the Pharma industry

Reading time: 2 minutes

The unscrambling system for containers is one of the most important elements in a company’s production line.

It is an unscrambler that streamlines the filling of bulk bottles and makes them go through the filling process.

The first big question to ask the manufacturing companies when suggesting a type of empty container unscramble is whether or not they have to work with pucks.

If so, you have to know if the Puck is a “loose puck” type or on the contrary, it is a “label puck”.

Depalletizers for empty glass bottles

Reading time: 3 minutes

Handling empty containers at the beginning of production is one of the most critical elements in a company.

With regard to empty bottle depalletizers, most companies need machines that maximize the production space, facilitate correct management of the empty containers and make the most of the time taken to load, unload and handle the containers.

Taking these factors into account, Traktech offers a range of depalletizing systems ranging from semi-automatic models to high-speed models operated and controlled simply by a push button.

This equipment is designed to speed up the production and packaging process, which can also be integrated into the beginning of an existing production line, with the aim of saving space and increasing flexibility and efficiency.
