Not long ago PET Technologies in cooperation with the partner, Packing Equipment Plant “Thermo-Pack”, supplied a complete filling line for 5 l PET bottles with reduced weight to Jermuk Group.

In order to reduce expenses, the customer switched from 48 mm Bericap preform to 38 mm Bericap preform to produce 3.0 and 5.0 l PET bottles at APF-5 automatic stretch blow molding machine. It is beneficial both for bottled water consumers and for the bottling company. Preform and cap cost reduction leads to final product competitive price.

Thus, use of 64 g Bericap preform (38 mm) instead of 85 g Bericap preform (48 mm) saves up to 90 tons of PET material per year by value USD 135 000. Automatic blow molding machine APF-5 (1600 bph, 3 – 10 l) with two independent blowing units admits both neck standards.

Jermuk Group is famous far beyond the Armenia’s borders for its mineral water form hot springs high in the mountains. Worth to mention that jermuk in Armenian means warm. The bottling plant next to the spring permits to maintain the unique water characteristics.

PET bottles with mountain slopes as decoration produced at APF-5 blower highlight the natural origin and picturesque environment around the plant. Small PET bottles manufactured and filled at high speed rotary machines of European providers have similar concept. PET Technologies experienced in bottle design supplied several kits of molds.

New joint projects year in, year out are proof of long and fruitful collaboration between PET Technologies and Jermuk Group.
