The Problem<\/h4>\n

Britvic plc<\/a> is one of Europe\u2019s leading soft drinks companies, with a portfolio of market leading brands, such as Robinsons, J2O, Fruit Shoot, Tango and Drench.\u00a0 Previously, at their Britvic (Leeds) facility, two drying units had been installed on their main bottling line. These were not fulfilling their requirement of best practice manufacturing \u2013 the units weren\u2019t effective, and did not incorporate bottle guide rails so there was a recurrent problem of bottles falling over causing line stoppages, lost production and product waste.<\/p>\n

Line Requirements:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Throughput Speeds: 36,000 bph
\nPET Bottle sizes: 125ml \u2013 750ml
\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.27.4″ link_option_url_new_window=”on” z_index_tablet=”500″]<\/p>\n

The Solution<\/h4>\n

The two units have been replaced by a single ACI\u00a0\u2018LNL\u2019 unit, featuring ACI\u2019s \u2018JetPlate\u2018 air delivery system. Air is delivered close to the bottles for maximum efficiency, whilst at the same time acting as guide rails to promote bottle stability.<\/p>\n

The Outcome<\/h4>\n

\u201cThe previous system was a nightmare. Production hold-ups, ineffective drying, complicated set-up and fiddly to clean design, all combined to undermine efficiency. In contrast, the ACI bottle drying solution enables us to maximise throughput with no issues relating to the bottle drying function and it\u2019s also easy to switch product runs.\u201d Mick Wigham, Engineering Team Leader, Britvic.
