Fully Automated Pet Manufacturing Lines

Over the past 12 years, we have carried out an extensive programme of installations of Zecchetti PET air conveyor and palletization systems

with the Western Container Corporation in the USA, one of America’s most modern PET manufacturing organisations and a subsidiary of Coca Cola. Over the past 12 years, we have carried out an extensive programme of installations of Zecchetti PET air conveyor and palletization systems, with the Western Container Corporation in the USA, one of America’s most modern PET manufacturing organisations and a subsidiary of Coca Cola.  To date 24 installations have been carried out across the USA with an average value of £1,000,000.  The most sophisticated of these installations took place at their Houston facility where 3 high speed, PET manufacturing lines were installed.  The installations consisted of 3 Zecchetti EasyPal high speed machines for the palletization of these difficult to handle containers at speeds of 70,000 containers per hour.  We believe that the Houston operation is probably the most productive operation for the manufacture of PET containers installed anywhere in the world.

The installation was carried out under the supervision of Planet Flowline engineers, working with English contractors, who have developed specialised skills in the erection of these complicated lines.
