Section Weight Analysis for PET Bottle with Hot Wire Bottle Cutter

PET bottle packaging is one of the most reliable and trustworthy packaging considered for beverages. The PET material’s properties are so that they are in high demand in the bottle industry. To keep ahead of the demanding race, one must be a step ahead in the competition. For this, quality inspection plays a vital role in bringing profit and matching the industry set criteria. One of the qualities aspects to check for bottle production is section weight analysis to be performed using a precision-based Hot wire bottle cutter. Here are properties that a manufacturer can improve by testing the weight of the part.

Why PET packaging quality control is important?

PET packaging or PET bottles are made by the blow moulding technique in which the preform of bottles is blown by extreme heat into a desirable shape of a PET bottle. During this blown technique, there can be conditions that the bottle is formed inappropriate. The top section is thicker than required or thinner, the bottom section is not as per the criteria and doesn't help in balancing the bottle. Due to this type of damages and faults developed in the bottles during the manufacturing process, the end product may be not as per the customer use. That can lead to dropping sales, reducing brand recognition or rejection of material.

To avoid such situations, one must perform an accurate section weight evaluation of bottles before the production sample is finalized.

Highly accurate Hot wire bottle cutter to improve production line
Hot wire bottle cutter is a high-end section weight analysis machine that can be used in industries like PET bottle packaging, Containers or other PET packages than bottle or container. The equipment is precisely designed as per international test standards that allows the machine to deliver test results or performance that is accepted worldwide.

The machine has two kanthal element wires that are stretched knotted on the equipment. The kanthal material is renowned for faster heating up and precise cutting or slicing of the containers into three prominent sections that must be checked for weight as per industry standards that are the top, middle cylindrical and bottom section.

While the wires cut off the three sections the heating temperature can be checked on a digital LED screen based on a high-end microprocessor program that ensures highly precise values. The heating performance of the cutting wires are controlled by a dedicated panel that controls variably through a precise port. The machine is designed to allow a wide range of sizes and shapes of bottles to test. The equipment allows a different level of heating that can be chosen as pe the sample thickness. One can choose between Low, Medium, and High heating level as per requirement.

The machine body is strong & rigid that is coated with powder coating for long run performance and projects the machine body from corrosion and other extreme wether conditions. To hold the bottle sample the machine is equipped with strong holding clamps that assures zero chances of error during the slicing of bpottle sample. The faster heating up of the cutting wire ensures that the production time is not wasted and improves the quality of the product as well. The equipment allows the camping of the sample to adjust by the length, width and delivers a clamping mechanism that works the best in various industries.

The machine also delivers a strong and rugged base plate that provides a firm hold of the specimen while testing or when the manufacturer applies external force to slice off the specimen. Hot wire bottle cutter comes in a 3-wire configuration too.
