Delta DSC100 Delta Engineering's new spray coater applies a light coating to bottles to address several issues that often affect PET bottles on filling lines. Bottles enter on a conveyor, then are grabbed by the neck and misted with an anti-static coating before the dry bottles are returned to the conveyor to exit the machine at a rate of about 8,000 bottles per hour.
What's new? The machine, which is making its North American debut at NPE2018.
Benefits Improved product quality and smoother production operations. Bottles treated by the coater are less likely to get stuck between guides, have improved brightness, fewer scuff marks and less static. Users can quickly and easily make adjustments to accommodate different types of bottles. Also, the machine's new spray process is efficient, reducing coating consumption.
