01 / The customer’s brief

From manual filling to a connected line

A 5-gallon bottled water producer in Hanoi with a 30-year history wanted to upgrade its manual filling system to an automatic system and reduce labor costs.

The project involved a 1,200 BPH filling line for 18.9 L returnable PET bottles. The main challenges were cleaning bottles fitted with faucets and handling PET bottles with limited rigidity.

Customized faucet washing machine

Half of the client’s returnable bottles are fitted with faucets. Planet Machinery designed a customized faucet washing machine to clean these faucets effectively.

The bottles are very lightweight, and many are deformed. Each machine was carefully designed to accommodate these bottle conditions and help prevent bottle jams.
