3. DESIGN PROCESS OF THE PRODUCT
-Product life cycle
• Is it going to be a long life cycle Premium product?
• Is it going to be a short seasonal life cycle?
• Are we talking about a non-returnable packaging?
-Competitors
• Are we going to paste & copy an existing design?
• Are we going to modify an existing design?
• Are we going to design a Brand new product?
-Product to pack + Properties
• Carbonated/non-carbonated product?
• Filling temperature
• Water, Beer, Tea, Soda, Milk, Spirit …
-Filling process
• Aseptic
• Hot filling
• The bottle: Is it going to be pressurized?
• In order to avoid the O2 on the bottle neck: Are we going to inject NO2?
• The content: does it produce foam during the filling process?
• What system are we going to use to avoid the foam? (long tube or spreader)
Design process of PET packaging
4. - Transport within the factory
• What method are will de used? (air conveyor/conveyor belt)
• What kind of conveyor?
• What’s the Surface material?
• What’s its speed?
- Preform
• New or already existing preform?
• Will it be produced within the Company or bought?
- Quantity
• Bottles to fill in? (or amount of liters)
• Optimization of the filler machune
• Bottle volumen (just one bottle or a range of bottles?)
• Market (domestic/International)
- Shape of the base
• Petaloid? (mainly for carbonted drinks / CSDs)
• For mineral water? (or non carbonated produc)
• For champagne?
• For hot filling products?
• Does the bottle need to be positioned? (LUGS)
• …
Design process of PET packaging
5. - Neck finish/neck/closure (external/internal diameter - height)
• PCO (for CSDs / Plastic closure / 1,5 turns)
• Neck for mineral water
• Wide neck
- Bottle decoration (label, sleeve, BOPP label, screenprit, …)
- Emballage
- Approval/Communication procedures
- Time Frame
Design process of PET packaging
6. PRODUCT PROPERTIES
-Vertical load
• Closure
• Inbore
• Store (take care of base layer)
• Transport
• Is it currently a production line for glass?
-Internal pressure
• Carbonated product?
• How much CO2 does it dissolve?
• Filling temperatura/humidity (Does it need reinforcement panels?)
Design process of PET packaging
7. - Stability
• What kind of grip is needed?
- Stress Cracking
• Take care if exposed to alkaline solutions:
During the rinsing process (returnable bolltes)
Lubricants used for conveyor belts
• Geometric design of the base
• Design of the preform
• Parameters of the stretch blow molding process
- Barrier
• Product life cycle?
• Protection against the loss of CO2?
• Protection against the ingress of O2?
• Protection against wáter vapor?
• Multiple layers?
• UV protección?
• Tinted preform?
• More pronounced on smaller bottles (the Surface/volumen ratio is high)
Design process of PET packaging
8. - Inbore
• Type
• Pouring rate
• Dimensions
• Non refillable?
- Profile?
- Thickness/Resistance/Stability
- Neck ring needed?
- Height/Width
- Capacity
- Material
Design process of PET packaging
9. FIRST DESIGN IN CAD
-Are we talking about an existing design? Is it completely new?
• ”Reverse Engineering” procedure?
• Cretion of a Brand new design?
-Creation of a Brand new design
• 2D Design
• 3D CAD Design (¿Class A surfaces?)
• FEM (Finite Element Method)
• Digital Mock-up
Design process of PET packaging
10. DESIGN OF THE PREFORM
-Are we talhing about an existing design of preform? Purpose made preform?
• ”Reverse Engineering” procedure? (3D laser scan)
-We need info about neck and sizes:
• Height
• Diameter
• Capacity
• Final weight
• Shoulder zone =>+20% material than label zone
• Base zone =>+50% material tan shoulder zone
-Limiting variables in the design
• Neck ring needed?
• Filling method (shoulder’s shape – transition zone from neck to shoulder)
• Conveyor belt (contact bottle to bottle)
• Speed of the conveyor belt (Geometry ans stability of the bottle)
• Required Filling level (zero space?)
• Label zone (required thickness and Surface profile)
Design process of PET packaging
11. VERIFICATION OF THE 3D DESIGN THROUGH FEM (FINE ELEMENT METHOD)
-Maximum Capacity (identifies posible breaking points)
-Effects of grooves or drawings on the Surface ot the bottle
-Behaviour of different geometries on the shoulder zone
-Behaviour of the bottle against pressure conditions (hot products)
-Behaviour of the bottle against temperatura changes
-Thickness of the Wall thickness of the preform
-Product life cycle simulation on store
-Required time: 2-3 days (FEM) vs. 4 weeks (Real test)
-What FEM CNNOT DO
• Predcit the exact Wall thickness distribution based on the info about:
The preform
The geometry of the bottle
The heating conditions
• The optimum adjustements of heating pannels in the oven system of the blow molder
Design process of PET packaging
12. MOLD CONCEPT SELECTION
-Based on:
• Equipment to be used
• Type of process (hot, aseptic, …¿?)
• Size of the bottle
• Frequency of product changeover…
-Molds:
• Aluminium
Shell
Full body
Small Cavities
• Steel
Hot-Fill
Design process of PET packaging
13. LABORATORY TESTS ON SAMPE BOTTLES
-Verification of:
• Main dimensions
• Capacity
• Top load
• Internal pressure (Burst pressure test)
• Stress Cracking Resistance
• Fillability
• Cristalinity (temperatura resistance)
• Drop test
• Barrier properties
Against ingress of O2
Against loss of CO2
Segment weight distribution
