PP Hot-Fill Bottles for Beverage

PP Hot-Fill Bottles for Beverage

Product catalog summary
Introduction
Choosing between PET and PP for hot-fill beverage products is a common challenge for producers. Traditionally, PP bottles were made using extrusion blow moulding, which did not match the sealing properties of PET bottles made with ISBM technology. However, WEI LI's advancements in reheat stretch blow moulding have enabled the production of highly clarified PP bottles suitable for hot-fill beverages.

Recent Developments
WEI LI has recently assisted a customer in developing a PP hot-fill bottle for soya milk, replacing the older extrusion blow moulded PP bottles. This development offers a cost-effective solution that enhances marketability.

Advantages of PP Hot-Fill Bottles
  • Heat Resistance: Suitable for products over 100°C, such as fruit juice, jam, and tea.
  • High Clarity: Improved significantly with 2-stage SBM machines.
  • Smooth Neck Finish: Ensures good sealing properties and safe direct drinking.
  • Cost Efficiency: PP bottles are about 40% less costly by volume compared to PET.
  • Recyclability: PP is recyclable, reducing the carbon footprint.

Specifications
  • Volume: 500ml
  • Neck Finish: 38mm
  • Weight: 30g

Conclusion
PP is a cost-effective alternative for both hot-fill and cold-fill packaging due to its excellent moisture and aroma barrier properties, alongside its recyclability benefits.

PP Hot-Fill Bottles for Beverage It is always a dilemma for beverage producers to choose between PET & PP for their hot-fill products. Traditionally, most PP bottles were moulded using extrusion blow moulding technology but the sealing properties are always not as good as PET hot-fill bottle made in ISBM. Because of WEI LI’s continuous R&D, many customers are able to apply WEI LI’s reheat stretch blow moulding machine for production of highly clarified PP bottles for their hot-fill beverage products. Recently, WEI LI has assisted a customer to develop a PP hot-fill bottle for soya milk to replace the old PP bottle moulded in extrusion blow moulding machine. WEI LI provides a cost-effective solution for PP hot-fill packaging which significantly improves their marketability.
