Zhongchen Light Machinery's Blow-Fill-Seal Machine and Sterile, Ultra-Clean Filling Technology Have Entered a New Chapter
In December 2021, another high-end PET bottle blowing, filling, and capping machine was packed and shipped to the global renowned company Heineken, marking a new chapter in the development of Zhongchen Light Machinery's blow-fill-seal machine.
Zhongchen Light Machinery, as the first domestic supplier to launch such PET bottle sterilization products, started with a high starting point in blow-fill-seal technology. For example, the Heineken Group has strict inspection standards for products, and the customer's beverage material is malt-type beer drinks. In order to achieve a 50PU sterilization effect, the bottles filled and capped after blowing need to undergo a high-temperature sterilization process of 61 degrees Celsius for 30 minutes in a tunnel sterilization machine. After sterilization, the diameter change rate and liquid level drop of the bottles need to be controlled within strict standard values. In order to achieve this goal, special optimization design is needed for the heating machine, mold, and base cooling parts, as well as rigorous testing and optimization of the blowing process. Zhongchen Light Machinery successfully met Heineken Group's production requirements. The PepsiCo/F&N company proposed an ultra-high standard that the bottom stress test of the bottle must not have cracks within 30 minutes (the domestic general standard test is not to leak within 30 minutes), and after the continuous efforts of the Zhongchen Light Machinery blow-fill-seal team, they met the customer's acceptance standards. This not only reflects Zhongchen Light Machinery's relentless pursuit of technology, but also reflects its commitment to being responsible for customers, taking customers as the center, and creating value for customers.


Zhongchen Light Machinery has developed sterile blowing, filling and capping technology, bottle preform dust removal and sterilization technology, cap sterilization technology, and material sterilization technology, which enables it to have the production capacity of ultra-clean, sterile filling equipment. It has also formed a series of models. Zhongchen Light Machinery participated in the "PET Bottle High-Speed Blow-Fill-Capping Integrated Sterile Filling Technology and Equipment R&D" project under the "13th Five-Year Plan" of the National Key R&D Program. The project lasted three years and was successfully completed in September 2021. It made important progress in the research of beverage sterile high-speed blowing and filling, with many technologies and achievements reaching the international leading or advanced level. It has provided strong support for the rapid and promotional application of domestic sterile high-speed cold filling equipment, making significant contributions to solving the "chokepoint" technology, breaking foreign monopoly, and filling the domestic blank. At the same time, the implementation of the project has accumulated experience for Zhongchen Light Machinery in the field of sterile filling and trained a high-level talent team for sterile filling technology and equipment.
