In just four months, KHS and Husky Technologies have developed the \u201eFaktor 101\u201c PET bottle - weighing just 5.89 grams with a volume of 591 ml. The bottle saves 30 per cent material and, according to the manufacturer, can be produced entirely from rPET.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The new \u201eFaktor 101\u201c PET bottle marks a technological milestone in beverage packaging: with a weight of just 5.89 grams and a volume of 591 millilitres (20 ounces, standard US format), it is one of the world's lightest PET bottles for non-carbonated beverages.<\/p>\n

The bottle was developed in close cooperation between the Dortmund-based filling and packaging specialist KHS and the Canadian preform expert Husky Technologies.<\/p>

Stability despite material reduction of 30 per cent<\/h3>\n

Despite the extremely lightweight material, \u201eFaktor 101\u201c offers high mechanical stability. The so-called topload value is 220 newtons - a top value in the lightweight bottle segment for still water. This was made possible by an innovative shoulder and base design with functional bars and a \u201epop-in\u201c effect, which specifically increases the internal pressure and therefore the stability.<\/p>\n

Complete development in just four months<\/h3>\n

Thanks to close coordination between the KHS development teams and Husky's preform designers, the project was completed in a record time of just four months.<\/p>\n

The focus here was on optimising the preform geometry and the blow moulding processes on the KHS InnoPET Blomax Series V, which enables extremely thin-walled and at the same time dimensionally stable bottles thanks to precise temperature profiling, according to the company.<\/p>\n

100 % rPET and high-speed capable<\/h3>\n

The bottle can be made entirely from recycled PET (rPET) and can be processed on high-performance lines at up to 90,000 bottles per hour. Particular attention was paid to line capability in terms of transport, labelling and secondary packaging.<\/p>\n

\u201eFaktor 101\u201c was presented for the first time at the NPE 2024 plastics trade fair in Orlando and, according to KHS, met with great interest there - especially among contract bottlers in the USA, the Middle East and South America, who are under high cost pressure.<\/p>\n
