Shoulderflex Lightweight PET Bottle 5,95g
Country: Germany
Category: Non-Alcoholic Beverages
Technical edition of „ShoulderFlex“
A (filled) top-load of over 40kg at a bottle weight below 6g (500ml PET-Bottle) without N2-pressure, is unrivaled.
-Up to 50% saving in PET Material compared with commercially available 500ml bottles.
-No Nitrogen dosing necessary.
-Typically, lightweight bottles struggle with “turtle necks” (collapsing bottles).
-A unique bottle shape with the integrated flex-area which absorbs the (Top-) load.
This flexible area generates an overpressure while its compressed. This overpressure creates additional stability and improves stackability.
-Large parts of the world suffer from water shortages and unsafe water supply systems. After breathing, drinking is our most important basic need. A global trend is the development towards increasingly mobile lifestyles that include drinking "on the go".
- Our development focuses on meeting these needs in a resource-saving manner. Lower bottle weight means lower CO2 footprint!
-The challenge in this field is not the production of containers that are as light as possible, but of containers that are as light as possible and can also meet practical requirements. This solution fulfils standard market requirements even without the frequently used internal nitrogen pressure, i.e. even more efficiently and with less effort.
-A (filled) top-load of over 40kg with a container weight of less than 6g (bottle, PET) and that without N2 internal pressure was previously unattainable!!
