Testing Neck-Ring Compatibility Before Buying an Air Conveyor

An air conveyor supports compatible empty PET bottles at the neck ring. Neck dimensions and the transitions into adjacent machines therefore matter as much as the conveyor length. It is not a general solution for every filled container.

Check the difficult transfers

Trial the approved neck finishes through curves, switches and machine handovers. Look for catches, ring damage and bottle swing. Inspect rail joints and alignment before increasing airflow to push bottles past an obstruction.

Include stop recovery

Observe accumulated bottles and the restart sequence with the lightest approved format. Record any manual clearing. Define the air-supply, access and cleaning requirements in the quotation alongside the physical route.
