Distribution system of pet bottle for drinking water and beverage

Abstract

A system for a PET bottle body for drinking water and beverage using a container in a bellows shape, in which a series of steps for housing and transporting a large quantity of PET bottle bodies at one time from a manufacturing step, to a charging factory of content and after the PET bottle bodies are emptied are performed accurately, reliably and easily is proposed. When the PET bottle body charged with mineral water or juice are purchased and the mineral water or juice is drunken, the volume and height of the PET bottle body can be reduced corresponding to the emptied amount, and after the PET bottle body is emptied, the PET bottle body is compressed in the vertical direction by being crushed, so that the PET bottle body can be discarded in a state in which its volume is much smaller than the predetermined volume and its height is very low.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a distribution system for transporting from a manufacturing process to a reclaiming plant for disposal, recycling and the like, containers for juice and mineral water mainly formed by using a blow molding method such as stretch blow and indexing blow, which is generally called a PET (polyethyleneterephthalate) resin blow or the like. [0003] 2. Description of the Related Art [0004] The amount of production of synthetic resin bottles has been tremendous in recent years. [0005] However, such bottles have the largest disadvantage that when the juice or mineral water inside the PET bottle bodies is drunken off and the PET bottle bodies are discarded, they remain in the shape before they are not emptied, when they are discarded into so-called garbage boxes, the garbage boxes become quickly full as if air were discarded into the garbage boxes, and therefore they are ultimately discarded on ...

Benefits of technology

[0015] Hence, an object of the present invention is to make it possible to manufacture a PET bottle easily, which is reduced in its vertical width (height) substantially as compared when the content is charged in the PET bottle body, upon manufacturing the PET bottle body in the above described series of the system.

[0016] Another object of the present invention is to design the above described compressed PET bottle body to be able to keep the state at a normal temperature.

[0020] Still another object of the present invention is to design the PET bottle which becomes “empty” after the beverage or water is drunken off to be contractible into the volume (height) of ½ to 1 / 10 of the original volume, and increase the volume, namely, the processing amount which can be handled at one time dramatically as compared with the prior art when it is housed in the garbage box and is transported for disposal and reuse.

[0021] Generally, an object of the present invention is to propose a system in which a series of processes of manufacturing the PET bottles for drinking water and beverage using the above bellows-shaped containers, charging contents therein in a charging factory, and housing and transporting a large number of the PET bottle bodies at one time after they are emptied are carried out accurately, reliably, easily and smoothly.

[0023] Another characteristic of the present invention is, in the above described process, having a step of performing a forming work to compress this formed PET bottle body in a vertical direction to be much smaller in volume than the aforesaid predetermined volume and very low in height, and to make it possible to keep the compression state at a normal temperature.

[0027] A general characteristic of the present invention is a distribution system of the PET bottles for drinking water and beverage, in which when the PET bottle body charged with the mineral water, juice or the like is purchased and the mineral water or juice is drunken, the volume and height of the PET bottle body can be reduced corresponding to an emptied amount, and after the mineral water or juice is finished, the PET bottle body is compressed in a vertical direction by being crushed, so that the PET bottle body can be discarded in a state with a much smaller volume than the aforesaid predetermined volume and very low height.

Problems solved by technology

However, such bottles have the largest disadvantage that when the juice or mineral water inside the PET bottle bodies is drunken off and the PET bottle bodies are discarded, they remain in the shape before they are not emptied, when they are discarded into so-called garbage boxes, the garbage boxes become quickly full as if air were discarded into the garbage boxes, and therefore they are ultimately discarded on the streets to worsen the living environments.

In addition, the recovering cost of the emptied PET bottle bodies and the labor cost for cleaning become a large burden on the public works.

This kind of synthetic resin bottles can be manufactured by the easy means such as blow molding, but the strength thereof cannot be said sufficient enough to correspond to automobiles and the other transportation means accompanied by vigorous vibrations, and display at the stores in which they are stacked on one another.

Further, this makes the ratio of the transportation cost of the products considerably high because the PET bottle bodies are so bulky that when the container bottles are transported to the companies for charging juice and mineral water therein from the manufacturers of the container bottles, it seems as if air were transported.
