container planning question
When does air recovery belong in a PET blowing system?
Air recovery can reduce the demand placed on parts of the compressed-air system when it is compatible with the blow platform and plant air architecture. Evaluate quality, pressure levels, controls, fallback operation and measured project-specific savings.
