Mey Eden, Israel’s leading producer and supplier of natural mineral water, turned to the expert team at Yeruham Automation’s Compressed Air Division to upgrade the compressed air system supporting their bottle production lines. Their goal: to integrate a modern, efficient, high-performance compressor into the PET bottle blowing process.
PET bottles (Polyethylene Terephthalate) are lightweight, durable plastic bottles widely used in the beverage industry. Their production process involves preheating a small plastic preform—resembling a test tube—and then blow-molding it into a bottle using high-pressure compressed air.
Compressed air plays a critical role in this process. It demands highly reliable and energy-efficient compressors that can deliver precise airflow tailored to the bottle size and production volume—something most generic solutions simply can’t provide.
That’s where the ZD compressor from Atlas Copco came in:
A cutting-edge hybrid solution that combines screw and piston technologies, the ZD delivers oil-free Class 0 air at pressures of up to 40 bar, with a relative humidity as low as +3°C dew point, and in lower pressures – even below zero.
Key Benefits of the ZD Compressor:
✅ High energy efficiency – thanks to the advanced hybrid compression technology
✅ Oil-free air – certified by TÜV, one of the few compressors globally with this standard
✅ Exceptional reliability and long-term durability – due to the unique combination of technologies
✅ Low maintenance and operating costs – with no need for special equipment
✅ Smart control system – for precise performance and maintenance management
– Significantly improved energy efficiency
– Substantial reduction in electricity consumption
– Lower production and maintenance costs
– Enhanced reliability and operational stability over time
The solution we delivered enables Mey Eden to maintain high production quality while improving operational and environmental efficiency — reflecting our ongoing commitment to providing tailored, sustainable, and innovative solutions for the industry.
