Pakistan Beverage expects the new equipment, which has the capacity to generate close to 16,000 bottles every hour in 500ml, 1.5l and 2.25l formats, to help it meet increased market demands for its products.
The Sidel blower features Ecoven technology, which ensures less power consumption and can increase output since it is equipped with a large reserve that allows fast heating.
The blower can also deliver heat treatment precision that can ensure identical PET bottle characteristics and quality, Sidel said.
Pakistan Beverage manufacturing operations group director Ronnie Daruwalla said: "At Pakistan Beverage, we always strive to operate reliable equipment that can help us keep up with the market demand.
