These tools are specifically designed to support manufacturers in improving sustainable PET packaging by reducing waste, improving bottle performance, and accelerating development cycles. As the industry pivots toward eco-friendly practices, sustainable PET packaging becomes a critical focus—and BMT is leading that change.
BMT’s Vision: Engineering a Greener Future
“At BMT we engineer the virtual world for real-world environmental impact,” says Yannis Salomeia, CEO & Co-founder. “By making sustainability achievable, we're helping brands and manufacturers optimise material use, reduce waste, and improve bottle performance.”
Visit BMT at Drinktec 2025, booth C6-531, to see live demonstrations of their lab tools and discover The BMT Way—a comprehensive workflow combining data, hardware, and technical expertise to streamline PET bottle production.
BLOWSCAN: Data-Driven Stretch Blow Moulding
Key Features:
- Single-cavity SBM platform ideal for early-stage testing.
- Modular modes: switch between free-blow and mould-blow.
- Collects detailed process data like inflation pressure and preform temperature.
As recycled and bio-based PET materials become industry standard, inconsistencies in behaviour demand more controlled processes. BLOWSCAN addresses these challenges head-on by providing R&D teams with quantifiable insights without disrupting production lines. It's especially valuable for testing recycled PET (rPET), enabling fast prototyping and validation of new geometries.
THERMOSCAN: Precision Thermal Monitoring
Key Features:
- Lab-based infrared imaging for preform and bottle thermal analysis.
- Ideal for comparing vPET and rPET runs.
- Reduces trial-and-error in oven settings and setup time by up to 30%.
With sustainable PET packaging becoming a market requirement, THERMOSCAN delivers clarity and control by enabling teams to benchmark thermal behaviour and reduce processing variability.
The BMT Way: Measure, Digitise, Execute
BMT’s structured workflow combines:
- Measurement: Using BLOWSCAN and THERMOSCAN to collect high-res data.
- Digitisation: Creating virtual simulations to test design and material combinations.
- Execution: Feeding validated insights into production to cut errors and accelerate launches.
This approach transforms disconnected lab work into a feedback loop that improves every step—from design to production.
Shaping the Future of PET Packaging
“We’re looking forward to connecting with industry partners at Drinktec and showcasing how our technologies support sustainable PET packaging innovation,” concludes David McKelvey, Head of Strategic Partnerships. “Our goal is to help brands de-risk development, increase efficiency, and meet their sustainability targets.”
