Dieses Verschlussmundstück kann zur aseptischen Befüllung und zur Befüllung mithilfe von Stickstoffdruck verwendet werden, wobei der innere Überdruck 1 bar nicht überschreiten darf.
Dieses Verschlussmundstück ist dafür ausgelegt, ausschließlich Kunststoffverschlüsse mit Originalitäts-sicherung einschließlich Varianten mit Anbindungselement aufzunehmen.
Emballage - Récipients en plastique rigide - Bague PET 29/25 (12,6)
Le présent document spécifie la conception et les dimensions de la bague à vis de 29 mm à trois (3) filets pour le bouchage des eaux plates et des boissons non carbonatées.
Il est applicable aux bagues désignées « bagues PET 29/25 (12,6) ». La dimension (12,6) est la hauteur, en millimètres, entre le sommet de la bague et le bas de la collerette de préhension.
La bague peut être utilisée pour le remplissage aseptique et pour le remplissage avec utilisation d’azote sous pression, la surpression interne n’excédant pas 1 bar.
Cette bague est prévue pour recevoir uniquement une capsule en plastique avec témoin d’effraction, y compris une capsule restant attachée à la bouteille lors de l’utilisation.
Embalaža - Toge plastične posode - PET-grla 29/25 (12,6)
Ta evropski standard določa zasnovo in mere za navojno grlo s premerom 29 mm ter trojnim (3) začetkom navoja za negazirano vodo in negazirane napitke. To grlo je namensko grlo PET 29/25 (12,6).
To grlo je mogoče uporabljati za aseptično polnjenje in polnjenje z dodajanjem dušika (notranji nadtlak nižji od največ 1 bara). Mera (12,6) je višina v milimetrih od vrha grla do dna podpornega okrajka.
Grlu se lahko doda le plastičen čep, ki varuje pred nedovoljenim odpiranjem. Pri prvem odpiranju se obroček, ki varuje pred nedovoljenim odpiranjem, loči od lupine čepa in ostane na grlu steklenice ali pa se, kot pri povratnih steklenicah, pretrga, vendar ostane pritrjen na lupino čepa.

Overview
SIST EN 16592:2023 defines the design and dimensional specifications for the 29 mm PET screw finish, identified as 29/25 (12,6), used on rigid plastic containers. This standard is crucial for the packaging sector, specifically for bottles intended for flat waters and non-carbonated beverages. The main focus of this standard is to ensure consistent, reliable sealing, compatibility with tamper-evident closures, and suitability for various filling processes such as aseptic and nitrogen-pressurized filling (with pressures up to 1 bar).
Standardization through SIST EN 16592:2023 supports high-quality production, boosts interoperability among packaging manufacturers, and helps streamline the supply chain for plastic containers used in beverage and water bottling.
Key Topics
- Design of PET Finish 29/25 (12,6):
- Specifies a screw finish with three thread starts, each 120° apart, facilitating efficient and uniform closure application.
- The “12,6” dimension refers to the 12.6 mm height measured from the top of the finish to the base of the support ledge.
- Closure Features:
- Designed to be sealed exclusively with tamper-evident plastic closures, including those with attached caps, enhancing product integrity and consumer safety.
- Performance Requirements:
- The finish supports both aseptic filling and filling under low nitrogen pressure (internal overpressure not exceeding 1 bar).
- Requires a defect-free, smooth finish to avoid any risks of leakage.
- Mandates strict tolerances on flash, thread alignment, and sealing surfaces to ensure airtight closure and trouble-free capping.
- Dimensional Accuracy:
- Tolerances are clearly defined to maintain bottle performance and compatibility across the supply chain.
- Precise measurements for thread pitch, diameters, and cylindrical zones enable uniform manufacturing and fitment.
Applications
- Beverage Bottling:
- Primarily used for packaging flat (still) waters and non-carbonated drinks in PET bottles where secure, tamper-evident sealing is required.
- Aseptic and Nitrogen Filling:
- The finish supports both aseptic filling operations and nitrogen-pressurized environments (up to 1 bar), making it suitable for preserving product quality by preventing contamination and oxidation.
- Tamper-Evident Packaging:
- Supports implementation of tamper-evident caps, helping manufacturers meet international safety standards and consumer demands for security features in packaging.
