Abstract: Aiming at the problem that plastic bottle caps′ brittleness will be increased in low temperature environment, which leads to the broken bridge and twisting cap in production, the design and application of the heat container for plastic bottle caps were researched. A heat device by air heater was later on presented after an exploration of cap heating methods. With the assistance of CFD software SolidWorks flow simulation, the heat container fluid model was established and based on which the distributions of the temperature field and streamline were obtained. Furthermore, the simulation results indicate that the heat container is reasonably designed with uniform temperature distribution. The results indicate that the design of the heat container is concise and reasonable, and it can significantly reduce the quality problem caused by caps in production and has very good economic benefits.
