In September, PET Technologies will bring its latest developments to drinktec 2022, the world’s largest exhibition for the beverages and liquids industry!
Visitors to the PET Technologies stand will witness the latest generation of PET stretch blow molders, the APF-Max. With its wide range of models capable of producing bottles from 100 ml up to 8L with a neck finish of up to 120 mm and outputs up to an impressive 14,000 bph. The APF-Max is also capable of producing 300 ml and 7 L bottles on the same machine. APF-Max 3U makes it possible due to the modular concept!
APF-Max blow molder is equipped with the special short-wave near infrared heating system (NIR). It is not a common method for the PET blow molding market, though preform heating is more efficient with less kilowatts being consumed. The advantages of NIR heating system for PET bottles production:
- Uniform temperature distribution between the inner and outer parts of preform wall;
- Reduced heating time;
- Compact heater size;
- Reduced energy consumption of blow molder.
The company will also exhibit its rotary blow molds. The 4 and 5 axes CNC machining centres obtain a mold surface shining as if it were a mirror.
This year, the company acquired one more Mikron Mill S600U with spindle processing speed 42,000 rev/min. After this machine tool, the blow mold surface does not need any additional polishing. The advantages to customers are:
- Blow molds lead time reduced to 2 – 3 weeks;
- Blow molds production capacity doubled;
- Impeccable quality.
Visitors to the PET Technologies stand at drinktec will also be inspired by the unique ideas for bottle design developed by the company. For more visit Stand C5.332 at drinktec or pet-eu.net or Contact us and get a free day pass!
