PET Technologies to Present an Innovative Blower

This year PET Technologies launches an innovative PET stretch blow molding machine APF-Max

with the output up to 14000 bph, or 1750 bph from 1 cavity, to produce up to 3 lt

bottles.

Even at first sight PET stretch blow molding machine APF-Max is completely

different from all other PET Technologies product range. Streamline form and

alternative coloring, modular concept and controller that stands alone from the

machine are only few distinctive features.

Despite the new concept and high output APF-Max has compact overall

dimensions that make it easy to transport both by land and by sea to 5 continents.

PET Technologies service centers and representatives in Europe, Asia, North and

South America support with the maintenance and start-up.

This model is universal and easy to handle due to several basic features. Its output can vary

between 6000 and 14000 bph whereas the bottle capacity starts from 200 ml and increases up to 3000

ml. In other words, there are 4- , 6- and 8-cavity modifications. Thus 4 and 6-cavity option that permits to blow mold up to 3 lt PET

bottles. The blower is equipped with blow molds quick-change system.

Another feature to stand for APF-Max flexibility is a wide variety of preform neck types, which could be easily changed over.

PET bottles with the neck diameter between 18 mm and 48 mm can be produced at the same machine. This universal model also

has Hot Fill option. It is extremely important for customers who manufacture a wide range of PET containers volumes and

shapes.

The all-electric blow molding machine is equipped with the special short-wave near infrared heating system (NIR heating

system). This innovative method is not widely used on the PET blow molding market, but gives plenty of opportunities. Preform

is being heated more efficient with less kilowatts being used, and heater itself is significantly shorter. As the result blow molder

has higher output and more compact dimensions.

To cut a long story short, universal PET bottles automatic stretch blow molding machine APF-Max embodies PET Technologies

new development level. It coincides with new achievements, new markets, new approaches. And APF-Max has already found its

first customers.
