It allowed 72-cavity tools to be run on a 300 t Tool (at least a display model) was shown on the stand (as reported in issue At the following K trade show, a 144-cavity micro-pitch Husky, expressed hesitation with regard to taking up the 144-cavity challenge In issue 9 Robert Schad, back then CEO of Preform system for many years in issue 8, with a 24-cavity tool from Otto We featured the first vertical Krauss-Maffei The machine was shown at that year’s K show. Netstal’s new 144-cavity preform system with a cycle time of less than 11 secįor a 20.8 g preform. Cycle times of 14-16 sec for preforms with wall thicknesses of 3.0-3.6 mm With this, a 7 sec cycle time could be achieved for 0.5 l preforms. Quad Index machine as a further development of the Index range introduced inġ997. Swedish company produced 70 million preforms for 0.5 l bottles for Coca Cola. Recycled material was used for the inner layer. System was presented by Demag and installed at Kulleborn & Stenström in Highlights 1999-2019, as reported in PETplanet Insider 1999 Preform developments, the last topic of our jubilee year series!

Nissei ASB developed the 1.5 step moulding method, in which preforms are Stretch-blow moulding machinery in a second step. The finished preforms with aĬomplete neck can then be re-heated and stretch blow moulded into bottles in Preform heat from the injection or injection-compression process to blow mouldīottles into an equal number of blow cavities.Ģ-step process, preforms are manufactured on injection moulding machines as aįirst step by melting and moulding the PET resin. PET resin is melted and moulded into a bottle in one machine, using residual Processes can be carried out independently using different machinery (2-stage PET bottles, preforms have to be manufactured and stretch blow moulded.
