PET Technologies to make a speech at ABC2024 Blow Molding Conference!

The year isn’t over yet, and neither is our PET Tour! This fall is shaping up to be an exciting season, with events across Europe and North America where PET Technologies will be prominently featured. Make sure to mark October 7-9 in your calendars for the ABC2024 39th Annual Blow Molding Conference in Atlanta, Georgia! PET Technologies will not only be attending but also presenting at this prestigious industry event.

Next month, guests from around the globe will gather at the Crowne Plaza Atlanta SW for one of the industry’s biggest events, the Annual Blow Molding Conference, hosted by The SPE Blow Molding Division. This event is a must-attend for professionals looking to stay up to date on innovations, market trends, and machinery developments in the blow molding world.

As an industry leader, PET Technologies will be taking center stage as one of the conference speakers, and we’ll also have our own booth—Booth 60—where you can meet us in person. This is a fantastic opportunity to dive into the latest insights we have to offer and to engage in a productive and pleasant atmosphere.

Our featured highlight will be the APF-Max series, the 4th generation of PET Technologies’ automatic linear blow molding machines. This ever-evolving line continues to add new models every year, designed to meet the changing needs of the market. From trends in bottle weight, design, and recyclability, to energy-efficient solutions, our machines are shaped by modern industry demands.

Here’s a sneak peek of what you’ll learn about the APF-Max series at the conference:

• NIR Heating System: PET Technologies was among the pioneers in implementing Near Infrared (NIR) heating in blow molding machines. NIR penetrates PET preforms efficiently and is particularly well-suited for reheating recycled PET (rPET) material, which has become a critical focus in recent years. You’ll hear how this system not only enhances production efficiency but also saves significant energy costs.
• Compact, Space-Saving Designs: The APF-Max machines come in various sizes, ensuring that no matter the scale of your production, you can optimize floor space.
• Quick Changeover: Time is money, and the APF-Max series is designed with that in mind. You’ll learn about the quick changeover process for blow molds and preform formats, which minimizes downtime and boosts productivity, a crucial advantage in high-demand environments.
• New Models, New Features: The latest additions to the APF-Max family—like the APF-Max 3U and APF-Max 2L—bring even more flexibility and innovation to the table. Whether you’re producing bottles up to 3 or 10 liters in size or scaling production as a bottle manufacturer, these models are equipped with the features you need to stay ahead.

The other thing for you to see and listen to is PET Technologies blow molds. We produce blow molds for all types of machines—whether semi-automatic, automatic, or rotary—and we are trusted partners for many corporations worldwide when it comes to blow molds. Why? It’s our unique approach. Our turn-key PET bottle project includes custom bottle design, prototyping, laboratory testing, and blow mold set production, allowing us to deliver the perfect PET bottle with the required specifications. Rest assured, you’ll hear more about this at the conference—along with a few new directions you might not expect from us!

Join us at the conference to experience all this and more! For those unable to attend, don’t worry—we’ll be sharing highlights of the event afterward, or you can always reach out to us directly with any questions.
