The article ends with a detailed description of APF-Max 8, highlighting all its features that make it different and special machine on the market.
The global recognition of PET Technologies continues to grow and we are aiming to reach new heights this year!
The Packaging Insights, one of the biggest platforms and publishers for all packaging-related insights, news, and developments, wrote about PET Technologies in its latest highlight from the BrauBeviale trade show. Packaging Insights provides in-depth reports, coverage of significant trade shows, and interviews with key players in the industry.
The article, titled “BrauBeviale 2023: Recycling, brewery, and bioreactor tech innovations take center stage,” was published on the Packaging Insights website on December 8, 2023. It features an overview and interviews from filling, blow molding, and processing machinery developments. PET Technologies is highlighted first in the article.
At the beginning of the article, there is a quick overview of PET Technologies and our products. At the event, PET Technologies showcased its cutting-edge APF-Max 2 blow molding machine.
A key highlight from the article is PET Technologies dedication to addressing the increasing demand for 100% recycled PET bottles. Maxim Poliansky, the CEO of PET Technologies, shared insights during an interview at the show, stating, “Actually, there are more and more customers on the market who intend to produce fully recycled PET bottles, and our machines are well designed for these kinds of preforms to produce good bottles.”
Notably, PET Technologies recently supplied its innovative solutions to a customer based in Hawaii, known for using volcanic water in its beverage solutions. This customer exclusively employs 100% PET bottle preforms, aligning with its commitment to address ocean plastic waste. Maxim Poliansky elaborated, “So we have a special machine design that can easily work with these recycled materials.”
We are proud to be recognized by Packaging Insights for our contributions at BrauBeviale 2023, and we look forward to continuing our commitment to sustainability, innovation, and excellence in the packaging industry.

PETpla.net Insider has published an article “A new peak: APF-6004 blow moulder at Sairme Mineral Waters”. It is about a fruitful cooperation between PET Technologies and a bottling company from Georgia.
It all started back in 2015 when Sairme Mineral Waters was looking for a reliable supplier of blow molds for 6-10L bottles. PET Technologies was already a strong company suggesting the best value for money on the market.
Sairme was even more than satisfied with the quality and ordered another set of molds for up to 2L bottles in 2017 alongside with updated bottle design. The blow moulding process was taken into consideration. This is how they received a practical PET bottle.
Partnership has peaked in 2019 when the decision was made to purchase PET Technologies blow molding machine. Sairme Mineral Waters Ltd have chosen a 3rd generation APF-6004 blow molder to produce small bottles.
PET Technologies’ APF-6004 has reached the heart of one of the biggest resorts in Europe – Sairme. Startup and commissioning was successful and now SBM is working full cycle.
This cooperation means PET Technologies is a trusted supplier of turnkey blow molding solutions! We are always ready for further partnerships!

Industry edition PETpla.net has published an article titled PET bottle design: merging creativity and technology. It is based on over 20 years of PET Technologies experience in the field.
We all know that packaging is one of the most important components of the whole product. How it looks and feels is some kind of communication with the customer. It can literally influence the sale from the shelf.
Sharp lines remind you of glacier peaks while soft edges will seem like water carved stones. What is important here is even material distribution. That is where PET Technologies R&D technicians step in. We are taking into consideration SBM and filling line restrictions as it is immensely important for us as manufacturers to deliver quality service in whatever product we produce.
Design is not the only thing that matters. We live in the 21st century and we care about our environment more than ever. You can reduce bottle weight using a lighter preform with a smaller neck finish alongside saving or even improving the overall look of the bottle. As Steve Jobs once said: “Design is not just what it looks like. Design is how it works.”

Plastics Hotline has recently posted an article about PET Technologies – European manufacturer of blow molding solutions. The editorial highlighted features of the 4th generation of PET stretch blow molders APF-Max.
Flexible, easy to operate, modern and innovative.
The machine has 6 basic models and 5 modifications to meet various of production goals. Why flexible? Because if the need is 4 cavities for the start, it is not a limit. If company expands and requires producing more bottles, it is possible to install additional cavities in order to increase output up to 14000bph.
Variety of preform neck standards. The ability to produce bottles from 0.1L to 6L.
Quick changeover. Blow mold changeover time is around 15 minutes. 4 minutes for mandrels changeover in 8 cavity machine.
APF-Max is the embodiment of modernity. Soft lines and breathing colors. Equipped with B&R PLC that can be placed literally anywhere. The program and manuals are available in any language that customer needs.
Double air recovery system, reduced heating time, reduced energy consumption, shortwave NIR system and many other features that prove – future is real, new generation of PET stretch blow molders APF-Max confirm it.

Not long ago PET Technologies has extended the 4th generation of PET stretch blow molders APF-Max with new models. Now the output varies between 3000 and 14 000 bph, while the bottle volume is between 0.1 and 6 L. The product range includes 6 basic models and 5 extra.
Definitely, its flexibility attracts industry. Several editions focused on plastics have covered the topic. What do they highlight?
Plastics Machinery & Manufacturing has published an article “PET Technologies expands blow molding machine line”. Bruce Geiselman, the author, says: “The machines also are more versatile. For example, an APF-Max four-cavity machine can make bottles as small as 100 milliliters, but it can be converted to a two-cavity machine capable of manufacturing 6-liter bottles.”
All these machines have option to produce Hot Fill bottles. Only 15 minutes are enough to change a mold and start to produce another type of container. Just imagine how much time PET bottle converters can save!
Packaging world has published an article “Stretch Blow Molding Machine Line Increases Product Range”. The material explains the notions of user-friendly concept and innovative design, flexibility and all-electric configuration in terms of the 4th generation of SBM machines APF-Max developed by PET Technologies.
The author says: “108 mandrels in the heater of 8-cavity blow molder you can change in just 4 minutes”. Short wave near infrared heating system (NIR) makes preform heating more efficient, consuming less energy.
As we know, competitiveness demands flexibility. The 4th generation of blow molders APF-Max meets this demand and opens you new opportunities in PET bottles manufacturing!
