Extrusion International features a success story by PET Technologies
“PET Bottles: Design for Highly Carbonated Drinks” is the name of the article that recently came out in the Extrusion International magazine.
Extrusion International Magazine is a specialized publication focusing on the plastics processing industry. This magazine covers a wide range of topics within the plastics processing industry, such as new technologies, industry news, innovative partnerships, and sustainability practices.
This article, featured in Extrusion International 1/2024, spans pages 32 to 34 and discusses our successful project with Cherkasy Brewery Company in Ukraine. It also highlights APF-Max 8, our most productive blowing machine, which we installed there.
The article briefly mentions the history of Cherkasy Brewery Company and discusses how they initially contacted us, their manufacturing requirements, and how APF-Max 8 fully satisfied their demand, producing 12,000 bottles per hour.
The article highlights how PET Technologies, with our 25 years of experience, assisted the client in modernizing the manufacturer’s bottles for beer and lemonade, turning customer design priorities into reality:
- “The updated bottle withstands internal pressure by 15-20% more than the old one;
- The weight is reduced by 1-5 grams; depending on the design, 30 tons less PET material will be used;
- The configuration of the bottom part developed by PET Technologies is implemented: it reduces the weight and withstands higher internal pressure;
- The optimal material distribution is achieved due to the NIR heating system, which the automatic blowing machine APF-Max 8 is equipped with.”
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!
