Plastics Machinery & Manufacturing highlights PET Technologies participation at NPE2024

If you’ve been keeping up with our news over the past few months, you may have noticed an increase in coverage about PET Technologies across various industry media outlets. This is doe to the innovations that we are implementing!

On April 23, 2024, the Plastics Machinery & Manufacturing edition published an article titled PET Technologies APF-Max3U is fast, efficient. It is one of the biggest media about plastic machinery in the US.

The article is structured into four main sections that detail the key features and characteristics of the machine: APF-Max 3U. What’s New? Benefits and Vital Statistics about the machine.

One of the other main points of the article is to inform the reader that PET Technologies will present this machine to the world at NPE2024 and PET Technologies booth is S11058.

The article starts with a comprehensive description of the APF-Max 3U, explaining its versatility in handling various volumes and its ability to accommodate different types of bottles. It highlights that, “Such bottles can be asymmetrical, returnable or refillable; made from color or glass-like PET or 100 percent recycled PET; or designed for hot-fill processes.”

The article then introduces a groundbreaking feature of the APF-Max 3U, noting that “The APF-Max3U is the first of PET Technologies’ machines that’s compatible with rotary blow molds — a significant advantage for converters.”

In the benefits section, the focus is on two main innovations. The first is the NIR heating system, a feature also present in other machines from the APF-Max series, renowned for its efficiency. As stated in the article, “The fully electric APF-Max3U is equipped with a near-infrared (NIR) heating system, so it heats up more quickly than machines with conventional infrared systems.”

The second feature discussed is the two-step air-recovery system, which enhances operational efficiency. According to the article, “The system recovers air after the main blowing action and sends it to the control system.”

The article ends with the description of Vital Statistics for APF-Max 3U. They are: Machine dimensions, Weight, Blowing pressure, Number of possible cavities, Possible preform neck diameters, Maximum throughput and Products that can be contained in bottles produced by the machine

We thank Plastics Machinery & Manufacturing for such extensive coverage of the APF-Max 3U, and we invite you to look at this machine from May 6 to May 10 at NPE2024.

More articles about PET Technologies are to come, please look forward to them!
