PET Processing - Injection Molding | Plastics Technology

Husky says the system started up by CML Biotech Ltd. of India is the first of its ICHOR units to be deployed in the field.

At K 2022, SACMI exhibited its latest PET preform injection molding machine, as well as quality control via integrated vision and rPET molding specialization.

Husky’s new HyPET Complete is a connected production cell for molding preforms developed to address ongoing challenges faced by food and beverage packaging producers.

With sustainability top-of-mind in the plastics industry, this was a ground-breaking show for builders of recycling equipment. It also prompted new thinking in thinwall injection molding.

Trexel and Husky are cooperating on molding recyclable opaque white preforms for PET bottles, which provide a light barrier using foam instead of pigment.

Nissei ASB will debut at K 2022 a 100-ton vertical rotary press for PET preforms in 18 to 36 cavities.

Easier label separation, higher rPET content, Industry 4.0 digitalization options, lighter CSD bottles, and more at German trade fair.

Netstal expands its PET-LINE series introducing a 306 metric ton (m.t.) version with side entry at drinktec.

Prevent scratching of PET preforms during bulk packaging and handling with a new system for spraying a lubricant coating on the preforms.

Netstal’s new PET-LINE has changed from top entry and post-mold cooling above the clamping unit to side entry and cooling alongside the press, offering compatibility to lateral removal tools and after-cooling stations.

SACMI’s new Preform Vision System can be used inline with PET preform injection molding.

Help with overhauls, maintenance, machine installations, startups, etc. is now priced for a wider market of PET blow molders.

SACMI will show its latest for compression, injection and blow molding—mainly of PET.

Customers want more PCR—including food grade—than recyclers can supply. Solutions involve efforts to educate customers, employees, and the community at large. New technologies also offer hope.

Blazing speed plus shrinking energy consumption supported the “green” theme at the big show. Smarter controls and growing connectivity were another key focus.

‘Circular Economy’ joins Industry 4.0 as common themes of injection molding exhibits in Düsseldorf.

Husky’s Multi-Layer Experience Center will be a highlight of its booth.

This family firm distinguishes itself in a commodity market by offering numerous ways to customize its stock products.

John Bozzelli’s workshop; RocTool’s Open House; an interview with Bruce Main; and insights from conference co-chairs Matt Naitove and Tony Deligio.
