New model APF-Max 2l from PET Utilized sciences is a compact, two-cavity, all-electric machine for stretch-blowing PET bottles as a lot as 3L. Provide: PET Utilized sciences
Making its public debut on the BrauBeviale 2024 current in Nuremberg, Germany, is an all-electric, linear, two-stage stretch-blow molding machine with two cavities and manufacturing of PET bottles from 0.2L to 3L at as a lot as 3,500 bph. The model APF-Max 2L is the most recent addition to the APF-Max assortment from PET Utilized sciences of Austria. The “2” signifies the number of cavities; there are moreover APF-Max fashions 3, 4, 6 and eight. The “L” designation stands for “huge” and signifies functionality to blow bottles as a lot as 3L, vs. spherical 2 L for the same old fashions. APF-Max machines are all-electric, aside from the pneumatic APF-Max 2.
Key choices of the APF-Max 2L embrace energy effectivity, due to its all-electric design and NIR heating system, which is claimed to provide sooner heating of PET preforms with lower energy consumption, along with providing a shorter oven for a smaller basic footprint (roughly 11.3 × 8.8 × 6.2 ft.). It addition, the machine has two-step air restoration, enabling the blowing air (as a lot as 40 bar) to be used for preblowing the next bottle.
The machine will also be acknowledged to provide quick mould and product changeovers, and performance for respectable filling and processing 100% rPET. It has a B&R PLC controller and accepts preforms with neck finishes from 18 to 38 mm.
