PET-LINE on the platform 3500
At the Chinaplas Netstal presentsthe professional public a demanding PET application. The heart of the highly profitable overall system is Netstal's widely acknowledgedPET-LINE, in this case based on the platform with 3500 kN clamping force covering moulds with 48 to 128 cavities. „With this high-grade machine Netstal offers an excellent solution to cope with the rising demand from the beverages and foodstuffs industry, increasingly also from the Chinese market“, explains Thomas Anderegg, Head ofMarketing, Sales and Application Technology at Netstal. Numerous optimizations such as the simplified product removal and aftercooling unit or the increased injection pressure to shorten the cycle time make the PET-LINE a highly economical system solution for the production of PET preforms. The machine model on show at the Chinaplas is equipped with a 128-imp. mould of Hofstetter AG from Switzerland. Material handling and dry air for the inside of the mould are in the care of Messrs Eisbär of Austria who have developed the Drypack system especially for the PET-LINE.

Global marketing and sales of the highly efficient PET equipment are centrally coordinated by Netstal under the Netstal PET-LINE and KraussMaffei PETForm brands to perfectly meet the particular customer's requirements.I'm confident that this step strengthens our appearance in the market and enables our customers to draw yet more advantage from the individual pluses“, saysAnderegg.
