(FPD) -- A new two-step, reheat
stretch-blow molding machine could speed the industry’s transition from glass to
light-weight PET for wide-mouth, hot-fill food containers, claims to
its manufacturer, Atlanta-based Nissei ASB.
The HSB-6M molding machine enables the production of PET jars which can be
filled at temperatures above 90 deg C (194 deg F). The hot-fill PET jars deliver
a major weight reduction and many sustainability advantages over glass including
reduced freight costs and lower carbon footprint.
The new machine can produce 300ml to 600ml hot-fill PET jars with standard
63mm diameter, twist-off neck finishes at a production rate of 6000 jars per
hour.
