The PET Technologies APF-10 is an automatic reheat stretch blow molding machine for PET containers from 3 to 10 litres. Manufacturer data lists up to 2,500 bottles per hour for 3 to 8-litre formats and up to 1,800 bottles per hour for 10-litre bottles. These figures depend on the selected container, preform and operating configuration. The machine uses eight-zone preform heating, servo-driven transfer of heated preforms, separate valve blocks for each mold cavity and B&R PLC control. Compressed-air recovery and an oriented bottle outfeed support integration into a production line. The published installed power is 68 kW, with a 400 V, 50 Hz supply. Typical applications include water and edible-oil containers. New equipment is offered to order, with the bottle mold, utilities and line interface agreed for the application.

The PET Technologies APF-30 L is an automatic stretch blow molding machine for PET kegs and large watercooler bottles. The manufacturer also identifies this version as APF-30 250 and specifies output of up to 250 bottles per hour. Applications include one-way and returnable 4 to 5-gallon water bottles, with the container design and preform selected for the intended use. The machine is designed to heat heavy, thick-walled preforms before stretching and blowing. Its features include servo-driven stretching, preform transfer manipulators, additional bottle-base cooling, compressed-air recovery and an oriented bottle outfeed. B&R PLC control manages the automated process. PET kegs and watercooler bottles can be produced on the same machine model with the appropriate tooling and setup. This listing is for new equipment supplied to order. Confirm the bottle specification, tooling, utilities and achievable output with PET Technologies. Price is available on request.
