Netstal with two pet-world premieres to the drinktec 2013
Netstal is strengthening its leading market position worldwide by expanding its PET product range. As a world premiere, the Swiss machine manufacturer will present the new PET-LINE 2400 for the first time at the drinktec 2013 in Munich during september 16 to 20, 2013 in Hall B3, Booth 339. At the same time, the new PET-LINE 4000 will be available for individual inspection at works in Näfels.
production and energy efficiency. With the new PET-Line 2400, Netstal
now has an extensive product range as well as comprehensive application
and system expertise for beverage bottles and caps.
At the drinktec Netstal will demonstrate the manufacture of a 0.5 l
lightweight preform on the PET-LINE 2400. The Swiss-based company Otto
Hofstetter is collaborating as a partner for the mold. The molded part
is produced in a total cycle time of just 5.4 seconds using a 72-cavity
mold. The Italian-based company Piovan is responsible for the material
processing and the air dryer. Devices from the Swiss company ef-cooling
will take care of the cooling.
– We are currently experiencing increasing customer demand for
high-quality beverage bottles and caps. Customers are increasingly
appreciating the fact that we are able to develop the right system
solution with the right system for specific applications. Thanks to our
high level of expertise and power of innovation, we can guarantee
maximum cost effectiveness and the most efficient production for our
customers, explains Markus DalPian, Head of Business Unit PET. Focus on
the customer applications is top priority.
An extensive, close-knit partner network means that Netstal's turnkey
system solutions are geared toward top quality, the shortest cycle
times and the lowest material costs.PET-LINE 2400.
With the new PET-LINE 2400 as well as the new PET-LINE 4000, Netstal is
responding to the global trends for continuous improvement of
production and energy efficiency. Great emphasis is also placed on
material, and hence, cost savings. Hydromechanically driven axes with
state-of-the-art valve and control technology as well as a further
increase in throughput performance of the injection unit make it
possible for Netstal to reduce cycle times again, hence massively
increasing output capacity. Thanks to the use of the innovative "Eco
Powerunit" drive technology and the possibility of recovery in the
intermediate circuit, energy savings of up to 10 percent can be
realized at the same time. The parts-removal unit with the 2400kN and
4000kN clamping force variables of the PET-LINE series has been
reworked and further optimized simultaneously. This now also offers
exchange sets compatible with PET-LINE 3500.
