Technical innovations in the blowing of PET containers

SMIGroup has recently launched the new generation of rotary stretch-blow molders, offering a series of important innovations:

- new preforms heating module (oven), with the preforms mandrels pitch reduced to 40mm; thanks to the new oven the machine output is increased by 20%, as compared to the previous models;

- new electrical panel, totally integrated in the blow-molder frame, thus eliminating the need of connection cables between the machine and the electrical panel and reducing the machine overall dimensions.
