More efficiency of blow moulding line with automatic handle applicators
Moving from HDPE to eye-catching PET bottles with inserting handles automatically with And&Or handle applicator machines: by inserting the handle outside the mould, the speed of the packaging line can be much higher. The system is appropriate to be installed in the existing blowing/filling/packaging line. Finally, the high-quality PET bottle is more attractive because the handle can be coloured.
And&Or applicators were developed with specialised technology allowing the automatic insertion of different types of handles. They are adaptive for low, medium or high-speed lines, with different sort of operation: rotary, interval linear or continuous linear. And&Or offers a wide range of handle insertion machine systems, approaching state of the art premium application technology to bottlers and bottle manufacturers willing to transition to PET handle-ware containers.
And&Or will offer brands expertise and professional advice in all the transition, accompanying the customer throughout the complete process with support in the design and conception of the handle, bottle, preform specs, etc. with a team of design members and partners to ensure a successful and cost effective final handle-ware bottle.
