Compressors
Producing PET bottles requires vast amounts of compressed air – and compres-
sors deliver it under extreme conditions of pressure, heat and constant opera-
tion. The success of every blowing process depends on their ability to supply a
clean, stable flow of air at precisely the right pressure. In this market survey, we
feature leading compressor manufacturers and their product ranges:
Compressors
Shrinkfilm & palletising machinery
Recycling machinery
AF Compressors, Siad Macchine Impianti, ABC Compressors, Kaeser Kompres-
soren, Atlas Copco and Adekom Asia Pacific Limited.
Although the publishers have made every effort to ensure that the information in this survey are up to date, no claims are
made regarding completeness or accuracy.
