17 Stretch blow moulding machinery Following our recent survey of producers of preform moulds and bottle moulds, in this latest issue we focus on manufac- turers of stretch blow moulding machines. The wide range of machines from individual suppliers reflects the very wide range of bottle designs and bottle sizes in use today. 16 suppliers from the Americas, the Far East and Europe are once again listed in our survey. It can be seen that there have in the meantime been some increases in machine outputs. Last year the maximum output per cavity per hour was 2,000 bottles, whereas now that figure has been exceeded by machines with an output of 2,200 bottles per blow mould per hour. 07+08/10 MARKET survey PET bottle-to-bottle recycling plants Caps and closures Conveyers for preforms and empty bottles Preforms Preform moulds and SBM moulds  Two-stage SBM machinery Preform and single stage machinery Resins and additives Filling equipment Compressors Company name Sipa Postal address Telephone number Web site address Contact name Function Direct telephone number Fax E-Mail Via Caduti Del Lavoro 3 +390438911511 www.sipa.it Giovanni Chiarotto Machinery Division Director +390438911511 +390438912273 Sipa@Zoppas.Com 1.
