21 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 Compressors for PET bottle blowing Traditionally at this time of year, in the last issue of the year, our market overview of compressor manufacturers heralds our detailed reports on suppliers to the PET sector. Participants in this year’s report are the well known providers to the sector. CompAir is now part of Gardner Denver and therefore does not feature separately. A compressor is of course a complex piece of equipment, and a host of param- eters influence performance. Changes and developments in the compressor area are not so immediately apparent or spectacular, yet they are vital in stretch blow moulding. The information in this article has been provided by the companies themselves. Inevitably, we cannot compare in detail the machines of the various providers but instead we limit ourselves to describing a few parameters. For fuller information please contact the appropriate specialist in individual companies. Whilst the publishers have made every effort to ensure that the information is up to date, no claims are made regarding complete- ness or accuracy. 12/10 MARKET survey Company name Kaeser Kompressoren GmbH Neuman & Esser Deutschland GmbH &Co.KG Leobersdorfer Maschinenfabrik GmbH & Co.KG Gardner Denver Ltd - Belliss & Morcom Postal address Telephone number Web site address Contact name Function Direct telephone number Fax E-Mail Carl-Kaeser-Str. 26, 96450 Coburg, Germany +49 9561/640-0 www.kaeser.com Wolfgang Hartmann Marketing Manager +49 9561/640-252 +49 9561/640-890 wolfgang.hartmann@kaeser.de D-52531 Übach-Palenberg Germany +49 2451-481-01 www.neuman-esser.com Siegfried Meyer Sales Manager +49 2451481121 +49 2451481139 siegfried.meyer@neuman-esser.de Suedbahnstrasse 28 2544 Leobersdorf, Austria +43 2256 9001 www.
