PREFORM PRODUCTION 15 PET planet insider Vol. 13 No. 03/12 www.petpla.net Panoramic view of the Sipa preform system any need for refurbish- ment. The robust design of the clamp unit leads to low mould wear too, while a similarly robust platen design minimizes deflec- tion. There are numerous other maintenance-friendly details on the machine too. Plastication Much attention has gone into the plasticating and injection system, based on a classical continuously-run- ning extruder/shooting pot configuration. The extruder operates efficiently at low revs, without the need for a static mixer. It can also handle up to 50% regrind without the need for special screw. The system is kitted out with auxiliaries from Piovan (PET dryer) and Eisbär (dry air system). Machine cooling is said to be highly energy- efficient. www.sipa.it 1050mm clearance between tie bars provides space between Sipa and competitors moulds ABC COMPRESSORS NEW PET RANGE THE MOST PROFITABLE AIR Safe Investment RELIABLE BEYOND LIMITS www.abc-compressors.com · Up to 5 years guarantee. · Special financial terms. · Plug&Play.
