See you there! Fakuma 2015 Friedrichshafen, Germany Hall A6, Stand 6501 moulds, whereas Mumbai is predominantly responsible for the types of machine offering higher outputs and featuring more strongly standardised technology. The ASB-12M has also been manufactured here since the end of 2012. This machine is basically a further development of the popular ASB-50 model introduced in 1981, which was followed by the ASB-50MB and ASB-12N/10 models, finally culminating in the ASB-12M. Main applications include cosmetics, pharmaceu- ticals and small liquor bottles. “This machine is highly economical in operation, and that makes it popular with start-up companies. At the same time the containers produced are of very good quality. In addition to the start-up companies we also have a number of customers who continue to invest in addi- tional ASB-12M’s as they grow to extend their fleet” says Mr Yoshizawa. Together we take a look at the thick base PET jar. One of its striking features is its design which is so close to that of competi- tors in the glass industry that initially it is not possible to identify any differences in terms of optics and haptics. Only the fact that the surface feels warmer and the injection point give the game away. Kota Aoki chips in: “What you see here is the result of years of experience in the area of machinery and moulds in different materials for the cosmetics industry. This kind of product is the complete opposite of lightweight and mass production PET and caters for groups of users in the high end product range whose requirements and margins make packaging of this sort a necessity. The thick base jar represents the next step when it comes to imitating glass”. Nissei ASB showcased the concept for the first time at the IPF2014 in Japan and is now doing so for the second time at Chinaplas. One essential part of the technology behind the thick base is the cooling concept, as well as the movable injection core during injec- tion moulding and optimised cooling during conditioning and stretch blow moulding. “Because mould technology is involved here, it can also be utilised on many of ASB’s other models“, adds Mr Aoki. www.nisseiasb.co.jp
