These are primarily hot fill applications here in North Amer- ica. Instances of aseptic fillings are thin on the ground. The backdrop is a broad existing fleet of stretch blow moulding machines. Instead of investing in expensive aseptic lines, existing stretch blow moulding machines undergo retrofits. “We profit from this by virtue of our blow mould construc- tion programme. Out of 75% stretch blow moulds, 45% are already hot fill applications, and the trend is rising,” says Walter Kuskowski. “We are anticipating a further increase of 15% over the next year in the blow mould sector.” Tar Tsau takes up the story: “We have developed and patented a stretch blow mould carrier system. Interchange- able insulating pats are incorporated in the mould carrier that go a long way towards preventing the mould carrier system from heating up and thus save energy. In addition, it is easy to adapt hot fill stretch blow moulding to different blow mould diameters. The insulating pats are designed correspondingly. The carrier system can be adapted to all traditional stretch blow moulding machines.” After a tour of the plant, we express our thanks for the candid discussions and resume our journey in the direction of Bolton, Ontario. www.wtbvc.com F.l.t.r.: Sergo Arango, B.Eng.
