Engineering Excellence Low production costs Maximum output At Netstal our aim is to help you produce the perfect PET preforms: at minimum cycle times you achieve maximum output with constantly high quality and energy efficiency. And that’s no coincidence: our team of experts are always there for you – with state-of-the-art systems. www.netstal.com demonstrates this outside the pro- duction shop, too, through its long- term cooperation with the Central/ North Black Forest Nature Park for the conservation of the unique local countryside, for example. Or with its system of energy management, certi- fied according to ISO 50001. “We can simply read off the history of the heat- ing costs for the modernised system on the electricity meter and document the significant savings,” he claims. Schanz adds that KHS converted the line quickly and competently without affecting system operation. Since the end of last year the revamped heater box has been running trouble-free. Through the amount of energy saved, investing in a modernisation of the InnoPET Blomax Series III pays off for users after one to three years depending on the line’s capacity utili- sation and the price of electricity. KHS offers the conversion for both versions of the Blomax Series II: the modular or the compact. “For many compa- nies, energy-optimised PET stretch blow moulders are an excellent way of reducing production costs,” says Goebel. He expects more orders for this sustainable KHS conversion prod- uct in 2016. www.mineralbrunnen-kgaa.de www.khs.com The heater boxes are distinguished by new reflectors made of modern ceram- ics and a precisely adjusted geometry.
