TRADE SHOW PREVIEW 73 PET planet Insider Vol. 17 No. 10/16 www.petpla.net Flexibility as a concept For most PET converters, the overall market is growing while average bottle quanti- ties per contract are getting smaller. This means a variety of different orders have to be produced within the same time frame, for example to include different neck types. To meet such demand- ing circumstances, increased flexibility is the only way forward. 1 Blow PET blow-moulding machines perfectly meet the demands of this changing market with preferential heating, neck orientation, hotfill and deep grip, which can be installed on new as well as on existing machines (as upgrades). In other words, the machine’s investment is perfectly in accordance with the market’s expectations. The 1 Blow range is being continually expanded with the 2XLS and 4XLS types, allowing bottles of 5l and 1 gallon to be produced.All types of existing moulds are inter- changeable. www.1blow.com 1 Blow Hall 13 Booth C85 Colour explorers Repi is attending K2016 with a new image and com- munication approach, in line with the company’s expansion strategy.
