With the reduced pitch, the mass of the mould is reduced allow- ing for shorter lock to lock times and some saving in the energy used for platen motion. The lower mould pitch also results in lower pressure drop, preserva- tion of material IV, energy saving and a wider process temperature window of 200-300 °C. This allows the usage of PET as well as biodegradable PET substi- tutes or PP likewise. www.petform.net Manjushree mould products: ASSP mould: This is a 9.68 gm capacity preform with 50ml pack.
