Swiss company Netstal is a global supplier of high-precision, high-speed plastic injection moulding machines with clamping forces of 500 to 8000kN. Since 1992, the Netstal brand has been a trademark of the KraussMaffei Group. As part of the KraussMaffei Group, Netstal has been producing injection moulding machines and manufacturing systems for the rapid and high-precision production of thin-walled plastic parts for the packaging industry for many decades.
Netstal's headquarters are located in Näfels in the Canton of Glarus. An area of about 72,000m² houses state-of-the-art production and assembly systems, office spaces for development, design, marketing and administration as well as spacious facilities for customer service, training and application technology.
For the PET sector Netstal offers system solutions for the production of preforms. Apart from PET solutions, the company offers systems for the production of closures for beverages and for the food or non-food areas.
Products / Technology
Preform systems
Netstal supplies injection moulding systems designed for producing preforms for PET bottles. Netstal supplies these machines under the names PET-Line of the Netstal brand and PETForm of the KraussMaffei brand for different output rates.
PET-Line (Netstal)
- 3 platforms with a clamping force of 2400, 4000 and 5000 kN
- Also available in two-component design for Overmolding
- Injection units tailored to the application
- 24–144 cavities
- Digitally controlled clamping unit with 5-point dual toggle lever
- 2-stage high-performance injection units with hybrid technology
- Innovative adaptive drive unit with optimal energy efficiency
- Modular system
- High performance potential
- Robust and reliable design
PETform (Krauss-Maffei)
- Vertical clamping unit delivers long-term precision The vertical clamping design ensures extremely high plate parallelism and minimizes wear of molds with up to 112 cavities.
- Immediate post-cooling for shorter cycles With its lock-to-lock time of only 2.0 seconds, the PETForm clamping system is a leading high-performance PET unit. 85% of the required cooling takes place in the separate 4-stage post-cooling station. This results in significantly lowered cycle times and high output performance.
- Optimized removal process – lowered energy consumption Thanks to the lightweight gripper unit, high process speeds can be achieved with minimal clamping movement. This in turn minimizes energy requirements and production costs.
- For 16 to 112 cavities The modular design of the two clamping units with clamping forces of 1,750 kN and 3,500 kN, combined with corresponding plasticizing units, make this the optimum system for any application scenario.
- Special screw geometries for rapid melting.
- Colour pigments, blockers or other blends can be added homogeneously at high throughputs without subjecting the melt to unnecessary shear forces.
- Compact
Applications
- Custom preforms such as wide-neck and pharmaceutical performs: Vertical technology used in machines from the PETForm series offers clear advantages in the production of custom preforms such as wide-neck and pharmaceutical preforms. In PETForm systems, these are removed in exactly the same way as standard preforms. Additional devices for the demolding of custom preforms are thus rendered redundant and costly system modifications are unnecessary
- Standard preforms for beverage packaging. Around 80% of PET packaging is used for carbonated soft drinks (CSD), still water and juices in the beverage industry worldwide. The Netstal platform strategy for PET production systems is targeted to meet a diverse range of complex market requirements.
- Hot-fill preforms
- Special preforms: These are either designed with a thickened neck area or undergo a special solidification process, which eliminates the risk of neck deformation resulting from the increased process temperature. Netstal offers hotfill perform systems with an optimized screw design and specialized plasticizing process
- PLA preforms
