* 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. | * 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. | * 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.

* 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. | |||
