==== M-PET for preform production ==== | |||
The Milacron PET System marks Milacron’s re-entry to the PET market. The system is based on the fast Ferromatik toggle clamp and newly designed two stage injection units. The machine and post mould cooling is almost entirely driven by servo motors with hydraulics only used for ejection and injection. This means the M-PET system is the lowest user of energy to mold preforms. The system is also designed to accept legacy moulds from other vendors. | The Milacron PET System marks Milacron’s re-entry to the PET market.

==== Co-injection moulding ==== | |||
Milacron Co-injection multi-layer technology is designed for multi-layer plastic preforms, closures or containers that can be delivered with the same high-volume production efficiency and cycle time as a monolayer plastic preform, closure or container without barriers. Milacron Co-injection molding addresses key concerns in the industry, including economical use of barrier materials (as low as 0.5%), preforms with customizable barrier properties, and uniform distribution (lengthwise and around the leading edge of barrier). | |||
Milacron Co-injection three-layer preform technology combines PET with the latest barrier and oxygen scavenging resins. The finished PET multi-layer container can offer as much as 60 times the oxygen barrier performance of a monolayer PET container, thus providing superior shelf life of the product. Typical applications are: | |||

Milacron Co-injection uses a proprietary, simultaneous co-injection process with every system. This process allows the cavity to be filled in exactly the same amount of time as a basic monolayer injection molding process. The “heart” of each system is the Milacron Co-injection melt delivery system whose function is to force melted resin into a mold cavity. The melt delivery system has separate streams (flow channels) for skin (the inner and outer layers) and core (the middle barrier layer) materials. | Milacron Co-injection uses a proprietary, simultaneous co-injection process with every system.
