CYPET to show at K 2016 the biggest (50 ltr) PET containers

CYPET claims that its largest K 53 machine model is capable of producing up to 100 Litres PET containers. Such containers can replace HDPE drums, especially for single-trip applications, resulting in significant weight reduction, with the corresponding substantial savings in raw material cost. 

A new innovation currently under development from CYPET will also be shown at K 2016, claimed to be a revolutionary handle concept for PET bottles, with the same functionality and convenience that HDPE bottle handles have. This is a patent pending, incorporated PET handle, which is moulded into the preform, resulting in PET bottles that can successfully challenge HDPE bottles with handles, for sizes ranging from 1 to 30 Litres. 

With CYPET’s new handle concept, the bottle is produced ready with the handle in one step on a CYPET single-stage machine, eliminating the need to separately mould handles from a different polymer and also the need for a second operation of feeding the handles into the blow moulds during blowing or clipping the handles onto the blown bottles. Also recycling is easier with new handles concept, since bottle and handle are made from the same PET material. 

CYPET will also show at K 2016 its new range of preform moulding systems, which incorporate an innovative post cooling system, making it ideal for thick preforms for large bottle sizes (5 – 30 Litres). CYPET’s preform moulding system is based on an injection mould with two sets of cores and two post cooling stations with two sets of cooling tubes each. This provides intensive preform cooling for two cycles on the injection cores, for one cycle in the injection cavities and for four cycles in the post-cooling tubes. 

CYPET preform moulding systems are available with 2, 4, 6 or 8 cavities, for preforms up to 11 mm thick for up to 30 Litre bottles.
