Traditionally, more compact stack heights required a 2-platen design. The PET-Series, however, maintains its 3-platen design to preserve all the advantages associated with that configuration. The 3-platen design, specifically for PET applications, helps improve geometric thermal balancing and reduce plate bowing to enhance preform quality.
By offering a more compact stack height, molders can run the system on a wider range of machines, including older generations, that have stack height limitations of 260mm. Minimum nozzle pitch of the PET-Series is not affected and remains the same as regular 3-plate designs.
