Tall but light: 28-21 ComPETCap

1:34 min Preform moulds
Hochheim/Main, Germany

The PCO 1881 med (ComPetCap) is 21 mm tall and only weighs 3.9g. This makes the new thread the lightweight alternative for owners of older bottling plants. Because they can often only be converted to a shorter thread length at high cost. Lightweight solutions are literally in everyone’s mouth and the bottle threads are constantly becoming shorter. After all, a weight saving of 1.3g per preform quickly amounts to hundreds of thousands of euros per year for major bottlers. However, a conversion – e.g. from PCO 1810 (5.1g / 21mm length) to PCO 1881 ISBT (3.8g / 17mm) – also means that bottling plants must be converted to be able to handle the new thread length. Here, up to 250,000 € in conversion costs are quickly incurred – money that can easily be saved using PCO 1881 med. And this at material savings which are almost as high as using the classical PCO 1881 ISBT!Comparison of PCO 1810, 28-21 ComPETCap-0 and PCO 1881    28-21 ComPETCap-0The 28-21 ComPETCap family:28-21 ComPETCap-0 28-21 ComPETCap-HOTRegion28-21 ComPETCap-PETCycle28-21 ComPETCap-REUse28-21 ComPETCap-FLATWater28-21 ComPETCap-HOTFill
