Once upon a time, the speed of PET preform injection almost represented the technical level of PET injection molding machine suppliers. Nowadays, competition about speed seems to have come to an end. However, efforts to reduce the weight of PET bottles seem never to end.
At K2007, the new ultra-light PET bottles introduced by the two bottle blowing manufacturers have enabled us to see the industry’s continuous efforts in this area. Lightweight, high-performance, easy-to-industrial new SIPA 10.9g bottle: to ensure the bottle's technical performance, product industrialization and product logistics and transportation are not affected, to achieve the most lightweight bottle, and to meet the customer's product design personality The possibility of the demand for chemical is SIPA's goal to develop a 10.9g bottle for normal water and air-entrained water. At K2007, SIPA introduced a very light 0.5l bottle that satisfies these factors. In particular, since the base is designed with a petal design, this container is also suitable for packaging of air-entrained water, and its design can withstand pallet packaging requirements. In addition, this new container can be easily industrialized using existing machines, and the original bottle caps and labels used by customers do not need to be replaced. According to reports, for this new container, SIPA can provide two different bottle types, which can be customized according to customers' special needs for appearance or vision. The ultra-lightweight 8.8g 0.5l bottle launched by Krones created a new low for this specification bottle weight. Based on environmental protection and cost reduction requirements, the market hopes that PET containers will be as light as possible while meeting performance requirements. The weight reduction of 0.1 g in a single bottle means huge annual material savings and cost reductions. All suppliers are looking forward to meeting this wonderful wish of the blow-molding industry. Now Krones has become one of the most successful ones. At K2007, Krones launched a 0.5l PET bottle weighing just 8.8g. This weight is currently the latest record for a global 0.5l bottle weight.
