Our tech reduces the base thickness of a PET preform, removes gate crystallinity, allows the manifacture of longer preforms with thinner walls to reduce reheat energy by up to 40%.
About
GR8 Engineering specialises in improving processes and products for the plastics packaging and beverage markets.
Key Benefits
Active Flow Moulding (AFM) is a mould based technology that allows the manufacture of PET preforms with thinner bases and/or thinner walls, and faster cycle times with no gate crystallinity.
Applications
The target market is all PET preforms where we can remove 3% weight from al preforms.
