The progress of PET in becoming the material of choice for beverage bottles has been very rapid. Today, it is widely used and preferred over other materials such as PVC, glass, aluminum cans, etc. PET is a rugged, light, inexpensive packaging solution that is also “green”. PET bottles can be recycled. It is a big plus that PET bottles do not go to landfills but find their way back to the market.
The market for used PET beverage machinery is a busy one because of the advantages offered by PET in the manufacture of consumer packaging and bottles.
PET bottles are manufactured using preforms and blow molding machines.
The preform injection molding machines use either a one-step or two-step method. The one-step method is an integrated process in which the entire sequence from PET granule to finished bottle is carried out on a single machine. The two-step process uses two machines to achieve the same result.
Husky is the world’s leading brand of injection molding equipment and services. Its products and maintenance services cover the entire globe.

The platform consists of a hot runner, mold, machine, robot and post-mold cooling.
