ISBM production revolutionised with CYPET’s new PRO machines
IN THE FAST-EVOLVING world of plastic packaging, where sustainability, efficiency and flexibility are paramount, CYPET Technologies has emerged as a game-changer with its PRO Series injection stretch blow moulding (ISBM) machines. This cutting-edge lineup is redefining the industry by combining high productivity, cost efficiency and eco-conscious innovation, offering manufacturers a competitive edge in a dynamic market.
The PRO Series is setting a new standard for single-stage blow molding and how it’s empowering businesses to thrive.
A leap forward
The PRO Series represents the pinnacle of CYPET’s innovation, building on the strengths of single-stage blow moulding while addressing the limitations of traditional systems. Unlike the conventional two-stage process, which separates injection moulding and blow moulding, the PRO Series integrates injection, partial cooling, conditioning and stretch-blowing into one seamless, energy-efficient machine.
The result? Outputs of up to 11,000 bottles per hour, rivalling the productivity of two-stage linear machines while slashing energy consumption and production costs.
This efficiency translates into a compelling financial advantage: a payback period of just 1.5 to 2 years. By combining high productivity with sensible equipment pricing, the PRO Series ensures a rapid return on investment, shielding manufacturers from market risks like shifting regulations or customer demands. For businesses looking to stay agile in an unpredictable landscape, this is a critical edge.
Unmatched flexibility
One of the standout features of the PRO Series is its remarkable adaptability. The PRO model range is capable of producing containers ranging from 20ml to an impressive 50 litres. These machines cater to a vast array of applications, from small bottles to large jars. Whether you’re manufacturing beverage bottles, edible oil containers, or wide-mouth jars, the PRO Series delivers with a mould change.
But the flexibility doesn’t stop there. In periods of low blow moulding demand, the PRO Series can function as a standard injection moulding machine, producing caps or preforms to maximize equipment utilization. This versatility allows manufacturers to serve diverse customers and markets without investing in multiple specialised machines, making it a cost-effective solution for plastics converters.
Sustainability at the core
In an era where plastic packaging faces scrutiny for its environmental impact, the PRO Series shines as a beacon of sustainability. Designed with a focus on polyethylene terephthalate (PET) processing, these machines leverage PET’s excellent recyclability and mechanical properties. PET can be easily separated from mixed waste, reused as regrind, or recycled into granules with properties comparable to virgin material, making it ideal for a circular economy.
The PRO Series takes sustainability further with its patent-pending precise temperature control system, which ensures controlled heating along the length and perimeter of the preform. This innovation not only enhances bottle quality but also enables light-weighting – reducing the amount of plastic used without compromising strength.
Additionally, the PRO Series addresses the ergonomics challenge of PET containers by enabling the production of bottles with integrated handles, a feature historically difficult and costly to achieve with PET. This capability allows manufacturers to transition from heavier materials like HDPE to lighter, more sustainable PET, aligning with consumer and regulatory demands for greener packaging.
Simplifying operations
Single-stage blow moulding machines have traditionally lagged behind their two-stage counterparts in productivity and ease of use. The PRO Series aims to change that narrative. Its high output and precise temperature control ensure consistently high-quality bottles, even in varying environmental conditions or with different materials. Unlike two-stage systems, which require complex logistics for storing and transferring preforms – often leading to delayed quality control issues – the PRO Series streamlines operations. PET resin is transformed directly into preforms and then blown into finished bottles, with quality issues detectable and addressable in real time. This minimises waste and simplifies production.
