Extrusion International 5-2017

19 Extrusion International 5/2017 system offers PET processors economic and ecological ben- efits: energy savings, lower logistics and process costs and higher profitability thanks to the direct link of the two sys- tems eliminating all the waste of the complete process. An- other unique selling proposition over conventional injection moulding is that lightweighting up to 8% is possible with the patented XTREME preform design. www.erema.com Trials carried out previously on the PET Inline Preform system showed that the weight consistency, viscosity and colour val- ues of the preforms – depending on flake quality – are on a par with those of virgin material. The new PET Inline Preform system combines the efficiency benefits of the proven VACUREMA technology from EREMA with the innovative XTREME preform production system of SIPA Photo credit: EREMA
