PET BOTTLES

           While  PET  bottle development was proceeding in the  US,  a large  manufacturer of injection moulding machines in Japan,  was leading a project to develop a machine to make biaxially oriented PP (polypropylene) containers. They recognized that the prototype machine  could  be used to produce the new PET  bottles  and,  in December  1975,  the  One-stage ASB-150  injection  stretch  blow moulding machine for making the new biaxial oriented PET  bottles was  unveiled.  All  one-stage injection  stretch  blow  moulding machines  derived  from  this original Stretch  Blow  design  are referred  to  as classic one-stage machines, as the  concept  has long since been extended into other PET developments. The classic one-stage machines design is extremely versatile in that the same basic  machine  design  can be used to make  a  wide  variety  of bottles and jars in all shapes and sizes, which was the  standard single-stage  machine in the early years, had eight cavities  for 1.5 litre bottles.
