The product portfolio includes ELIOS and ELION injection molding machines with clamping forces between 800 and 10,000 kN, PET-LINE preform systems for up to 144 cavities, and application-specific turnkey system solutions from a single source. He adds that there are always such issues as questions about quality, consistency, shipment delays and shipping damages, but notes that in PET resin, those same objections have been overcome. The traditional Swiss company NETSTAL stands internationally for leading high-performance injection molding machines and system solutions. Maddox reminds us that preforms (less than 1 liter) have a bulk density similar to PET pellets, so that shipping cube is economical. “We know for sure that Gatronova of Pakistan has world-class injection equipment and supplies preforms broadly within Pakistan. So, will preforms start being imported too? Maddox says, his company has received emails from several companies, mostly from China or India, who think they can sell preforms in the USA. The success of these continued PET imports lies in both their cheaper prices, adequate quality, and supply lines that were not that long. It can still be imported-especially to the West Coast, cheaper than domestic production being shipped to the West Coast because railcar freight west of the Rockies is at a high premium. However, Maddox points out that excess domestic capacity has not kept PET resin imports from growing, and in fact has continued since the 2005 production disruptions that resulted from the disastrous Hurricane Katrina. Now, he sees this as the biggest hurdle for imported preforms-that they are widely available at low cost domestically. So everyone tries really hard to keep preform injection going-even, if it means “dumping-off” preforms at or near cost. This creates problems for the purchasing department who does not meet their purchasing commitments and this runs the risk of not getting the best price discounts. And perhaps as important-lack of PET resin purchased, says Maddox. pet Preform design requires many different (often conflicting) parameters to be taken into consideration to produce the optimum design solution.
Idle preform injection molding capacity creates real problems including excess people, layoffs, and higher overhead per unit. CONTACT US Custom PET Preform Manufacturer When it comes to preforms, we find the optimum balance which delivers the best return on investment. “In other words-related specifically to PET preforms-even those who self-manufacture their own preforms and bottles have been trying to sell-off excess capacity to merchant container suppliers.” He further points to those companies who are solely in the preform manufacturing business, noting that they are “regularly squeezed from all sides”. Maddox says, there is excess PET resin, excess preform capacity for most generic sizes-like CSD (carbonated soft drinks) and water, as well as excess blow molding capacity at container suppliers like Amcor, Graham, Plastipak and Berry, and self-manufacturers like Coke and Pepsi. This is just another way we can help our customers get to market as quickly as possible,” noted DeeDee Kerr, VPET’s VP of Sales.The Power of Self-Emptying Technology for Extrusion Lines target globally markets and sold the products in Japan, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Australia, Europe and the USA The market share has. Now, with the addition of preform manufacturing here in the US, we are no longer at the mercy of port strikes, foreign holidays and the risk of damage in shipping. We’re able to produce smaller runs and use our preform library to create just about any custom bottle a customer might need.
“Our customers count on us as the speed leader in PET manufacturing. The addition of added preform manufacturing capability in the US allows VPET to solidify its promise to be the fastest, most responsive PET manufacturer in the marketplace. Welcome to Preform Solutions, Inc Founded in 2001, we are a custom PET preform molding company dedicated to serving our customers with high-quality products you wont find anywhere else. While VPET always has a large supply of preforms within the US, large orders and custom jobs often would require the production of preforms overseas.
The move is in response to growing demand for faster lead times and easier access. The preform is an article made of Polyethylene Terephthalate, commonly known as PET.It is normally manufactured using a mould on an injection system, which is subsequently blown into a container for edible or non-edible liquids (water, soft drinks, milk, alcohol, oils, detergents, personal care) on a blowmoulding system. VPET recently announced the addition of domestic preform manufacturing capabilities at its headquarters in Fontana, CA.
