Meeting the ever increasing PET quality demands of the beverage sector
BeverageDaily.com caught up with Italian packaging material developer Sacmi at Brau Beviale earlier this month to hear about the latest developments regarding its R&D work on compression moulding for PET preforms.

Lower cost, higher quality and productivity, and the potential for extended light weighting are benefits claimed for the continuous compression moulding process for manufacturing preforms.

Imola based Sacmi, which has vast experience in continuous compression molding of beverage-bottle caps and other closures, claims the novel preform approach to PET poses a challenge to the injection moulding preform sector.

Nonetheless, injection moulding will continue to inform the Italian company's offering.
