Core content:

The Contiform 3 BigBottle stretch blow molding machine from Germany's Krones Group, designed for large-capacity PET containers up to 8 liters, fills a gap in the food and beverage industry in the field of large packaging equipment. The machine adopts electromagnetic stretching technology instead of traditional compressed air drive, reducing energy consumption by 15%, while optimizing the infrared heating module, it can process up to 50% recycled PET material, which meets the requirements of the European Union's Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) on the circular economy.

Application scenarios:

The machine can be integrated with Krones' filling and labeling machines to form a fully automated production line from blowing to packaging for categories such as drinking water, fruit juices and liquid condiments. Together with Krones' Air Wizard Plus compressed air recovery system, for example, the complete solution can control the energy consumption per bottle to within 60% of the industry average.
