Nissei ASB Co., the wholly-owned U.S. subsidiary of Japan’s Nissei ASB Machine Co. Ltd., has achieved a major milestone with the scheduled delivery of its 1,000th ASB-70DPH one-step injection stretch-blow molding machine for the production of narrow-neck and wide mouth PET containers.
The global premiere of the EBLOW electric blow moulding machine at the K'07 sees BEKUM take a new technological path. The findings of several thousand operating hours in the development lab in Berlin and constructive advice from our customers were all used in the further development of the EBLOW x07 D series.
The ASB-150DPW will be demonstrated, running a 14-cavity jar mold and producing 3360 bottles/hr. The machine demonstration is also supported by DAK Americas (PET resin), AF Compressors (HP compressor), and Universal Dynamics (resin dryer).
Liquid yogurts in single serve bottles is one of the most rapidly growing sectors in the drink packaging industry. Actually, in many of the markets such as Japan, Europe and South America, pourable yogurts are becoming more and more common as they are much easier to consume than thicker yogurts usually eaten with a spoon and thanks to the general perception of good health associated with yogurt consumption.
The "Tandem Blow" process developed by Bekum is increasingly proving to be an engine of efficiency. This process, first unveiled at the K1998, can point to an extremely successful market penetration after almost 10 years. The success of this technology ideally complements the trend towards small drinking yoghurt bottles, such as Actimel & Co.
