From PET Preform to Bottle: How Faygo's PET Blowing Machine Creates Perfect Plastic Containers
Introduction
In today’s fast-paced packaging industry, creating high-quality plastic bottles demands smart technology and precision. For businesses seeking affordable, efficient solutions, PET preform to bottle machines are game-changers. Faygo union’s automatic PET blowing machine stands out as a top choice, transforming raw PET preforms into ready-to-use bottles/jars from 500ml to 20L. This guide breaks down the process, explains why Faygo’s machine outperforms competitors, and shows how it helps small/medium companies boost production.
What Are PET Preforms? (The Bottle’s Starting Point)
PET preforms are tube-shaped plastic blanks that become bottles through blow molding. Think of them as “bottle embryos” – they already have the bottle’s neck design and threads but look like thick test tubes.
Key Features of PET Preforms:
-
Made from PET resin by injection molding machine
-
Lightweight yet strong
-
Customizable colors and sizes
-
Easy to store/transport before blowing
Why Preforms Matter:
Using preforms instead of raw plastic pellets saves time, reduces waste, and ensures consistent bottle quality.
Step-by-Step: How a PET Preform Becomes a Bottle
Faygo union’s bottle moulding machine uses a 2-step stretch blow molding process:
Step 1: Heating
Preforms rotate in a heating chamber to reach 100-120°C. Infrared heaters soften the PET evenly without burning.
Step 2: Blowing
The hot preform goes into a mold.
A stretch rod pulls it downward.
High-pressure air (25-40 bar) blows it into the mold’s shape.
Cool water circulates to harden the bottle.
Result: A finished bottle in 8-12 seconds!
