ASB & PET

ASB develops,   manufactures  &  sells  "stretch  blow  molding  machines"  for
producing plastic containers or bottles in all shapes & sizes.  Bottles  that  are
tough, light &  versatile enough to suit everyone's needs.

ASB  machines  are  able  to  produce bottles from many types of plastics, but 
the most widely used is PET (polyethyleneterephthalate).

Other   materials   that  can   be  molded   include    PP   (polypropylene),  PC 
(polycarbonate),     PE     (polyethylene),     SAN         (styrene-acrylonitrile), 
PS (polystyrene),  and  PEN  (polyethylene naphthalate).

The basic steps to transform preform to bottles

· Preform Injection molding  
  The original test-tube-like form from which the bottle is  blown  is  known  as 
  "preform".
· Preform cooling  
  The preforms are cooled to a uniform temperature.
· Preform heating 
  The preform is heated by infrared heaters  to  the  optimum  temperature  for 
  stretch blowing.
· Stretch blow molding 
  The preform is stretched & blown with high  pressure  air to create the bottle
  shape.
· Finished bottle ejection  
  The finished bottles are ejected from the machine.
