Krones PET-View

Safe blow moulding process, immaculate bottle quality

Preform and container inspection - directly in the blow moulder

You want to make sure that only faultless preforms enter the blow moulding process? You also want to make sure that only faultlessly blow-moulded bottles are fed to the filler afterwards? PET-View grants both. The inspection system checks both, preforms and bottles using various quality criteria and systematically rejects faulty material. 

Whether these are being processed on a stretch blow-moulder for the first time or repeatedly is irrelevant: Because PET-View applies the same thoroughness to virgin material as well as to preforms and containers made from up to 100 percent recyclate.
