    Preform and container inspection – directly in the blow moulder

      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.

      Benefits to you

      Excellent bottle quality

      PET-View systematically rejects faulty preforms and PET bottles and thereby ensures first-class container quality.

      Trouble-free blowing process

      The inspection system enables only faultless preforms for blow moulding. It thereby protects the blow moulder from malfunctions and enables a smooth bottle production.

      Comfortable and efficient access

      The system can be completely operated via the blow moulder's touch-screen panel.
