At drinktec 2025 in Hall C6, Netstal will present the latest generation of its PET-Line – a true highlight for anyone interested in sustainable and high-performance preform production. The PET-Line 4000 produces ultra-light 6.9 g preforms with a 25/22 neck finish and achieves an impressive output of around 108,000 preforms per hour – thanks to a 144-cavity mould from MHT featuring integrated self-cleaning.
But it’s not just about speed: an integrated Vision Control System inspects quality in real time and automatically documents results. The new Quality Shot function enables full shot sampling at the push of a button. Operation has also been reimagined: with Smart Operation and the graphically guided Task Quick Mold Change, tool changes are safe and intuitive – even for less experienced personnel.
A particular highlight is the system’s energy efficiency: by recovering kinetic energy and optionally reducing system pressure, annual energy savings in the five-digit range are possible.
At the PET Point in Hall C6, the PET-Line will be producing preforms live. And after the show? The preforms will be returned to the recycling loop – a clear commitment to the circular economy.
