A conversion kit for the company’s full line of Freedom Series
small-bottle blow molders to handle the new 26.7 mm preforms is
available. The conversion kit is optional for new models and can also
be retrofitted to existing blow molders in the field. The new preform
design takes gram weight from the thread finish by making it shorter,
while keeping the standard overall 28 gram weight to maintain bottle
durability for the finished product. The result is a cost-per-bottle
savings that can be up to 15 percent, with no loss of body strength. A
full line of Freedom blow molders for small bottles (50 oz/1.5 L), with
models capable of producing from 1500 to 4500 bottles per hour, is
available.
