Serac Inc: Bottles thermoformed directly from roll-fed sheets of plastic

Bottles are produced in sizes 100 to 500 ml. Designed for fresh dairy products, particularly yogurt drinks and fruit juices. The plastic goes directly from sheet to bottle, a cost savings of 30 to 50%, according to the company.  Blowing is performed at low-pressure (< 6 bar) and at low temperature (< 150°C). Compatible with PS, PP, PLA, and PET plastics.  Produces 7,000 bottles/hour.  Not only provides material cost savings, but also transportation and sustainability advantages because the rolls occupy so little space.
