Amsler enters Central American market


Here We Grow Again…


March 21, 2016 - Richmond Hill, ON – Amsler Equipment Inc. has refurbished, retrofitted, and delivered its first PET blow molder to Poliflex S.A. de C.V in San Salvador, El Salvador.

Poliflex S.A. de C.V. is a custom blow molder serving the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, beverage, household goods and food products industries. Founded in 1992, the company operates both injection-stretch molding and two-step blow molders to produce a wide variety of jars and bottles. Poliflex is currently updating their plant to meet ISO 22000 food safety standards.


Poliflex needed a modern single-cavity PET stretch blow molding machine to replace an older machine. Small footprint, machine performance, low tooling costs and easy supplier communication were important in selecting a replacement.

Amsler was able to supply a used single-cavity machine that was originally installed at a U.S.-based customer. The L12 had been outgrown and was traded in on a new three-cavity L32C. The L12, which was manufactured in 2007, was retrofitted with a preferential heating oven, which was a Poliflex requirement. The machine was completely refurbished and full warranty was provided by Amsler.



Poliflex was able to start up the machine and begin production in their plant themselves and it is currently running 4 days a week. The company is In the process of acquiring new molds and converting their existing molds to run on the Amsler L12.



This small fully-automatic single-cavity machine can make bottles from 50ml up to 2 liters in capacity with neck sizes from 18mm to 63mm. The L15 version of the machine, is available to make bottle sizes up to 5 liters. The options for these machines include neck orientation, hot-fill, and preferential heating.
