molding and two-step blow molders to produce a wide variety of jars and

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.

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
