Description

New neck & closure sizes are entering the market with 25mm & 26mm becoming the new standard for the beverage industry.

The new necks are not only gaining ground for the flat water industry but also for CSD applications. Therefore the clamping force requirements on injection moulding machines will decrease. This means the tie-bar spacing will remain as the main factor in choosing proper machine sizes. As a consequence, new mould concepts need to be smaller.

z-moulds has the answer with high cavitation moulds half the size of the market standards.
