摘要

What follows is a review of the wares presented at NPE 2006 by primary blowmolding equipment suppliers for packaging applications.For a review of suppliers of controls,preform molds,and related equipment,see the Showcase issue that preceded this one,or check our website,www.pma-magazine.com.Bekum America showed its BM-406D co-extrusion tandem machine with multiple cavities,designed to produce 8-oz HDPE milk bottles for school lunches.With 24 cavities making 11,520 bottles/hour and more than 90 million bottles/year,the company hopes the plastic packaging will compete favorably with cardboard milk cartons,and also be more appealing to children.
