TEREKAS with FlexBlow at K 2016: Reduced size increased the attention

Due to the recently launched sales system known as Sales Conveyor Terekas plans to manufacture 3 times more PET stretch blowing machines this year compared to last year. The company has already signed 17 contracts across the world up until this moment meanwhile last year Terekas sold 6 machines.

The latest contract signed with the company from South African Republic in July was the first step to African continent.

„We believe that more are coming. After visiting a number of potential clients in SAR this summer we received the first inquiry immediately from the company that was looking for what we had to offer. They signed the reference agreement with us after purchasing the machine, indicating that we will be allowed to bring other potential customers from the country to see our technology in operation at their premises“, - said Head of Export Deparmtnet Gintautas Maksvytis.

Terekas has also signed one more contract with a company from the USA this year. They have been trying to step in the perspective US market that uses significant quantities of PET containers for years. Terekas shipped their first blower to the States several years ago, and received some interest afterwards, but the new contract only came-in this summer. The company is building a blow moulding machine for hot-fill bottles for the new American client. They are also planning to ship their stretch blowers to Spain, Iceland, Australia, Germany, Slovenia, Belarus, Baltic States and other countries this year.
Sales are based on conveyor method

Mr. Maksvytis notes that good results are the consequence of industrial conveyor method adapted in sales.

“The work of conveyor is based on specialization – and that is exactly how we set our sales department. Instead of trying to teach all salespeople everything from A to Z, we have assigned certain functions for different people. There are specialists who are responsible for sourcing new contacts only. Others use the ready-sourced contacts to get in touch with potential clients and introduce to them by telling more about what we do, and gather some basic information from them. We afterwards decide which country or region has the strongest potential and visit chosen companies there. When customers decide to visit us at Terekas, senior salespeople with in-depth technical knowledge take over for maximum support”, – the new sales conveyor method is described by Mr. Maksvytis, who also adds that it exceeded the expectations.

New machine to be launched in fall

International trade fairs remain an important tool when knocking on the door of new markets. Terekas takes part in several exhibitions each year and finds them useful.

“We are currently preparing for K Show in Dusseldorf where we will introduce our latest PET stretch blower FlexBlow that we have been developing for 2 years. It is a reduced size blower dedicated for those who need flexibility in relatively small production quantities. Normally PET blowers are rather sizeable and take a lot of space, therefore we came up with an idea to build a compact machine that does not take more space than a regular car and is easy to operate”, - Mr. Maksvytis notes.

According to him, the interest in the new model is so high that there have already been 6 premature contracts signed for the new reduced size PET blowers. All electric FlexBlow machines range from 1 to 5 cavities with the bottle output of up to 7500 bph. It was built for quick bottle format changeover that takes 30 minutes including the change of neck standard, mould, fine tuning and start-up, and will be demonstrated in 2 continents at the same time in October 2016: in Toronto, Canada and K-Show, Dussledorf.  www.flexblow.com

Fastest neck change

In the highly saturated market of PET SBM machines one need to possess a competitive advantage against other manufacturers to gain customers' attention and trust. FlexBlow claims that the latest 2018 two cavity FlexBlow2 model is the most universal 2-stage PET SBM machine on the market. It enables the production of wide range of PET containers possible on one piece of equipment with necks ranging from 18mm up to 110mm and bottle volumes from 50m1 up to 6,000m1. Changing the bottle format including moulds, neck and gripper parts, and fine-tune the machine afterwards takes no longer than 30m, according to FlexBlow Marketing Manager Gytis Sirvinskas.

There is a number of developments that FlexBlow has addedto their new machine in 2018 to stretch the ease of use and flexibility even further. To begin with, their dedicated Siemens control panel now has several new functions to make the experience of operating the machine intuitive. There is an integrated operator's manual that guides the user along every step of operation to make it repeatable and minimise the impact of human factor. There Is also an integrated catalogue to achievingtop PET bottle quality with pictured troubleshooting guide, not to mention the machine production and efficiency statistics for performance tracking.

The challenge of automatically loading a range preforms with significant differences in neck diameter from narrow neck to wide mouth has been tackled by the use of dual preform loading system. When it comes to minimising the support ring, FlexBlow uses the precision adjustable feeding slides that allow loading preforms with support ring starting from 0.8mm. Inversed preforms with body wider than support ring is also compatible with FlexBlow universal feeding system due to innovative gate-like structure that opens slightly at the end of preform slide to allow the thicker preform body to come out.

The company plans to bring equipment for wide-mouth jar production, SBM machine for cosmetic bottles and a PET blower for large size bottles — all in one machine. Live changeover shows will take place daily to demonstrate the process of switching between wide mouth jar and cosmetic bottle production.

Stretch blow molding units to debut at Pack Expo

Terekas, a European manufacturer of stretch blow molding machines for PET, will begin marketing its FlexBlow machines in the U.S. this fall.

The company’s U.S. marketing campaign will coincide with its participation in Pack Expo, which will be held Sept. 25-27 in Las Vegas. It will mark the first time the company has exhibited its two-stage stretch blow molding machines in the U.S.

Terekas has long discussed entering the U.S. market. Selling two machines to a Canadian customer for the first time two years ago, it has just delivered its latest blow molder to a company in New York. Terekas currently sells its machines in the Baltic states, Belarus, Benelux, Germany, Iceland, Scandinavia, Slovenia, Spain and South America.

The company’s expansion into the U.S. market follows last fall’s launch of a new, smaller PET stretch blow molding machine.

“It’s a reduced-size blower dedicated for those who need flexibility in relatively small production quantities,” said Gintautas Maksvytis, head of Terekas’ export department. “Normally, PET blowers are rather sizable and take a lot of space.”

The new machine is compact. With a footprint of about 5.5 feet by 9 feet, the machine is about the size of a passenger car.

It is available in two models, the FlexBlow 1 and FlexBlow 2, with the model number representing the number of cavities. Both machines can produce bottles with neck sizes ranging from 18mm to 120mm. The FlexBlow 1 can produce bottles ranging in size from 10 milliliters to 10 liters at speeds of up to 1,600 bottles per hour. The FlexBlow 2 produces bottles ranging in size from 10 milliliters to 6 liters at speeds of up to 2,600 bottles per hour.

Interest in the new models is so high that Terekas, which is based in Kretinga, Lithuania, and has operations in Lund, Sweden, plans to hire additional sales representatives by the end of the year.

The new machines join seven larger blow molding machines in the Terekas product lineup.  The company’s highest-speed machine has 16 cavities and can produce 24,000 bottles per hour with neck sizes ranging from 18mm to 38mm and sizes ranging from 10 milliliters to 1.5 liters.

Terekas started 22 years ago as a bottle manufacturer, and subsequently began building its own machines. Company officials recognized the advantages of quick mold changes and the ability to quickly change the size of the necks of the bottles.

As a result, the new FlexBlow machines allow bottle manufacturers the flexibility to change molds in about 4 minutes, and, if neck sizes also need to be changed -  which requires the change of mandrels - the switchover can take place in as little as 20 minutes, a company spokesman said. Only four bolts need to be undone to remove a mold.

The two new machines also allow an unusual range in bottle and neck sizes, the spokesman said. They can manufacture bottles as small as those used for e-cigarette fluid to large 10-liter bottles. The company uses the marketing slogan, “One for all.”

FlexBlow machines are built with standard components from mostly German manufacturers. As a result, replacing parts can be quicker and less expensive than obtaining proprietary parts since parts are available from many vendors, according to the company.

Flexblow at Drinktec

Even though historically custom PET container production was associated to 1-stage machines in the past, the market’s need for higher capacity and smaller tool cost impelled 2-stage PET machine producer Terekas to look at the possibility to fill in the niche. After conducting an in-depth study and discovering market’s technical requirements for flexible SBM machines, Terekas built FlexBlow – a versatile PET stretch-blow moulding machine designed for flexible production and quick bottle format changeovers. The machine was launched in 2016, and it was an immediate breakthrough recognized by bottlers and packaging producers that use a range of different bottle formats.

FlexBlow offers an unprecedented flexibility in a two-stage machine. FlexBlow enables the production of PET containers with neck ranging from 18mm to 120mm and volume range from 10ml up to 6000 ml – all on 1 piece of equipment. In addition to regular cold-fill bottle production possibility, FlexBlow could be used to make hot-fill containers as well, not to mention the possibility to produce oval shaped bottles and containers with T-handle.

Additionally to flexible blowers FlexBlow also has a range of Hybrid series. The standard FlexBlow models have intermittent preform feeding system that guarantees maximum flexibility: wide range of neck and bottle sizes. On the other hand, FlexBlow Hybrid models have continuous preform feeding system and a combination of rotary and linear motions, that increases capacity, yet the flexibility is somewhat narrowed. The largest machine FlexBlow Multi was designed to compete with high capacity rotary machines, and it is essentially a combination of two eight-cavity Hybrid models connected together.

Versatile Stretch-Blow Molder for Wide or Narrow Necks

FlexBlow reheat stretch-blow molder makes bottles with 18-to-110-mm necks and supports quick changeovers.

UAB Terekas of Lithuania is presenting the newest version of its highly versatile FlexBlow RSBM system. The all-electric, two-cavity FlexBlow 2 WM is able to produce both wide-mouth (up to 110 mm) and narrow-neck (18-mm) containers. It can mold up to 73-mm necks in two cavities and wider in one cavity. Bottles from 1.5 to 3 L can be molded at 700 to 750/hr. Changing the bottle format, including molds, neck, and gripper parts, and fine-tuning the machine settings afterwards, takes no longer than 30 min, says FlexBlow marketing manager Gytis Sirvinskas. Changing just the mold requires loosening four bolts and takes only 5 min. FlexBlow is demonstrating live changeover daily of this machine that can mold wide-mouth jars, cosmetic bottles, and large bottles.

A number of upgrades on this model include new control functions such as an integrated operator manual and troubleshooting guide, and reporting of machine production and efficiency statistics for performance tracking. The challenge of automatically loading preforms with a wide range of neck diameters is addressed by a dual preform loading system. Adjustable feeding slides allow loading preforms with very small support rings (down to 0.8 mm), suitable for cosmetics jars. Inversed preforms with a body wider than the neck can also be handled by the feeding system. And both air and water cooling are now available to cool the neck inside the oven.

Another new feature is customized preform grippers made by 3D printing. This allows for very precise detailing for custom designs and permits quick changes, too. One FlexBlow customer ordered grippers for five different neck sizes, so Terekas color-coded the grippers in anodized aluminum.
