Leader in PET Technology
Through stretch blow molding technology, ASB reaches the world.
From conceptualisation through design to manufacture, we build the molds, machines and systems behind PET containers in over 80 countries.
-
I. Preform
Molded from PET, held by its neck and still hot.
-
II. Stretch
A rod draws it down to the base of the mold.
-
III. Blow
Air forms it against the mold into a clear bottle.

The Technology
Two methods of molding. One pioneer of the single-stage process.
Hot preform
Single-Stage
From PET granules to finished bottle, everything takes place in one machine. Suitable for small and medium scale production lines. ASB was a pioneer of this method and remains a global leader in single-stage blow-molding machines.
One machine
PET granules Finished bottle
Cold preform
Two-Stage
Two separate machines: the preform is injection molded on the first, then reheated and blown in the second. Suitable for both medium and large scale production.
First machine
Injection molds the preform
Second machine
Reheats and blows it
Machine Line-Up
Machines for every scale of production

Container size 250 ml – 3 L
Features of ASB Machines
Better bottles, in less space, at a lower running cost.
High Quality Bottles
Advanced molding using the "cool preform" method: hot preforms are cooled to a uniform temperature for optimum bottle quality.
Rapid Mold Changeover
Quick, easy attachment of molds, combined with IC memory card storage of different molding conditions, enables rapid mold changeover for increased productivity.
Compact
By re-designing both the machine & the molds, ASB has halved the machine size while maintaining the output of conventional machines, almost doubling production from a given space.
Cost Savings
ASB has been able to decrease the number of mold parts and reduce running costs by minimizing electricity consumption.
Global Network
A manufacturer with a global presence.
ASB stretch blow molding machines are used in over 80 countries, thanks to a global support network working to satisfy our customers wherever they may be.
