The Prefero PET injection moulding machine
The core of the Krones preform systems: Prefero. The injection moulding machine is designed as a hybrid machine with electrical positive locking movement. Prefero is not only impressive with a lock-to-lock time of max. 1.9 seconds (400 t, according to Euromap standard). Thanks to an integrated energy recovery system, up to 20 percent of the total energy consumption can be saved as compared to machines of the competition.
