In the heart of Moldova, nestled among scenic vineyards and rolling hills, lies the prominent brewing company, Beermaster. With a rich history, Beermaster has always been in search of innovative solutions, particularly in the packaging of beer and various other beverages. These innovative strides have been realised with the aid of PET Technologies and its advanced APF-Max series blow moulding machine.

Previously reliant on two semi-automatic machines equipped with seven blow moulds, Beermaster faced frequent production halts. The time-consuming mould changes and the inconsistent operation of the older equipment were bottlenecks, preventing stable operation of their bottling line, which aimed to achieve a capacity of 4,000 bottles per hour. This inefficiency often led to delays in meeting the high demand for their renowned beers and beverages.

PET Technologies helped Beermaster to achieve its goals introducing the APF-Max 4L blow moulder. This machine is capable of producing PET bottles ranging from 0.2 to 3.0 liters, with an output of 7,000 bottles per hour. In case of 500 ml bottle, the output is even more than 8,000 bph.

The APF-Max 4L not only ensured a seamless production flow but also brought with it the flexibility of quick bottle format changes — taking as little as 20 minutes to switch moulds. This was particularly advantageous for Beermaster, which now produces five different bottle sizes on the APF-Max 4L, including a popular 3.0-liter format, thanks to the machine's capability to handle larger volumes up to 3 liters.

Energy efficiency stands at the core of the APF-Max 4L. The machine’s design significantly reduces energy consumption and the innovative NIR heating system, aligning with Beermaster’s commitment to sustainable production practices. Moreover, the robust construction of the machine accommodates heavy preforms, which are crucial for maintaining the integrity of the bottle design, resembling a traditional beer keg, after filling.

An essential aspect of this partnership was PET Technologies ability to tailor the bottle designs to incorporate Beermaster’s branding, embedding their logo distinctly on each bottle. This customisation has not only strengthened brand recognition but has also enhanced the visual appeal of the products. With minimal downtime and maximized energy efficiency, Beermaster has significantly increased its productivity.
