The 16th edition of the international exhibition "ProPak Asia 2008", held in Bangkok from 11 to 14 June, was able to meet the growing demands of a market in continuous evolution, with great interest in the recent innovations of the packaging industry.
The Asian market aims at top quality production and cooperates with the world leaders of the packaging sector, offering the best technical solutions in order to achieve high outputs, with reduced energy consumption.
With more than 600 packaging machines installed in Asia and in Oceania (more than 70 in the Asian south-eastern region), SMIGroup has almost become a reference for the protagonists of the "Food and Beverage" sector.

Technical innovations in the blowing of PET containers
SMIGroup has recently launched the new generation of rotary stretch-blow molders, offering a series of important innovations:
- new preforms heating module (oven), with the preforms mandrels pitch reduced to 40mm; thanks to the new oven the machine output is increased by 20%, as compared to the previous models;
- new electrical panel, totally integrated in the blow-molder frame, thus eliminating the need of connection cables between the machine and the electrical panel and reducing the machine overall dimensions.
