Cypet Technologies highlighted a range of innovations in single-stage PET processing technology at the 11th Injection, Blow Molding & PET International Summit and Exhibition 2026, organized by ElitePlus in Mumbai. The company’s focus was on enhancing production efficiency, lowering energy consumption and expanding the use of PET in industrial packaging.
Speaking at the event, Constantinos Sideris, director of Cypet Technologies, outlined the company’s latest developments in manufacturing equipment for both large industrial containers and high-speed production of smaller PET bottles.
Founded in 1994, Cyprus-based Cypet specializes in single-stage PET processing machines and has installations in around 20 countries. The company is known for producing large PET containers with integrated handles for industrial applications such as chemicals, edible oils and dairy products.
Sideris highlighted the company’s capability to manufacture PET containers of up to 1,000 liters using a newly developed single-stage production system. According to the company, the technology has produced both cylindrical storage tanks and intermediate bulk container (IBC)-style containers, delivering weight savings of up to 45% compared with conventional polyethylene alternatives.
He discussed a new high-productivity single-stage manufacturing platform for smaller PET containers. Designed to combine the quality advantages of single-stage processing with production speeds comparable to two-stage stretch-blow molding systems, the technology integrates injection molding, temperature adjustment and stretch-blow molding into a continuous manufacturing process.
The company said the process eliminated the need to cool, store and reheat preforms, reducing electricity consumption by around 25%, lowering material waste by about 50% and cutting logistics costs associated with preform handling.
Among the key innovations presented was a patent-pending three-dimensional preform temperature adjustment system that enables precise control of wall thickness distribution, allowing manufacturers to produce lighter containers without compromising strength or performance.
The production platform incorporates hybrid injection technology, servo-driven stretching and air recovery systems to improve energy efficiency. It can manufacture bottles of up to one liter using as many as 48 cavities, which the company said represents the highest cavitation currently available for single-stage PET processing equipment.
Sideris said the latest technologies are designed to improve manufacturing efficiency while reinforcing PET’s position as a lightweight, sustainable packaging material for both industrial and consumer applications.
