Iran’s largest producers of PET preforms is banking on SIPA in its latest round of expansion. Khosh Form, which has operations in the cities of Mashhad (Khosh Form Toos) and Qazvin (Khosh Form Caspian), has, other than 10 different Husky machines, 7 XFORM 500 preform injection molding system at both locations, all of them running with 96-cavity molds. The XFORM 500 systems produce preforms for carbonated soft drink, 38mm-neck dairy products and for mineral water bottles; the XForm 500 has the capability to run legacy tooling as well.
Khosh Form has been on a steep growth path since it started making PET preforms in 2003. Both of its sites have benefitted from surging demand for drinks bottled in PET, both at home and in neighbouring countries. It has connections to numerous major international brand owners. The company makes preforms weighing as little as 10.4 gm and as much as 54.75 gm, for bottles ranging in size from 300 to 2500 ml. It has an extensive park of molds, so investing in the XFORM 500, with its ability to accept large molds from all the top suppliers, makes a lot of sense.
“The full compatibility of the SIPA XFORM with our existing equipment is a great advantage for us,” says Dr. Hajrezapour, owner of Khosh Form. “This has given us extra versatility in our production. And the XFORM 500 system produces high quality preforms with high consistency. The machines have already proved to be very reliable, and we have quickly grown accustomed to the new platform. “With its latest technology, SIPA has made a big leap forward. We appreciate this, because at Khosh Form we look only for the best in class. Our customers own the most important international brands in the beverage business, and they audit our production regularly— so we cannot compromise on the quality of our equipment.”
