Many thanks for the interesting read.I worked for Carters soft drinks co.in Sawley from around 1989I operated the 2 old gold coloured blow moulding machines.i can't remember the name of the machines, but I do remember the third blow moulding machine.The French manufactured SIDEL,which produced 2ltr plastic bottles,at a rate of 6,500 per hour.It was around 2 years later when I transferred to the Kegworth plant, and operated 2 SIDELs,side by side, producing 250ml bottles at I think 8,000 per hour, and 2 ltr bottles at I think,10,000 per hour.This machine sometimes produced 1 ltr bottles,dependin
