1. A non-symmetric integral PET handled preform feed, stretch-blow-moulding machine dedicated to the stretch-blow-moulding of PET containers from non-symmetric injection moulded integral PET handled preforms; the non-symmetric injection moulded integral PET handled preforms including an integral PET handle extending from a first junction point on the preform; the machine including a preform orientation system to orient each of the injection moulded integral PET handled preforms into a known orientation at arrival at a pick off position; loading sequentially each of the injection moulded integral PET handled preforms onto a reheating conveyor; the reheating conveyor maintaining each of the injection moulded integral PET handled preforms in continuous rotation about a longitudinal axis of each of the injection moulded integral PET handled preforms as the preforms are progressed to a stretch blow moulding station and are heated to a stretch blow moulding die introduction temperature.
