Philippe Spiteri presents ProLab, an innovative system designed specifically to help glassmakers bring the forming process to target pack-to-melt efficiencies.
This new gauge option for the ISIS Dimensional Gauge, is an integral part of its MiniLab Glass Container Measurement System. This new option provides the ability for automated mold-correlated wall thickness measurements of glass containers on sampling basis.
The latest product innovations from Emhart Glass include a cast iron cross conveyor and a multi gob weight system. Type 182 cross coveyor features a simple design, based on a cast iron girder, available in lengths of 4m-7.5m (in 0.5m steps). Lengths over 5.5m are supplied in two pieces, connected with a jointing plate.
Resistance to breakage and reduced weight - these are the characteristics usually requested for glass packaging. These two features will now be possible thanks to a new process developed by Emhart Glass, which will be installed at Vetropack's glasswork in Austria, and subsequently used in an industrial production process for the first time.
Emhart Glass, one of the leading suppliers of machinery and equipment to the glass manufacturing industry, has announced the launch of its 182 cast iron cross conveyor.
