Finishing/leak detection

In a joint effort, the co. introduces a series of machines to trim and finish wide-mouth PET containers made from narrow-neck preforms. The machines are integrated with ALPS leak detection systems. Aimed at processing innovations to reduce operating costs, floorspace allocation and conveyors, the development will also reportedly increase line efficiency by controlling critical material handling of empty, unstable containers. The combined systems, rated to 400/min, can incorporate the co.'s DT and MT Series rotary moil trimmers, FT Series flange trimmers and F Series chipless burnishing machines.
