Traditional Pneumatic IS Machines (superseded by AIS/NIS)
The traditional pneumatic IS machine portfolio consists of the 4 machine sizes 4 1/4", 5”, 5 1/2" and 6 1/4". As shown in the tables below, each of these machines is available with different cavity center distance and capable of covering a wide ware range. To enhance productivity and process consistency, the IS machines are equipped as standard with Servo Electric Take-Out and Servo Electric Invert mechanisms, ensuring precise container handling and improved operational performance. Combining versatility, proven pneumatic technology, advanced servo-electric features, and industry-leading safety solutions like the Blank Side Barrier, the IS machine represents the ideal choice for manufacturers seeking reliable performance, in traditional angular-opening setups.
