Since its introduction a little over five years ago, customers have provided valuable feedback for enhancements and extra features to Bucher Emhart Glass FlexRadar. Combined with experience gained in the field, advances in technology and the evolution of the glass container industry, these suggestions have prompted several changes to the equipment, with an eye towards the future of hot end process improvement, as Philippe Spiteri explains.

Bucher Emhart Glass, the leading supplier of glass-container equipment, has been bringing some significant new product features to its FleXinspect inline inspection portfolio. We look at the most recent addition, the FleXinspect M, and explore the new handling capabilities of the flagship FleXinspect T.

Glass Worldwide spoke exclusively to Edson Rossi, President about the changes made and the involvement of Container Glass Alliance member companies in the completion last year of a third production shop.
