  • Reduced blank contact time
  • Simplified pre-forming process flow
  • No need of funnel mechanism for round containers

To keep up with the evolving market demands, the hollow glass forming process has continuously improved to increase the production throughput. This has been achieved by two main approaches: firstly, by expanding the number of forming-machine sections and cavities per section, secondly, by integrating efficient cooling systems with quicker servo mechanisms. Furthermore, the introduction of servo mechanisms has paved the way for new innovations, such as the use of V-Baffles on servo baffle mechanism. This approach makes the funnel useless for most common articles produced with Blow & Blow process. So far only NIS forming machines benefit from this approach, but the development of the AIS-M forming machine allows to envisage the use of this technical solution.

Bucher Emhart Glass opened a new facility to be the home of the Elmira operations. This new world class facility provides space for manufacturing, administration as well as engineering for the Inspection Business of Bucher Emhart Glass. The importance of the Inspection Business within Bucher Emhart Glass became very clear within the recent launch of the End to End strategy http://www.bucheremhartglass.com/end_to_end_concept(link is external) and is now prominently reflected in this modern facility. The End to End concept connects the forming process of a glass plant with the inspection of the finished glass container.

The Novaxion swab robot is installed on an existing AIS machine with FlexIS controls and swabs the blank molds and neck-rings. By using the auto swab cycle in the FlexIS controls the swab robot provides “swab on the fly” with respect to the blank molds. The successful installation has been possible by the close cooperation between Vetropack, Bucher Emhart Glass and swab robot supplier Novaxion.
