• 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.
