Increased cost-effectiveness and efficiency in production
"Manufacturers of bulk commodities such as bottle caps are under
continuous pressure to reduce manufacturing costs. Continuous
improvements being made to both process and machine mean that Netstal
is satisfying the increasing demand from South American customers for
material savings, process efficiency and greater cost-effectiveness in
production," explained Markus DalPian, Head of Business Unit CAP. As
such, Netstal will be presenting a highly efficient bottle cap production
process at Feiplastic 2013 on an ELION 3200 featuring the new electric
clamping unit with energy recovery. "Using this can lead to energy savings of
up to 50 percent," emphasized DalPian. PCO 1881 bottle caps are produced
in a cycle of 4.2 seconds with a 72-cavity mold made by Austrian company
z-mold. The closures are cooled by a lift cooler that comes courtesy of
Eisbär, likewise based in Austria. The ELION 3200 is fitted with the new
aXos control unit, which boasts an improved control panel and many new
applications.
Fastest cycle times, lowest costs
The closure sector is characterized by mass production and high cost
sensitivity. Drawing on its experience and range of ELION, EVOS and
SynErgy machines, all honed for high performance, Netstal provides the
ideal basis for systems focusing on mass production. By combining our wide
application know-how with our technological savoir-faire, it is possible to provide cost-effective production systems for our customers in South
America," said DalPian. Thanks to Netstal's concentration of long-standing
expertise in the closure sector, today it is able to provide customers with even more professional advice – well before the actual procurement of
production equipment even begins. |
