New Simulation & Tooling For PET Bottle Makers.New simulation software Simulation software is based on the process of imitating a real phenomenon with a set of mathematical formulas. It is, essentially, a program that allows the user to observe an operation through simulation without actually running the program. and tooling improvements for PET bottles were recently introduced by Krones Inc., Franklin, Wis. First, new Krosim simulation technology provides animated computer representation of an entire packaging line for up to 132,000 bottles/hr. Users can evaluate any line configuration and view productivity of the line at any stage, from pre-planning to final line layout. Krosim can help evaluate issues such as error detection and prevention, staffing requirements, productivity, and time to recovery after a line stoppage stoppage - /sto'p*j/ Extreme lossage that renders something (usually something vital) completely unusable. "The recent system stoppage was caused by a fried transformer." . Another development from Krones is heated blow molds aimed at minimizing shrinkage Shrinkage The amount by which inventory on hand is shorter than the amount of inventory recorded. Notes: The missing inventory could be due to theft, damage, or book keeping errors. of PET bottles. Offered on its Contiform line of rotary PET reheat Re`heat´ v. t. 1. To heat again. 2. To revive; to cheer; to cherish. Verb 1. reheat - heat again; "Please reheat the food from last night" stretchblow machines, the heated molds leave less molded-in stress. The result is less short- and long-term bottle shrinkage. |
