At NPE, Anker (booth 7925) will show a modification it developed for new and existing PET bottle machines. Anker can replace the hydraulic turntable that transfers preforms from one station to another with an electric servo-driven table, thus providing an oil-free environment that Wilks says is desired by pharmaceutical bottle customers. The remaining hydraulic functions on the machine can be safely isolated from the PET product, Wilks says. He adds that an electric turntable rotates 25% to 30% faster and is 40% less costly to maintain than a hydraulic version. The modification is applicable to most brands of one-stage and two-stage stretch-blow molders. Tel: +44 8700 557910, www.ankerhouse.com |
