The company says that it has completely re-engineered its vacuum table to make film handling more fluid and to facilitate maintenance on high-speed lines. The cut- ting module is equipped with Dual Injection System (DIS) and is completely separate from the vacuum module for film infeed. Reel change- overs can be made without stopping the machine and it is designed to cope with different film grades, includ- ing recyclable or biodegrad- able polyethylene film, at higher output rates. A new generation of tunnels fea- tures hot air circulation that can be adjusted based on the specific product format: height, collation and number of lanes. The tunnel is fully modular and can operate with single, dual or triple lanes. Cermex is planning to offer additional new functions to the market in Q3 2013. www.gebocermex.com Gebo Cermex Hall A6 Booth 340 Triple inspection launch Trac Measurement Systems will be launching a brand new range of plastic bottle inspection machinery. Three machines will be exhibited, covering bottle wall thickness measurement, burst testing and automatic preform measurement. The new Trac Bottle Wall Thickness gauge uses advanced non-contact sensor technol- ogy to accurately measure bottle wall and base thickness from outside the bottle. It offers traceable measurement to UKAS standards, linearity over the entire sensor range and external measurement without having to enter the neck of the bottle. The sensor can also be rotated to suit a range of types and sizes of bottle design. Surface angles and base thickness can be measured without any need to cut the bottle. The Bottle Burst Testing system can be used in the laboratory or alongside manufacturing lines. The preform measurement gauge uses vision-based technol- ogy to check all industry standard dimensions, including neck finish, body diam- eters, height and internal neck diameter in a matter of seconds. www.trac-group.com Trac Hall B3 Booth 135
