TRADE SHOW PREVIEW 58 PET planet insider Vol. 17 No. 09/16 www.petpla.net Agr Int. to display the CrystalView system for managing PET bottle crystallinity Agr International offers a number of products that are designed to aid bottle manufacturers achieve their most aggressive light weighting goals while main- taining the highest quality. Agr products are designed to assist container produc- ers, converters and fillers stay competitive while meeting the increased quality demands of today’s changing world. Agr will display their latest developments in this line of products as well as an array of quality management and process con- trol equipment for plastic containers. The Process Pilot system interfaces with the blowmoulder to provide precise material thickness distribution on a per bottle basis while managing the blow- moulder to eliminate the effect of process and environmental variables that impact bottle material distribution throughout the production cycle. With the trend towards ever lighter bottles, the Process Pilot system is the light-weighting tool. This system offers bottle producers the ability to aggressively light weight bottles to the absolute minimum, while providing the confidence that material is distributed appropriately. The Process Pilot system makes it possible to produce consistent high-quality bottles on a 24/7 basis regardless of operator skills, environmental changes and preform variations. The latest enhancement to the Process Pilot product line is the CrystalView material optimisation system. The CrystalView system provides PET bottle manufacturers with the means for automatic management of material orientation/crystallinity. The CrystalView system works in conjunction with the Agr Process Pilot blowmoulder management system to simul- taneously manage material distribution and optimise material orientation. By doing so, material orientation is optimised over the entire bottle, making it possible to produce the best possible bottles at the coldest practi- cal processing temperature. www.agrintl.com Agr International Hall 11 Booth B40 Jomar launches next-generation injection blow moulding machine Jomar Corp., a global manufacturer of injection blow moulding (IBM) machin- ery for the pharmaceutical, healthcare, personal care, beauty, food and beverage, and household products industries, has announced the launch of a next-gener- ation injection blow moulding (IBM) machine series that incorporates a custom- designed servo-driven hydraulic system. The new Jomar IntelliDrive series deliv- ers major improvements in energy consumption, output, and performance while also maintaining the machine’s footprint. The Jomar IntelliDrive series features precise servo-driven hydraulics that reduces energy consumption by 40-50% and boasts a dry cycle time of 1.8s which is significantly faster than standard hydraulic machines. Jomar engineers worked in partnership with Bosch Rexroth, Charlotte, N.C., USA to develop a pro- prietary use of servo-driven hydraulic technology to power the machine and plas- tifier. The machine also features a closed-loop system for the machine’s clamping system, which delivers exact control over the clamp’s speed and position. This creates faster speeds for opening and closing while simultaneously reducing impact upon tooling, thus prolonging the lifespan of the moulds. The new feature- enhanced IntelliDrive IBM machine has exactly the same footprint as its standard hydraulic counterpart. www.jomarcorp.com Jomar Corp Hall 14 Booth A32 competence inside ® Crystallisation without detours Efficient processing with PET-CrystalBatch Direct path to crystalline PET masterbatch: cpc unites the pelletizing and crystallisation process with an innovative method.
