Tanner AG from Illnau in Switzer- land, is known for manufacturing preform handling in front of blow moulding machines and inspection systems. As early as 1983, the mechanical devel- opment company ventured on its first test trials in the field of PET feeding systems. Two years later, the first system was delivered. From preform tippers to complete preform lines, the company offers complete solutions for every need regarding preform handling. Systems for all output ranges are designed, manufactured and delivered. “Our strengths are to be found in the general handling of preforms. With our experience of more than 30 years in this field, we want to offer our customers the possibility to purchase a complete solution for their preform handling,” says CEO Marco Tanner. The Tanner service engineers are located worldwide and guarantee high flexibility and fast customer service. Now the company has launched its latest innovation named “ErgoFlow”. ErgoFlow is a state-of-the-art system that enables horizontal feeding and conveying of preforms in the highest output range. Using a newly developed system from M. Tanner AG, up to 100,000 preforms per hour are transported through a belt guide. One of the main advantages, according to the company, is that the belt guide does not require air, as is the case with comparable systems that transport preforms horizontally. ErgoFlow is installed directly in front of the blow moulder, inspection system or other downstream machines. Regardless of which machine the ErgoFlow is installed in front of, it impresses with its highly efficient function. Other advantages include a very manageable maximum height and operation and maintenance close to the floor in all performance classes. Despite its high efficiency, ErgoFlow is an compact system that can be used in limited spaces as well. M. Tanner AG offers a solution to companies that already have a preform feeding system. ErgoFlow is also available as a retrofit for already installed systems. www.mtannerag.ch 27 th Fakuma International trade fair for plastics processing - Injection moulding technology - Thermoforming and forming technology - Extrusion technology - Additive manufacturing / 3D printing technology - Tooling, materials, process engineering and services @ www.fakuma-messe.com Ä #fakuma2021 ü ? ägB Organizer: S P.
