VERTIGO
Geometric contactless control.
Vertigo is a system for laboratory sample checking of containers that can also be used directly on production lines (cold-end) and in hot-end area for checking:
- Measuring and calibrating diameters
- Container verticality deviation
- Crooked neck deviation
OCULUS NEO
A scalable, camera-based solution for efficient check detection
Oculus Neo offers an innovative check inspection upgrade for any starwheel machine. By combining flexible emitter-receiver technology with a sophisticated camera system, it delivers more efficient and reliable inspections.
IPS High-Pressure Control Unit
The IPS control unit has been specifically engineered for industrial applications that demand the use of high-pressure hydraulic oils. Its advanced design allows it to achieve exceptionally high operating pressures while maintaining stable and precise pressure levels over extended periods.
VARIABLE EQUIPMENT
MECHANICAL DIVISION
The use of high-quality materials, the design and production control phases using state-of-the-art technologies are the unique strengths of Luben Glass mechanical division. Thanks to its skills, LUBEN GLASS is able to manage and guarantee the manufacturing and supply of items both standard and bespoke.
Gob Forming Training
This APEGG training course is for production personnel who need to know how to prepare the “perfect” gob for glass container production (bottle & jar). During this course students learn the fundamentals of gob shaping and how a “bad” gob influences the quality.
Mould Repair Training
Mould equipment repair is essential for good glass container production, it has a direct impact on the mould equipment performance. Understanding how to repair the mould gear and top tools in an efficient way will save time and money, plus it will extend the equipment life - producing more containers effectively.
NNPB Introduction
NNPB forming process
The five-step programme from APEGG will ensure a smooth introduction of the Narrow Neck Press & Blow (NNPB) process within any glass plant operation. Following the APEGG way the customer can expect to produce successfully bottles in NNPB within months.
Mould Inspection Training
Mould equipment inspection with gauges is very important to ensure a good glass container production. No matter if it is the Neck Ring, Blow Mould, Blank, Baffle, Blow Head, Guide Plate, Plunger (Plug), Thimble or Take Out Tong, all must be inspected before, during and after a production run.
DES - Defect Elimination System
DES, the world's first independent system to use smart algorithms for eliminating glass container forming defects. This system gives clear step-by-step instructions to the glass forming machine operator, memorizes actions taken, analyses decisions made and distributes them to all production lines.
Parison Run Calculator
With this Parison Run Calculator, the glass container mould equipment designer can quickly calculate the length of the parison for a wide mouth jar. The calculations are based on the actual glass jar capacity and weight, making it easy to understand how big the blank mould must be to produce such the jar.
Glass Container - Gob Forming Simulator
The world’s first Gob Forming Simulator that simulates the forming of a glass gob under real industrial conditions. This simulator can be used to understand the gob formation on any type of feeder equipment.
Glass Container - Forming Defects App
The Glass Container Forming Defects App (GCFDA) is a digital glass defects manual that provides information about common glass defects, including pictures, standard names, and causes & remedies.
