Neck-handling with a magnetic system

When neck-handling clamps with a magnetic system are used, the machine downtimes formerly caused by spring breakages in a conventional system are a thing of the past. These new clamp elements need overhauling only once every two years, cutting the maintenance work required to a minimum. The bearing bushes and the worn clamps are thus replaced at regular intervals, substantially enhancing both the functional dependability and the availability levels of the machine concerned. In the case of a 100-valve filler, for example, the financial outlay for modification will have paid for itself after a mere 16 months. It takes about two days to install the clamps – a job best performed in a production-free time slot, or when servicing work has anyway been scheduled. The neck-handling clamps with a magnetic system are suitable for all PET fillers featuring neckhandling at the filling valve/lift cylinder.
