As glassmakers continue to scale up production with Triple Gob (TG) and Quad Gob (QG) maximising throughput is no longer enough. Every stage of the manufacturing process must work smarter to keep pace.
Dual-row take-out systems can create challenges, from complex firing sequences and increased ware handling to limitations further downstream.
Bucher Emhart Glass’ Variable Center Distance (VCD) Tong Head is an innovative solution engineered to bring greater flexibility, efficiency, and control to high-speed production environments.
- Dynamically adjusts bottle spacing to match article size
- Reduces belt advance for higher pack rates and smoother flow
- Improves precision during push-out and transfer
- Modular, durable design for easy maintenance and lower operating costs
Fully compatible with Emhart Glass’ FlexPusher fingers, Servo Electric Take-Out (SETO) and Servo Electric Invert (SEI) mechanisms, the VCD Tong Head delivers optimised handling without compromise.
More flexibility. More efficiency. More productivity.
