When a glass container breaks on the production line, the biggest challenge is understanding why.
For Vetropack, overcoming this challenge means transforming uncertainty into insight.
This is why the Technical Customer Service team has expanded its portfolio of services to include an advanced measurement system for analysing mechanical stress directly on the filling line.
Alongside the proven ShockQC inline sensor from Masitek, Vetropack uses a sensor developed by the Institute for Glass and Raw Materials Technology (IGR) that is installed directly inside the glass container.
This combination of two systems offers one clear advantage:
- real-time data under real production conditions
- faster analysis: results in days, not weeks
- greater flexibility, lower costs and better decision-making
By identifying critical stress points early on, bottlers can optimise their production lines proactively, particularly when working with lightweight glass.
Reliable glass packaging isn’t guesswork; it’s the result of expertise and partnership.
