Our company offers a standard line of packaging machinery including unscramblers, cappers, retorquers, lidders, pluggers and much more. But, occasionally a customer will need the unusual. To many of our customers, consistent, specific applied torque when capping is extremely important. Usually the customer needs assurance that their containers have an applied torque high enough to prevent leakage, spills, or product contamination. Some projects require precise applied torque for validation purposes.
Recently, however, a customer came to NEM with the request for a specific low torque for empty containers. The company produces containers that they cap before shipping to their customers. The company wanted to be sure that the caps were just tight enough not to fall off. They requested that a very low torque be applied.
NEM came to their rescue! Utilizing our Servo Capper, we consistently applied the specified low torque required for this unusual application. They were very pleased with the result.
Another customer came to us with an extremely light weight water bottle they needed unscrambled at speeds of 250 cpm. The bottle unscrambler they had could not do the job. The 20 oz. PET containers weighing only 14.5 grams each were being crushed by their unscrambler. We built them our model NEHHLPE-72 unscrambler and it worked like a charm. The customer was so pleased when they came for their Factory Acceptance Test, that they told our tuner, they would name the machine after her.
Our company was founded by packaging machinery engineers and that has always been one of our competitive advantages. When a company cannot find the answer to their packaging machinery needs, New England Machinery is the company they call. For a company to sustain their growth, innovation is imperative. No industry is immune to evolution and keeping up with the changes, or better yet, staying ahead of the changes is what a company needs to stand the test of time.
