Krones announced a batch of new offerings directed from its US facility. To compliment the existing support, service and inventory control for Krones labelers, packers, cappers, fillers and everything that goes into the turn-key filling plants Krones is now able to support and supply the things the packaging industry needs for designing, developing, trialing and manufacturing a PET container.
A great portion of this offering will come from the Krones Inc. facility in Franklin, WI, USA. The brand new facility includes mold manufacturing center, 8-cavity Krones blowmoulder for three processes and full PET Analytical lab. The 8-cavity Lab Blowmoulder has the unique capability to run any one of three processes including; Standard, Relaxed and even Heat-set. The flexibility is necessary, given that the primary function of the blowmoulding machine on-site is to support mold evaluation and bottle development across those processes.
For each new set of molds produced in the US, Krones will evaluate the pilot (unit ahead) mold to confirm that the mold design and sizing are correct for making the bottle outlined in the customer's specification. This step is imperative to guaranteeing bottle performance once installed on a Krones molder in the field and is unique to a Krones manufactured mold-set.
There are also many major additional benefits to having a non-production blowmoulder on site. For instance, Krones will offer molder time for manufacturer qualifications or hands-on training, previously un-available anywhere else outside of corporate headquarters in Germany. Even the Krones service department will have an in-house sounding board for troubleshooting. The benefits are plenty and Krones customers from the western hemisphere and across the world will see the results.
