Running with the new MSvS stacker, one of the fastest stacking solutions available on the market, and great with typical “tricky” formats like shallow or lightweight products. This tilting mould machine is built for flexibility and high-speed production, while granting a relevant reduction in production costs.
Product in demo: PET transparent juice cups, handled with ease thanks to advanced part control and optimized downstream handling.
Thanks to their mould compatibility, both machines are ideal also for those currently using equipment from other manufacturers, providing flexibility without the need for costly tooling replacement.
