PILOT PROFILER AGR International Inc. has added new capabilities to this Pilot Profiler with Process Pilot for automated blow molder management. It interfaces with the blow molder to provide material thickness distribution management and defect detection for PET bottles. Control of the blow molder is hands off.
WHAT'S NEW? The system now monitors shelf life for CO2 or water loss at the point of production by incorporating a version of the M-Rule container performance model.
BENEFITS Plant managers now can be supplied with a continuous status of the predicted shelf life performance. They also have the capability to proactively manage critical parameters to maximize the shelf life of containers in production.
