[Forming] Bis - Best From Nis And Ais

The new BIS from Emhart Glass, is an innovative, full servo-electric small IS section, and was introduced at Glasstec in 2010. This article explains the reasons and driving forces behind this latest development, gives more details of its specification and benefits for potential future BIS users. As a high performance, extremely flexible IS machine, covering an outstanding ware range, the BIS will outperform today's small-section IS machines. There is high probability that it will supersede the majority of today's relatively imprecise pneumatic driven IS machines. The same will certainly accrue as for food packaging equipment, where pneumatic driven mechanical machines have been superseded by servo electric machines.
