[Sensor Technology] Vidrala And Masitek - Impact Index For Glass Processors

Container glass manufacturers are always on the lookout for ways to optimise their production, especially with regards to breakages. This article takes a look at the recent development from Vidrala and Masitek, which provides glassmakers with more in-depth knowledge of their lines. The two companies have developed the Vidrala Impact Index (VII) and corresponding measurement capability using smart in-line sensing technology. The new index, which can be measured using MMAAZZ Shock QC sensor technology, allows glass packaging operations to further optimise lines against breakage and damage from impact during processing.
