Shaping the Future of Preform Handling
Marco Tanner, CEO, M. Tanner AG
We have been developing and producing preform handling systems for our customers worldwide for over 40 years. Over 4,000 systems are currently in operation.
What began with feeding preforms into the blow moulder has seen many products and functions added over the years. From preform loading in the first process step, to preform sorting and feeding, to complex quality optimisation, we cover the entire preform handling process upstream of the blow moulder or inspection system. The next milestone „Future Preform Line“ will be shown during the presentation.
