Light & right weighting

APEGG can assist customers with the process of ‘weight reduction’ of glass packaging, through new or revised designs in Light Weight Blow & Blow (L.W.B.B.), Narrow Neck Press & Blow (N.N.P.B.) or Press & Blow (P.B.). 

 

N.N.P.B. Introduction

Due to the nature of the Narrow Neck Press & Blow process, new Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) and, in some cases, new technology are required to produce N.N.P.B. containers successfully. With the assistance of APEGG, the difference between B.B. and N.N.P.B. can be understood and an action plan for the smooth introduction of the N.N.P.B. forming process can be made.

 

Production & technical assistance

APEGG offers both production and technical assistance covering the whole production process. If production performance in terms of output and quality are not meeting target levels, immediate action is required to minimise the financial impact. 

 

Equipment audit

APEGG offers audit & inspection services, which are pro-active ‘tools’ towards identifying potential problems at an early stage, minimising the risk of unexpected problems and failure, together with extending the life expectancy of equipment. 

 

Plant audit

Plant audits are useful when a new forming process is to be introduced or new markets are to be supplied. For both the glass container manufacturer and their customers, it is good to understand the capabilities of the glass plant before entering into agreements. 

 

Mould design

APEGG assists customers to bring an idea/concept to reality. From the very beginning, our design team aims to ensure that the technical quality of the container, as well as the aesthetic requirements, is of a high standard. APEGG works with the customer, design agency or glass manufacturers.

 

Mould design review

This is a unique troubleshooting service offered by APEGG.

In the event that a container is not performing, APEGG has the know-how to assess existing mould design drawings in order to improve the production process. It is always our aim, where possible, to use existing mould gear. If modifications are not practical, APEGG can offer a complete redesign of the equipment. 

 

Plant concept development

Building a new glass plant is really very exciting, but we also understand the challenges which have to be overcome in order to build such manufacturing facilities. APEGG is assisting investors in glass with the build of a new glass manufacturing facility. APEGG offers tailored concept development programmes. 

 

Forming training

APEGG provides forming training for the different forming processes such as Blow & Blow (B.B.), Press & Blow (P.B.) & Narrow Neck Press & Blow (N.N.P.B.). Training is provided in a classroom environment and is “hands-on”. We offer standard and tailored training programmes to customers around the globe. 

 

Forming defects training

Forming defects have been around since the manufacturing of glass containers. With the ever changing requirements on glass containers (e.g. light weighting) this topic becomes more important than ever. APEGG offers an in-depth training programme for forming defect detection, causes and prevention. 

 

Job Change Training

A job change of a forming machine can be compared with a pit stop at ‘Formula 1’. It is very important in order to win the race. In a glass plant, a good job change means a high first day efficiency rate and with this, an increase P.T.M. 

 

Mould inspection & repair training

Successful glass container production is dependent on well-maintained mould equipment. Not only is the actual container quality influenced by the mould equipment, but it also has a direct impact on the manufacturing costs. APEGG provides advanced training for existing companies to improve mould repair and for new companies to set up the correct mould repair philosophy.
