LPBB® ---- (Light Production Blow&Blow)

Blow and Blow Light weighting of Glass containers.
The LPBB system is a vast improvement on other types on the market. You can install LPBB generators and obtain a 85kPa vacuum in 200 ms from your compressed air. You manage a compact system where vacuum is generated next to the place of consumption, and only for period of time that is necessary. This system is extremely cost effective, and offers a real alternative to NNPB for some customers.

The technology is based on the use of vacuum on the blank side of a glass forming machine and brings the following benefits:

  • Better quality containers due to uniform glass distribution and settle wave reduction.
  • Real possibility of bottle weight reduction and production speed increase.
  • This system consists of highly reliable components with perfect stability and repeatability
  • Significant glass container cost reduction.
  • Extremely favourable cost effectiveness in comparison with NNPB
  • Easy to install on the machine, easy to learn and run.
  • Versatile technology that can be installed on any IS machine.
