8 MACHINE FROM GPS

Heinz-Glas has chosen an IS 8 section machine from Glas
Produktions-Service (GPS) for its Piesau, Germany plant,
which will produce articles at high speed in single, double
and triple gob mode.
GPS recently patented six technological developments,
which are new to the entire industry.
These innovations, as well as the made-in-Germany quality,
process reliability, efficiency and environmental performance
convinced Heinz-Glas – a long-term customer of GPS – to
award the IS machines manufacturer with the order.
The machine is scheduled to go under glass this month.
