Vidrio Formas has successfully installed Heye International’s latest SmartLine 2 including Ranger 2 check inspection equipment to deliver high performance at its new Mexican production site in Lerma.
The equipment is required to service an expansion of production capacities at Vidrio Formas, which has recently opened a second glass packaging facility with a new furnace and two additional production lines.
High performance inspection, a reduction of spare parts inventories, reduced operating costs and the Smartline’s 2 digitisation capabilities were essential elements in Vidrio Formas’s purchasing decision.
“We have known Heye International as a reliable partner for many years. The inspection machines meet all of our requirements,” said Alex Schneeweiss, Operations Manager at Vidrio Formas. “Reliability and failure safety are particularly important to us, based on good experience of the Heye professionals. For these reasons we have ordered two more inspection machines.”
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, users were trained by Heye personnel on site in Mexico. The customer commissioned the machines supported remotely by Heye staff.
