MEASURE

Improving Blowmolder Operations

Agr’s patented Pilot Profiler measurement technology provides the means to monitor material distrubution over the entire sidewall of every bottle, accurately and repeatedly. This is the first step in providing the feedback critical for closed-loop blowmolder operation.

With the addition of CrystalView, base characteristics can also be measured for effective material utilization.

Pilot Profiler, a measurement tool.

Precision measurement on every bottle, in real time.

Pilot Profiler provides high precision non-contact thickness and distribution measurements on PET bottles at the point of production.

  • Continuous measurements on every bottle
  • Distribution monitoring over the entire bottle sidewall
  • Repeatability to +/- 0.003 mm
