Turkish container glass manufacturing company Şişecam Glass Packaging is set to install XPAR Vision’s infrared gobweight control (IGC) systems in its three facilities in Yenisehir, Eskisehir and Mersin.
The installation of the new XPAR Vision IGC systems at the blow-blow production lines will enable Şişecam to extend the control over the forming process by automatic closed loop control of the weight of the gobs.

Şişecam Glass Packaging group production vice-president Mustafa Çetiner said: “The hot end systems from XPAR Vision help us to increase our performance in terms of quality and output.
“The technology allow our operators and specialists to continuously reduce the variations in the forming process.”
The new XPAR Vision Hot End systems allow the operator to facilitate manufacturing operations and use the benefits of the automated closed loop to regulate the production of stable weight bottles, with an accuracy of less than 0.3% of the bottle weight.
Eskisehir plant production manager Cengizhan Göçer said: “We have installed XPAR Vision IGC systems for gob weight control in several blow-blow production lines and we are appreciated to their performance.
