Customised product turners for the packaging and beverage industry
Save up to 70% costs with the igus 3D printing solution
Precise turning of packaging such as beverage cans, tins and jars is an essential step in conveyor belt systems in the beverage, cosmetics and food industries. High volumes and speeds require a solution that is equally cost-efficient, flexible and durable. Previously used product turners made from bent steel wires or milled plastic blocks are expensive, difficult to customise and often cause material waste. This is where the 3D printing technology from igus comes in. With product turners made of wear-resistant iglidur i150 tribofilament, manufacturers can save over 70% production costs and over 90% material, while at the same time reducing the CO₂ footprint by over 85%. The customised design makes the turners adaptable for all can formats and enables easy cleaning through the integrated maintenance opening. It is made from a tribologically optimised material designed for continuous operation in industrial environments.
Product used
Product turners made from the high-performance iglidur i150 filament are manufactured in the in-house igus 3D printing service using the FDM process. Thanks to the design freedom and speed of additive manufacturing, the product turners can be flexibly adapted to any can and container shape.
