Driven by environmental concerns, several glass industry leaders, including Stoelzle, pumps and brands, have joined forces to form a Flaconnage Géométrie working group at CETIE*. The result is a new range of screw rings in 13/15/17, adapted to market needs for reusable and/or easy-to-recycle bottles.
The Flacon Neck Geometry group has been working for many months on a short screw-ring option and on the FEA screw-ring/same-height screw-ring interchangeability option. Instead of traditional FEA crimp rings, these new-standard screw rings should be as short as possible, enabling the same pump covers to be used as their crimp counterparts, while guaranteeing good screwing and optimum unscrewing braking.
A new cubic 100 ml bottle with short screw ring from Stoelzle
This new top-of-the-range model is the perfect fit for this innovative screw ring, which separates and recycles all the components.. For over a year now, the entire Stoelzle team has been carrying out numerous technical tests on customer lines, which have led to the approval of numerous market-leading brands.
These bushes have brakes in the thread that have been adapted and tested in real-life conditions, guaranteeing good screwing and reducing anti-unscrewing.
This new offer enables each customer to interchange between FEA or VIS rings, depending on the brand's strategy, project and packaging line adaptation time.
