P 2 / ISX 24-01
Servo ISX Machine
A container glass IS (Individual Section) machine is the core forming machine used to manufacture glass containers such as bottles and jars. It receives precisely cut molten glass gobs from the feeder and forms them into finished containers through a sequence of automated processes, including pressing or blowing in individual machine sections. Each section operates independently, allowing high production rates, excellent flexibility, and continuous operation with minimal downtime. Modern servo-controlled IS machines further improve product quality, energy efficiency, changeover times, and process control through advanced automation and digital monitoring.
