G.E.M. Flexibility
Cost Control Technology
Efficiency Defines this Technology
Plastipak spins the G.E.M. Wheel for efficiency and high levels of output control. Thanks to its cost-effective technology, this remarkable PAK process provides speed to market and rolls out respectable revenue advantages, too.
Our Exclusive G.E.M. PAK Advantage
This proprietary Wheel technology provides efficient blow systems to service ever-changing package demands. With increased flexibility from our new quick-change molds, these platforms are well suited to manufacture a wide variety of container shapes and sizes.
Less Variation, Higher Bottle Quality
Through advanced methodology, a single parison improves consistency with less cavity-to-cavity variation, and our nitrogen gas clamping mechanics provide consistent clamp force, yielding high bottle quality and longer mold life. Furthermore, Plastipak's Wheel process virtually eliminates problems due to in-mold label placement.
G.E.M. Wheel Benefits
Benefits of this technology include choices in platforms and stations, from our Mini-G.E.M to our full-size G.E.M. PAK Wheel. There are options for sizing, conversion from mono-layer to multi-layer, quick changeovers, minimal investment and the built-in values of reduced variability and higher reliability.
