A customer recently asked us to inspect a brand-new blow moulding machine with parison control issues. Our technicians discovered metal contamination — metal trapped between the parison rod and mandrel — causing significant disruption. The parts had to be reconditioned, and the machine was offline for an entire week.


💸 The Impact:


  • Product weight and wall issues

  • Costly repairs or part replacements

  • A week of lost production


✅ Simple Steps to Prevent It:


  1. Install Metal Detection

  2. Use Lidded Material Bins

  3. Inspect Recycled Materials Thoroughly



Protect your machinery. Avoid delays. Keep production moving.
