AIS

Advanced Pneumatic Glass Container Forming

The AIS machine is recognized by the industry as the superior performer among pneumatically driven glass container forming machines. A combination of valued features, including parallel Mold Open and Close MOC mechanism, pneumatic operation, high efficiency VertiFlow cooling, and built-in flexibility, make the AIS machine top of its class.

The next generation AIS is built to give glassmakers even more, with many new features designed to deliver enhanced performance, better production, and reduced maintenance on the forming line.
