The new CMCV staining system is able to decorate glass bottles in a sustainable, durable and permanent way. After five years of design and two years of construction, with an investment of over 2 million euros, today has three cabins with 12 dispensers each. The changeover and control of the guns are now managed by an electronic control of the system and the regulation of the guns. The technology provides some significant advantages:
• Ability to set saved recipes ensuring high precision process standardization and digitization;
• Ability to create new custom machining, increasing the range of special effects, decorable formats and quality;
• Data control and waste reduction;
• Decrease in process times due to the use of super-opaque colors and the single passage inside the three cabins, with a view to a satisfactory uniformity,
• Yield 20 to 30% more and cost reduction
• Reduction of atmospheric emissions.
Not only better performance, but a new patent. In fact, the CMCV patent becomes the second. We will not only talk about Molecular Change of the Color of Glass but also about Molecular Change with Vitrifiable Colors: the staining technique that, without using steam or nitrogen, goes directly on the glass allowing to obtain colors free of lithium and lead and to inhibit, as demonstrated by the tests for Proposition 65, the use of cadmium traditionally and inevitably used for red, yellow and their derivatives.
To date, the new innovation has attracted attention and approval from large groups, customers and glassworks. Paolo Lorusso, however, promises: «The plant has just started but we do not stop here, we are already thinking about improvements and new machinery!». Stay tuned!
