Materials & Processes
Stainless steel
Construction material of the Necksterilizer and the vacuum bridges; meets hygiene standards of the beverage, food and pharmaceutical industries.
Aluminium
Material of processed empty cans in the vacuum bridges (VTU).
Steel (high-alloy)
Treated can material in the vacuum bridges, including rejection of high-alloy steels.
PET
Bottle material that is sterilized in the neck and head area of the Necksterilizer during hot filling.
Glass
Bottle material for the Necksterilizer, which works shape-independently without conversion.
Plastic
Material of cosmetic packaging and cans that are conveyed, filled or packaged in Whystler systems.
Copper
Material of coupling caps into which a Whystler bearing press is integrated.
