Tooling tailored to the container and machine

ESOMATEC develops and manufactures container-specific tooling for the hollow glass industry.

Our focus is on delivering the right technical solution with short lead times and fast availability, keeping your production running efficiently.

Standard star wheel rollers can be found in our spare parts catalogue. For requirements outside the standard range, we develop custom solutions.

Complete tooling sets

If several components are required for a container, we can design and manufacture the complete tooling set. The individual components are matched to the container and the respective machine.

This gives you the tooling components required for one container from a single source.

Individual components

Containers vary in shape and dimensions. At the same time, the machine defines how the container must be guided, transported and positioned. The tooling is therefore designed for the specific application.

We manufacture both individual components and complete tooling sets for a container.

In-house engineering & manufacturing

We design and manufacture custom tooling in-house. Our design engineers work directly with production. Adjustments can therefore be implemented without long coordination loops.

We define material and design to suit the container and the respective application. On this basis, we can also realise special solutions outside our standard range.

Short paths. Short lead times.

Because engineering and manufacturing are brought together in one place, we can transfer new requirements into production quickly. This shortens development and production time and enables short lead times, even for customer-specific tooling.

Star wheel rollers to suit the application

We offer standard star wheel rollers for common applications. The available versions can be found in our spare parts catalogue.

If you need a different geometry or dimension, we design and manufacture the star wheel roller to suit your container and your machine.

Custom star wheel rollers

Various shapes and diameters are available for custom star wheel rollers. Depending on the application, we manufacture the rollers from POM or TPU. Special geometries can also be realised.

The right material for your application

The choice of material depends on the application and the technical requirements placed on the tooling.

We manufacture star wheel rollers from materials including POM and PU. For other tooling components, we select the material to suit the intended use.

POMTPU

Required material declarations and certificates can be provided on a project basis. This includes, for example, proof of FDA conformity.

From inquiry to finished tooling

The process starts with the data for the container and the machine. On this basis, we design the required tooling and prepare the engineering.

We then select the appropriate material and manufacture the components in-house. Engineering and production coordinate directly with each other throughout the process.

01

Clarify requirements

We collect the relevant data on the container, machine and operating conditions.

02

Design the tooling

Based on this information, we design the required components and define their configuration.

03

Define the material

The material is selected to match the application and the technical requirements.

04

Manufacture the components

Once the design is complete, we manufacture the individual components or the complete tooling set in-house.

Documented for easy repeat ordering

Custom tooling components and tooling sets are documented as part of the respective order. If the same tooling is needed again later, the existing project documentation can be used.

Agreed material information and certificates are also assigned to the respective project.

This simplifies the repeat ordering of previously manufactured components.

Your container. The right tooling.

Do you need tooling for a new container or would you like to supplement an existing setup?

Send us the relevant details about the container and the machine. We will review the requirements and discuss the appropriate version with you.
