MAER SB3 Series plastic bottle neck spin trimming machines

MAER has released the SB3 Series of spin trimmers for neck cutting of plastic bottles and containers.

The SB3 series is based on the superseded TC-4 model, but includes a number of improvements such as: reduced footprint, improved accessibility from both sides of the machine, simplified format changeover, and easier access for cutting blade changeover and adjustment.

The machine has an open design to allow for a greater degree of control and visual inspection of the bottles during the trimming process.

The series has been designed to handle small plastic bottles made by extrusion blow moulding for food use - in particular, single-serve yoghurt drink bottles. The machine can be integrated post the blow moulder or into the filling line before the bottle filler.

According to the company, the machines offer production outputs of up to 8000 bottles per hour.
