The Unist system allows an unprecedented level of control in the application of sketch lubricants.
Grand Rapids, MI – Unist, Inc.(www.unist.com).
Designed specifically for beverage can makers, the Unist Apex™ is a lubricant metering system that delivers precise amounts of sketch lubricant to a Unist-Roller® lubricator. The Uni-Roller®, in turn, deposits a uniform, even film of oil on the top and bottom of the aluminum material before it is fed to the sketch press.
This system allows users to program in the exact amount of liquid they would like to apply and ensures that can makers have firm control over draft weights and the amount of oil used in their operation.
The Apex™ provides users with an unparalleled level of fluid control through the use of an electronically controlled positive displacement pump, which also protects against fluctuations in fluid output that can come with changes in fluid viscosity.
PLC-based controls allow for easy setup, troubleshooting and monitoring, and an intuitive color touch screen user interface displays all critical system parameters.
The Apex™ also tracks total lubricant dispensed, making it easy for users to track lubrication costs.
With proven success on hundreds of sketch presses around the world, the decision to upgrade the front-end of your beverage lines is an easy one.
