Berry Global is a multi-billion-dollar plastic packaging manufacturer with over 100 sites in North America. Compressed air is a critical part of blow molding, injection molding, and other processes that require a reliable air source to maintain quality and productivity. Specific uses for compressed air include: operating cylinders and valves, creating vacuums to convey parts, blowing bottles with high-pressure air and more
With many different processes and plants, Berry Global values air compressor reliability and versatility. Some plants have over a dozen air compressors running all out all the time; other plants use fewer compressors running at 50% of their capacity. What’s more, engineers must demonstrate a two-year payback before a new compressor project moves forward.
With a broad portfolio from which to choose, Berry Global can find an equipment configuration to meet specific challenges. Plus, with an optional remote monitoring package, critical operating and efficiency parameters can be accessed and data logged to simplify operations and maintenance.
“Other OEMs may offer efficient machines that are not very reliable—or reliable machines that aren’t very efficient. Our experience is that Kaishan equipment kind of falls at a good balance point for reliability and efficiency in our applications.”
