NALBACH ENGINEERING COMPANY RECEIVES PATENT ON NEXT GENERATION
HIGH-SPEED
PLASTIC BOTTLE UNSCRAMBLER.
Countryside, IL (USA). October, 2006.
On October 10, 2006 Nalbach Engineering Company was awarded U.S. patent
7,117,987 for its next
generation high-speed plastic bottle unscrambler.
The trade name for this system is
NECOSORT-III.
The NECOSORT-III’s patented design employs a sorting drum that is turned
vertically, significantly reducing the overall footprint of the system and has
only two moving parts providing significantly less maintenance and downtime when
compared to older technology systems.
According to John C. Nalbach, President of Nalbach Engineering Company and
the inventor of the NECOSORT-III, “The first NECOSORT-III was installed in April
of 2005 to sort feed 500 ml water bottles at a rate of 600 bottles per minute.
Since then we have sold over $3.9 million of these systems and have released 4
different models of the NECOSORT-III, the fastest running at 1,000 bottles per
minute.”
Nalbach also states, “All our customers to date are multi-billion dollar
multinational companies and are leaders in their respective industries. It
is very satisfying to see these world class companies selecting our next
generation technology to help them improve efficiencies and reduce cost.”
Nalbach Engineering is also in the middle of a plant expansion to meet the
growing demand for the NECOSORT-III. This expansion will increase the area
of their manufacturing plant by 50% and is slated to be completed in December of
2006.
