The ability to design changeparts for difficult to handle, awkward shaped containers is where Zepf Technologies UK is different from an ordinary supplier. Whether handling glass, PET, polyethylene, polypropylene, other plastic composite materials or metal containers Zepf UK can design parts to give maximum performance.

Specific design standards are employed dependant upon the type of material from which the container is manufactured. We are also very aware of the importance of the quality to the customer of their finished product and eliminating scuffing or scratching on delicate containers is a fundamental part of our design.

To date we have designed parts that have been retrofitted to numerous machines ranging in size from 3cl to 5L. Containers being square, round, triangular, rectangular, hexagonal, kidney shaped, oval, and other complex shapes are seen as ' normal ' to our skilled and experienced designers.

Design of special container applications such as spotting for label positioning, orientating, neck handling or gripper systems for transferring, cleaning, filling and capping are also standard supply.

Within our factory we have created a test loop where a customer can carry out trials with or without Zepf UK personnel and physically test container handling through feedscrews / conveyor crossovers and bends.

This facility is especially attractive to customers introducing a new product where there is doubt about the stability of the container.
