Due to increasing demand, Forbes sister company, The Pall Ring Company, has invested in the latest moulding machine technology, to increase the output of the popular AstraPAK media.

The new machine, installed earlier this month, is the latest BOY 55 tonne injection moulding machine which will increase outputs by up to 30%, due to the faster moulding process. Not only has the machine increased output, it has also reduced power consumption by as much as 35%. This improvement has ensured The Pall Ring Company can still maintain prices, which have seen very little increase since 2009, despite rises in material & energy costs.

The Pall Ring Company now run a total of 7 BOY moulding machines which have given excellent reliability through the years, running 24/7.
