One of the show machines is known as the "Creme 60". The Creme 60 is a highly accurate monoblock filling and capping solution for processing cream jars, make-up bottles, airless containers, mini-dispensers, mini-rollers and lotion bottles. The machine has filling and closing capabilities of up to 60 units per minute. "Our Creme 60 is part of groninger’s business-line concept and carries on the ready-engineered philosophy of groninger," explains Dornburg. It offers short delivery times and versatility (500 configuration options). Additionally, the Creme 60’s compact design is a perfect fit for multiple puck sizes and or multiple puck-less configurations. These are just a few of the key benefits of the Creme 60.
