Vertical Multi Station Deflash, PLC controlled, and quick changeovers
The 4000 Series can be built with as many as nine stations, resulting in lines speeds well over 100 containers per minute.
MTM’s 4000 series Deflashers feature our own, unique method of trimming flash cleanly & efficiently. Our deflash tooling is custom machined from your digital files. This process allows us to produce the finest deflash tooling in the industry. The combination of our bottle-specific capture nests and our shear punch tooling enables our deflashing systems to cut containers precisely using less power and causing less vibration than competing systems.

*Bottles per minute are only approximate. 6 up on 13” centers will net a max of 70 bpm. 12 up will net 120 bpm on 7.5” tooling centerlines. Speed is solely dependent on bottle size and shape. Lectro/MTM will look at the customer bottles and provide an estimate of bpm upon request.
Specifications are subject to change without notice. Guards are supplied and must be in place before operation. All sales are subject to our prevailing terms and conditions of sale. Other options available upon request.
