Titomic Limited announced that the glass mould coating System (System) delivered to Vetropack in Austria has passed its Site Acceptance Test. During May 2022, Titomic Europe delivered its first glass mould coating System which was developed in collaboration with the the International Partners in Glass Research. The System scans the moulds, and using AI software, produces a robotic program to automatically coat and repair moulds.

This breakthrough System for automated cold spray, which will significantly enhance the performance of moulds for the glass industry thereby improving productivity and safety, was successfully installed at Vetropack. The System was fully tested and approved for introduction into daily operation at Vetropack by TÜV Austria. TÜV provides certifications and inspections for equipment across Europe.

TÜV's safety and certification protocols are considered to be extremely rigorous. Now, Titomic expects that subsequent inspections of comparative systems will be completed more quickly, allowing for accelerated sales and installations into the European and American glass manufacturing markets and other IPGR partner companies. This System, is also expected to deliver ongoing revenue for consumables and metal powders of $1.1 million over the next 3 years.

The System is the first of its kind and this successful installation opens up opportunities at glass bottle manufacturing facilities globally, allowing Titomic to not only benefit from further sales of the Systems but also create an ongoing income stream with sales of consumables and metal powders.
