The first of two A212 capping machines will be delivered to Argo Group, based in Greece. For almost 50 years Argo develops and manufactures plastic containers. The new A212 capping machine made by Hinterkopf will be delivered to Argo’s facility in Athens, Greece and will produce high quality plastic collapsible tubes. The proven A212 will handle a wide spectrum with tube diameters between 19 – 50mm, and various caps and closures, with or without orientation of the cap. The new machine will be tested in the Hinterkopf factory in Eislingen, Germany in mid December. After conclusion of the tests, the machine will be shipped to its final destination in Athens.

The second machine type A212 will ship to tube manufacturer Tuboplast in St.Petersburg, Russia. The fully equipped A212 will apply caps to tubes with diameters ranging from 25 to 50mm. Acceptance testing is planned for mid January in Eislingen. Upon completion of the tests the machine will ship to St.Petersburg.
