Meyer Plastics Dedicates Brown Thermoforming Machine to 40 Year Employee Lorris Brown

(PRWEB) January 30, 2005 -- In a celebration on January 5th in their Indianapolis facility, Meyer Plastics Inc. President Ralph R. Meyer recognized the 40 years of service by Plant Manager Lorris Brown. Employees, vendors and family alike gathered as Brown was presented a congratulatory plaque and “thermoforming machine” cake, as well as a “naming dedication” for a newly-installed rotary thermoforming machine from Brown Machine LLC
“Lorris has been instrumental to the success of our company’s growth and profitability,” stated Meyer. “His knowledge of the thermoforming process and how a contract thermoforming business is successfully operated is unmatched today.”
The new machine is now named “The L. Brown Thermoformer”—and for good reason, says Meyer. “He really felt strongly about replacing the older machine with the new technology, because it took a lot of tweaking that only his years of experience could make productive—and that worried him about our future thermoforming capacity/operation (especially in what happens after his retirement),” said Meyer. “Now, the new machine can be set-up and operated by personnel with much less experience…and gray in their hair!”
Meyer Plastics recently purchased a second rotary thermoforming machine from Brown Machine to replace a 30 year old machine, helping the company to greatly increase production rates, reduce set-up times, and provide better quality work for our contract customers, according to Meyer. The Brown R-223E-46 Rotary Thermoformer can process 4’x6’ sheet sizes, offers PLC digital control/touch screen (greatly improved analog/timer performance compared to older machine being replaced), quick-adjusting sheet clamp systems for faster set-up, infrared ovens with solid-state zone control and many other performance and safety features. (Meyer has operated a larger rotary Brown thermoformer since 1995, as well.)
