State Manufacturing Information

Pucks keep the bottles clean. When bottles continuosly rub on rail systems for example, smudging and label damage can result. Pucks keep hard to handle bottles such as Tottles upright with their nozzle openings centered within the puck for a predictable filling target. Different bottles can be run on the same filling line with little or no change over time and expense. This is because the bottles fit in a puck who's dimensional footprint is common for all bottles. The change parts are designed for use with the puck footprint, and not each bottle. So to change over to a new bottle, just change out the pucks. For contract packagers the intial start up costs for a new bottle filling project are known. This helps in providing a competive bid. Goal Post Puck for filling, capping, and labeling Pucks can be designed for multiple operations. For example, a Goal Post puck can be used to fill, cap, and label within one orbit of the filling line. Challenge us with your engineering request. If you have a part you think may be difficult to produce or more economical to injection mold, don't be afraid to ask us. We may run, but we may take on the project. We love a challenge. State Manufacturing started as a patternmaking shop in 1919 by two Swedish immigrants. State quickly established itself as a high quality patternmaking shop. In the 1930z, State began manufacturing, among other machinery, top of the line disk and spindle sanders. Before State's involvment with pucks, the original pucks were made from aluminum castings. The process started with a wood pattern from which aluminum castings were made. The aluminum castings were machined and washers were installed with screws. Known as a high quality pattern shop, State Mfg was approached in 1965 to make patterns for puck castings. State had experience in plastic injection molding from their involvment in molding parts for the agriculture industry. After some development work by State, pucks became a plastic injection molded part replacing the expensive aluminum casting ...
