“A. Best Inter Products” : A package manufacturer in Thailand
ABIP is a leading package manufacturer that provides one-stop solutions from design to manufacturing of bottles and jar containers primarily used for cosmetics. The company processes materials like plastic and aluminum and has a broad product lineup that includes cosmetics, daily necessities, and automotive parts. The company's strength lies in its ability to handle everything in-house, from design to manufacturing (mold creation to production management).
Lathes and other machining tools are particularly utilized in the mold manufacturing process, and Moretech's hinge type conveyor was implemented to enhance manufacturing efficiency.
Elimination of Chip Entanglement and Reduction of Machine Downtime
Prior to the implementation of Moretech's chip conveyor, ABIP faced the following challenges:
Chips tended to get entangled around the shaft during processing.
Chip discharge problems caused machine stoppages, resulted in downtime.
It has been about three months since the implementation of Moretech's chip conveyor, and work efficiency has significantly improved compared to before.
✔ Troubles with chip entanglement were resolved, leading to improved productivity.
✔ Maintenance of the chip conveyor is almost unnecessary, making overall machine maintenance easier.
✔ Chip collection has been simplified.
✔ Daily production has increased due to improved work efficiency in machining.

When a chip conveyor is installed, we ensure that it is ready for use immediately after delivery by providing thorough support, including on-site operational testing and follow-up with the factory staff.
Extensive Spare Parts Inventory in Thailand
Support for Repairs and Customizations of Chip Conveyors made by other companies
Moretech (Thailand) provides conveyor design and customization services tailored to customers' needs. The conveyors are designed and manufactured locally in Thailand, and clients appreciate speedy customer service by Thai and Japanese staff.
In addition, the company maintains a large inventory of various spare parts locally and offers repair and customization services for chip conveyors from other manufacturers. This capability is a key strength, as it allows for reduced transportation costs and shorter lead times for repairs and customizations within Thailand. In recent years, there has been an increase in inquiries regarding the customization of existing products.
Mr. Chaiwat and Mr. Saranyu from ABIP, who use the machines on-site, have evaluated Moretech's chip conveyors as follows: "In the future, we plan to increase the number of chip conveyors as we expand production. We are impressed with the performance and ease of use of Moretech's chip conveyors and are considering them as our top choice."
