Technology for a sustainable blow moulding
Once again Plastiblow, Italian manufacturer of extrusion blow moulding machines for over 50 years, took part at the K show in Düsseldorf, where it exhibited a full electric blow moulding machine producing cosmetic style bottles. The PB14-800ED displayed at its booth, a double station, servo-driven class A machine with 800-mm mould holder stroke, 100-mm extruder diameter, 300-kg/h plasticising capacity and 14-ton clamping force, produces bottles by 6 cavities per side with 120-mm centre distance. The extrusion head has been designed to allow a greater control of the parison and permits even quicker colour changes.
Two servo-driven axis robots pick up the bottles after deflashing and place them on a linear belt conveyor, which sends all the production to a single collection point. Thanks to the new modern design of the machine structure, the footprint is now much more compact.
The PB14-800/D is equipped with an in-line quality control device for the bottles, giving the possibility to check and discard any defective pieces. The device checks the presence of micro-holes, deformation and obstruction of the neck and detects sprues.
Plastiblow has over 15 years of experience in the manufacture of electric machines, and has installed worldwide a large numbers of them, each working reliably with complete satisfaction of the customers, who also appreciate the advantages offered by its equipment: reduced environmental impact, lower energy consumption, increased productivity, greater reliability and lower maintenance costs.
