After a decade of experience with fully-electric technology for injection-blow moulding machines, Meccanoplastica (located near Florence, Italy) now offers the new HL350 fully-electric machine for extrusion-blow moulding.
This 2-station machine features a mould carriage with 350-400-mm horizontal stroke, 60-kN clamping force and a 70- or 90-mm (L/D = 24) screw, in both cases with a speed up to 90 rpm. The machine can produce containers with a capacity up to 3 litres in a 2-second cycle time.
