Injection & Co-injection Blow

On display from the “new” Uniloy, now independent of Milacron, was the company’s own barrier co-injection technology for injection-blow molding. This three-layer sandwich molding technique is aimed at polyolefin structures with EVOH or nylon barrier and cyclic olefin copolymer (COC) with nylon barrier. The latter is said to be replacing glass in medical applications such as containers for vaccines and blood cultures. (Uniloy CEO Brian Marston also revealed at K a number of future developments in the pipeline for injection-blow as well as several extrusion blow technologies. See last month’s Starting Up.)

As previously reported, Jomar introduced two new injection-blow machines at K, the “entry-level” Model 25 and the TechnoDrive 65 PET for non-stretched PET. Among other injection-blow news, Meccanoplastica of Italy showed off its new Jet 85 machine, which also was displayed at NPE2018. This 85-ton model is an intermediate size in the three-station, all-Chinese Plastic Mold Manufacturers, Plastic Mold Injection Molding, which extends from the Jet 55 to Jet 120. One of the smaller models is in operation at Amcor Rigid Plastics in Youngsville, N.C., and one of the largest size is used by Drug Plastics in Boyertown, Pa.

Another Italian producer,Electric Croissant Dough Moulding Machine Baking Bread Dough Roll, launched its first injection-blow machine, the first of a new all-Rain Downspout Pipe Roll Forming Machine. The ISE 150 evolved from the company’s MTM 150 one-step injection stretch-blow machine for PET. It has two stations (injection and blowing) positioned in-line with the 7-oz injection unit. Injection clamp force is 16 tons. Parisons are oriented vertically. Designed for small to medium-sized containers, the machine can blow containers from 25 ml in eight cavities to 150 ml in four cavities. Energy consumption is said to be from 4.3 to 6 kW.

Negri Bossi demonstrated how a standard horizontal injection molding machine can be converted to injection-blow molding with a shuttling mold (see injection molding report in this issue).

www.qingdaoflrope.comof Germany showed the newest version of its Pressblower system, a unique combination of injection and extrusion blow molding. Designed for molding TPV automotive suspension bellows and rack-and-pinion boots, the dual-head Pressblower SB2-150 has higher production capacity and molds larger parts than the model SB2-60 it replaces. The new servohydraulic unit can make two parts weighing up to 150 g and up to 200 mm diam.

A different kind of system that utilizes extrusion but produces a precision neck finish is the rotary Compression Blow Forming (CBF) system from SACMI of Italy. Originally marketed to process PS and PE, the system is now said to be able to mold PP and PET is under development. Stretch rods can be added to the basic process. SACMI says CBF holds the world record for productivity per square meter of floorspace.

Extrusion Blow Big & Small

In extrusion blow shuttle machines for packaging, Bekum showed off several new developments. One was the prototype of a new all-Rain Downspout Pipe Roll Forming Machine, called the Concept 808 (see September Keeping Up). It has a clean new look, new control system, large 24-in. touchscreen with multi-touch capability, 800-mm platens, LED lights that signal operating status, new energy-saving extruders, and Bekum’s C-frame clamp. The new Bekum Control 8.0 is described as “Industry 4.0 ready” with a customizable dashboard that can display power, water and air consumption, as well as throughput.Top Quality Sarms Powder Yk11 /Yk-11 CAS1370003-76-1 for Bodybuilding.

Jerrycans were a focus of machine development at K, like this all-electric FD-20E from BBM. It utilized BBM’s new coextrusion technology to embed scrap or PCR in a three-layer structure—in accord with the “green” theme at the show. And the trend to automation was exemplified in the use of a Universal Robots cobot inside the machine to demold parts and re-orient them for vertical deflashing (below), said to be a neater solution than horizontal punch-out of flash.

Zinc Plated Carbon Steel Stamping Plateshowed its largest shuttle machine, the model 900, equipped for EPET. Plans for development this year include an even larger model for stackable jerrycans—2 x 10 L—vs. a maximum product size of 5 L currently. Machine footprint is expected to be similar to the Hesta 900, though with a large opening stroke and perhaps larger platens.

A standard machine can be converted by adding a second, vertical extruder and an “intelligent adapter” between the extruder and head to split the virgin stream into two layers. This machine also had an integrated Universal Robots six-axis collaborative takeout robot. Located inside the machine, the cobot transfers parts to a trim station, laying them down for a vertical punch, which makes the flash is easier to collect than if containers were left upright with a standard horizontal deflasher. Afterward, the cobot places containers upright on a conveyor. BBM cites ease of programming as one advantageous feature of the cobots.

News in PET

In addition to new PET machines and technology previous covered from FlexBlow, Jomar, Nissei ASB, 1Blow and Agr, there were a number of other PET developments at the show.

Garden Decorative Wooden Flower Pot with Blackboard. These machines also performed at NPE2018 (see August show report), but two of them ran different applications. For example, the general-purpose model AL-500-Full Color Cheap Softcover Book Printing-ml ovals weighing 13.2 g in eight cavities on a 6.6-sec cycle (4360 bph). Its servohydraulic drive (Oeko-Tex 6mm 7mm 8mm 9mm 10mm 11mm 12mm Metal Jeans Rivet) is said to cut power usage by around 40%.

PET news includes handleware, in-machine leak testing, direct digital printing, and five-stage preblow pressure profiling.

Also,the general-purpose AL-500LL-50S ran 500-Travel Perfume Pen, Mini Sample Refillable Perfume Spray Bottle(vs. PET at NPE) weighing 20 g in five cavities on a 7.3-sec cycle (2465 bph). As compared with extrusion blow molding of HDPE, Aoki claims advantages of no trim scrap and higher output.
