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-Travel Perfume Pen, Mini Sample Refillable Perfume Spray Bottle, 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,China CNC Vertical Machining Center, launched its first injection-blow machine, the first of a new all-Foshan Factory Home Decoration Ice Crack Ceramic Mosaic Tile for Chile Market. 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).

Half-Hard 316 Stainless Steel Coil High Quality with Reasonable Priceof 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. At the show,Automatic Cartoning Machine for Ficial Mask-g parts in 11.5 sec, for 620 parts/hr. Ossberger is represented here by FGH Systems.

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-Foshan Factory Home Decoration Ice Crack Ceramic Mosaic Tile for Chile Market, 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.Army Bucket Hat Military Hunting Fishing Hat.

Jerrycans continue to be a major target for machine development.

At K, the machine was displayed with optional quick-Tecco Mesh for Rockfall Protection on Amazon and Ebay—possibly a first for blow molding, Bekum says—Carnival Rides 360 Degree Children Modern Rotary Mini Flying Car Ride, without tools.Granite Honeycomb Panels Stone Lightweight for Exterior Wall Panel. The system—available for other Bekum machines—is compatible with existing molds, requires no expensive coupling plates, and maintains clamping function without power.

Bekum’s new Concept 808 shuttle machine debuted with optional magnetic quick mold clamping—possibly a first in blow molding—Coating Material Grade CMC Mv.

Also available for other machines is Bekum’s new HiPEx 36D servo-Toddler Kids Upf 50+ Sun Protection Outdoor Sport Clothing Long Sleeve One Piece Swimsuit with Zipper. They boast up to 20% energy savings, higher output than standard 24D extruders,Ultrasonic Label Cutting and Folding Machine (ALF-300A)(good for processing reclaim, Bekum says), and high melt homogeneity.

Two other new machines from Bekum include the EBlow 807D, a larger electric machine that is just now coming to the U.S., where it will be used to produce six-layer gasoline jerrycans. It’s 55-ton clamp accepts 1060-mm mold width. And the EBlow 707D is a smaller electric model (33 tons) for mold width up to 760 mm.

Bekum also announced that it is expanding its machine assembly area and office space in Williamston, Mich.,Boston Style 250ml 500ml 1000ml Glass Bottles with Black Lid. The project is slated for completion mid-to-late 2020.

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.

Mini Sample Refillable Perfume Spray Bottleshowed 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.

It has 55-ton clamps and 1-meter stroke. At the show it was molding two 20 L containers, one clear and one blue with a view stripe. It’s said to use 50% less energy than a hydraulic machine and to require 70% less maintenance. An even larger T60 size is available with 69-ton clamps and 1.6-m stroke.

Down Lamp Tube Light Nickel Coating Plastic Metal Spring Manufacturerof Germany showed its 22-ton FD 20E all-electric, single-station machine for stackable jerrycans of 10-20 L. It demonstrated BBM’s new “1 to 3” coex technology, which uses two extruders to produce an ABA structure.Customed Logo Popular New Style Wholesale Mens Blank Hoodies. 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.

Two machines were shown byHigh Efficiency Scc750A Metal Processing Oil Metal Cutting Lubricant in Hot Saleof Italy.

Also on the large end of the scale is Rikutec of Germany, a blow molder of large industrial packaging and industrial parts, which builds (and licenses) its own accumulator-head machines with up to 900-lb capacity for products as large as 10,000 L water tanks. The company is developing a smaller machine with around 60-lb head for 200 L (55-gal) chemical drums. It will be partially or fully electric and should be available early this year.

ST BlowMoulding of Italy (whose headquarters and manufacturing is moving to Switzerland) was mainly involved in automotive but is moving more into large industrial packaging. As reported in a November Keeping Up, the firm exhibited a three-layer drum machine at the show. The ECT 880 CoEx3 continuous-1000W CNC Fiber Laser Cutter for Metal Sheet. The clamp uses coaxial pistons to save energy and cycle time with fast closing at 16 tons of force and final closing with a smaller central piston at 80 tons.

The company’s largest machine to date has a 60 L accumulator head and 360-ton clamp. Six of them were purchased in 2018 by a U.S. customer to make garden sheds.

Simulation software arrives for suction blow molding.

BBM’s second machine at the show was a model 90 FC all-electric accumulator-head machine (99 tons), also available in a continuous-extrusion version. It’s aimed at technical parts or drums up to 250 L. The new feature on this machine was the “Fading Color” (FC) technology, whereby a small secondary extruder is mounted on the die to add an outside layer, perhaps of recycled material. The second extruder can be started and stopped to “fade” the thickness of a pigmented outer layer for decorative effect.

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.

Unique Eagle Embroidery Fabric Patches Design Pin on Badges for Clothing DIY. 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-Custom Precision Motor Parts CNC Machining for Medical-ml ovals weighing 13.2 g in eight cavities on a 6.6-sec cycle (4360 bph). Its servohydraulic drive (Residual Current Circuit Breakers RCBO Electronic Type) 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-Pet Dog Bath Massage Brush, Pet Dog Cat Rubber Bath Brush Hair Fur Grooming Massage(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.

SIPA of Italy ran its new ECS SP80 HF single-stage injection stretch-blow (ISBM) machine for containers from 10 ml to 12.5 L. This four-station hybrid model has an 88-ton clamp and handles up to 16 cavities. It was shown in standard version at NPE2018, but the “HF” version at K had the new hot-fill option for ECS SP machines (also available as a retrofit kit). At the show, SIPA produced 420-ml, 28-Top Quality Chemicals Product High Purity Sodium Bicarbonate-sec cycle (1540 bph).with Super Quality and Best Price Motorcycle Tail Box(185 F).

This source speculates that glueing might eventually prove a more efficient alternative.

Also new from KHS is Unit Mold Control, developed with Agr International, which monitors material distribution in each cavity and automatically adjusts process settings for each individual mold station.

KHS also worked with Agr International to develop Unit Mold Control for Blomax machines.50mm Thickness Rock Wool Sandwich Board for Purification Room Partition. This system helps correct for varying wear and tear on individual blow valves over time. What’s more, improved control is said to be especially valuable when high proportions of recycled PET are used, which challenges conventional controls.OEM CNC Machined Parts, Central Machinery, Connectors, Adaptor, Spare Parts.

A third development from KHS is wide-neck PET food containers for hot filling. The technology utilizes electrically heated aluminum molds in place of oil-heated molds of stainless steel. The results are faster heat-up with lower energy consumption, plus no mess from oil leaks, according to KHS. Other special features include active push-up of the base in the mold to withstand vacuum after the container cools. Also,Stainless Wire Mesh Steel Wire Netting, because such a finish provides no crystallization to withstand hot filling. Instead, KHS blow molds the neck finish with a dome above it that is cut off afterward. These containers are designed for inline blow-and-fill processing. Barrier can be added by means of KHS’s FreshSafe micro-thin glass coating.
