Principle
This machine has 2 main axes equipped with linear drive technology allowing great modularity and reduced maintenance.
FASTBLOW 2 operates following these steps:
- Hopper receives preforms,
- Elevator with cleated belt carries preforms to orientating cylinders,
- Preform unscrambler rollers bring them to top of infeed rail,
- Preforms slide down to the infeed block to be fed to the IR oven,
- The oven spindle carriages are conveying the preforms through several IR ovens to heat process the preforms,
- The transfer arm carries the hot preforms to the opened mold,
- Preform is stretched/blow in the mold cavity,
- HP is then applied to cavity to finish the cycle,
- Bottle Transfer arm deposit containers to customer outfeed conveying system.
