Blow molding.New tiebarless designs deliver more consistent products and ease mold swaps. A new reciprocating-screw model extrudes more melt at lower temperatures in order to make better bottles faster. Other extrusion blow units go small, simple, and inexpensive. New PET machines for narrow-neck bottles round out the K'98 news available at press time. Continuous and tiebarless Uniloy Milacron, Batavia, Ohio Batavia is a village in Clermont County, Ohio, United States. The population was 1,617 at the 2000 census. It is the county seat of Clermont CountyGR6. Geography Batavia is located at (39.077332, -84. , the result of Cincinnati Milacron's recent purchase of Johnson Controls' Plastics Machinery Div., will introduce its new B&W 8000DE continuous-extrusion machine capable of producing bottles or handleware up to 32 oz. The machine has a fully supported tiebarless clamp that delivers higher clamping force for a more consistent container. This dual-sided version supports up to 20 cavities with 80-mm center distances in molds measuring up to 850 x 420 mm. Features include auto part weighing, die-gap adjustment, in-mold labeling, and in-machine trimming. Jomar Corp., Pleasantville, N.J., will unveil a new double-station continuous-extrusion unit that will produce 5-liter jerry cans at the show. The new EBM EBM Evidence-Based Medicine EBM Electronic Body Music EBM ecosystem-based management EBM Evidence Based Medical (statistics) EBM Environmentally Benign Manufacturing EBM Expressed Breast Milk EBM Executive Board Meeting 6.0d comes with up to five heads for each station. A single head can make a 2.1-gal bottle, while a five-head unit with a 75-mm center distance makes 23-oz bottles. Its grooved, 90-mm extruder runs HDPE HDPE abbr. high-density polyethylene at up to 1540 lb/hr, and it can also handle LDPE LDPE abbr. low-density polyethylene , PP, PVC PVC: see polyvinyl chloride. PVC in full polyvinyl chloride Synthetic resin, an organic polymer made by treating vinyl chloride monomers with a peroxide. , PC, and PETG PETG Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol PETG Performance Evaluation Task Group . The tiebarless arrangement allows for easy mold changes. Small, simple, low-cost Bekum (U.S. office in Williamston, Mich.) will demonstrate its newest and smallest single-station blow molder mold·er v. mold·ered, mold·er·ing, mold·ers v.intr. To crumble to dust; disintegrate. v.tr. To cause to crumble. See Synonyms at decay. in its BM series. The BM-106, (also available double-sided) makes containers up to 4 liters. It has horizontal carriage movement and a closed-loop hydraulic axle for the mold carriage and the blow pin. Uniloy Milacron's new entry-level Semeraro Simplex 6.0 continuous-extrusion shuttle model is a two- or four-parison, single-sided machine that produces narrow-neck or wide-mouth bottles up to 32 oz. Developed through a partnership with a firm in South America South America, fourth largest continent (1991 est. pop. 299,150,000), c.6,880,000 sq mi (17,819,000 sq km), the southern of the two continents of the Western Hemisphere. , the unit is now offered worldwide. It has simple controls and low cavitation cavitation Formation of vapour bubbles within a liquid at low-pressure regions that occur in places where the liquid has been accelerated to high velocities, as in the operation of centrifugal pumps, water turbines, and marine propellers. . Italian machine builder Plastimac Maris (represented here by American Jet Stream, E. Brunswick, N.J.) will show a new economical extrusion blow machine, the PB5000CF. Special positioning of machine components such as the upper and lower blowing units permit the use of very tall molds to produce parts like toys. Plastimac's new PB4000/S, designed to make wide-mouth containers, has a triple head. It features horizontal movement of the mold carriages, which reportedly increases machine reliability while reducing friction, energy consumption, and maintenance. Reciprocating & injection blow units Uniloy Milacron will roll out the new Recip 2000 reciprocating-screw machine, which can run six cavities in 5.5-6 sec cycles. Its improved mold cooling and new screw design reportedly processes 10% more HDPE or PP per hour at 25 [degrees] F lower melt temperature. Also, the new clamp design boasts greater strength, stability, and balance. And the extrusion head is said to be better balanced so it can stay on the centerline cen·ter·line n. 1. A line that bisects something into equal parts. 2. A painted line running along the center of a road or highway that divides it into two sections for traffic moving in opposite directions, or, in the case of better than competitive units. This compact model occupies up to 30% less space. Uniloy Milacron will also introduce a new high-cavitation injection-blow molder for cosmetics, personal-care, medical, and pharmaceutical applications. It produces up to 2-liter bottles in two cavities using HDPE, PP, or PVC. The model IBS-129-3S is said to be the first of its type with a 105-ton clamp. Industrial-parts makers Uniloy Milacron will show its new UMA-75 accumulator-head machine, which produces up to 55-gal drums and has a redesigned 75-ton clamp. Its revamped accumulator-head design comes in 4.4 to 66 lb. Radial die programming allows for profiling in vertical and horizontal planes horizontal plane n. A plane crossing the body at right angles to the coronal and sagittal planes. Also called transverse plane. horizontal plane . Bekum will introduce its model BA 62, which can be used in continuous- or discontinuous-extrusion mode to make containers of up to 120 liters or technical parts. New units for PET bottles A number of major machine builders had not provided information on their show exhibits at press time. However, Aoki Technical Laboratory (U.S. office in Elk Grove Village Elk Grove Village, village (1990 pop. 33,429), Cook and Du Page counties, NE Ill., a suburb of Chicago; inc. 1956. With a population of c.100 at the time of its establishment on open farmland, the village has grown dramatically and steadily, largely because of its , Ill.) reports that it will demonstrate two new systems for narrow-neck PET bottles. The compact, four-cavity model SBIII-250HB-50 will produce 1.4-liter bottles for mineral water at 1500/hr. The six-cavity SBIII-250LL-25 is a small unit flexible enough to make an odd number of narrow-neck bottles for water, oil, or detergent. This unit will also produce 1.4-liter bottles at the show. |
