Long-stroke unit handles more cavities. (Keeping Up With Blow Molding).SIG Blowtec GmbH in Troisdorf, Germany, has increased the productive capacity of its multi-cavity, long-stroke extrusion blow molder mold·er v. mold·ered, mold·er·ing, mold·ers v.intr.

(Glassworking) An intermediate stage or shape of a glass object which is produced in more than one stage. center distance of 3.94 in., allowing for 12 cavities when running 1-liter HDPE HDPE abbr. high-density polyethylene bottles. Stroke length has now been extended to 58.3 in., accommodating up to 14 cavities with the same center distance. That boosts output of 60-g, 1L HDPE industrial-chemical bottles to 3600/hr (cycle time is 14 sec). A special feature of the upgraded BlowPac 4 is servo-driven bottle demolding capability and integrated leak (programming) leak - With a qualifier, one of a class of resource-management bugs that occur when resources are not freed properly after operations on them are finished, so they effectively disappear (leak out). This leads to eventual exhaustion as new allocation requests come in. testing with a seven-head testing device. BlowPac equipment is sold here by SIG Plastics Technologies, North Branch, N.J.
