The Work mate for the BM 600 Preheater
Quality Components and Heavy Duty Construction >
(1) Stainless Steel Components. The same solid construction used in the Pre Heater skin and frame have been incorporated into the Blow Molder. Stainless steel frames and exterior panels on the Blow Molder mean longer life and better operation.
(2) The Operating Software allows visual inspection of the LED Readout Display to monitor specific parameters.
This provides managers the capability to monitor such items as production volumes, mold closing, seal closing and extension rod times to name just a few.
(3) The U.S. made Pneumatic Manifold is extremely reliable and is rated for much higher pressures than are normally required. The BM 600 Blow Molder system can withstand pressures beyond the normal operating range.
(4) The Castings are made of high tensile strength aluminum-alloy to reduce the overall weight of the system, while increasing system strength and durability. This translates into longer component life, and less downtime. The aluminum castings eliminate any rusting problems as with other metal products.
The High Quality Chrome Plating of the Mold Closing Rods is another important advantage of the BM600 Series Blow Molding Systems. Rust is a major contributor to the frustration of blowing inconsistent bottles. These chrome plated rods resist rust and allow for years of reliable service.
(5) The Electronics are the heart of a properly functioning system. To ensure proper operation, the BM600 is microprocessor controlled and the settings are interfaced through a user friendly "soft-touch" pad. All major electronic components for the BM600 Series are made in the U.S. and are of only the highest quality available.
The High Efficiency Universal Power Supply allows for electrical line voltage surges, spikes and transients. Without the use of this power supply, the circuit board is likely to be destroyed when a power surge occurs. This would require unscheduled downtime, additional costs and ultimate PCB replacement.
(6) High-impact Frelon Sleeves are used in the castings instead of regular (dry) or oil-impregnated sleeves. These sleeves are extremely durable and are self cleaning as well as self-aligning. They also provide smoother movement of the mold closing ram that results in reduced cycle times and improved production rates.
One of the most important factors about these high impact sleeves is the reduced wear on the Mold Closing Rods. Dry or even oil-impregnated sleeves will eventually wear down the diameter of the Rods. This causes a situation where the Mold Closing Platen (mold holding plate) binds, or becomes sloppy and results in unusable bottles and wasted preforms, labor and other resources.
(7) The High Pressure Air Cylinders utilized on the BM600 are U.S. made and are world renown for their long life and durability. The cylinders are sized to operate well below their required pressure rating. These high quality cylinders and seals ensure years of reliable operation.
(8) Dual Optical Sensors are used as a safety feature for the machine. The sensors monitor the area between the two halves of the mold. If an operator's hands or fingers move in towards the mold when closing, the sensors are designed to abort the close function.
The optical sensors are hermetically sealed providing a significant increase in reliability and are very easy to align. Other guards and safety measures have also been incorporated into the equipment
