Operation
Process
| 1. |
Preforms
are conveyed from the storage hopper to the automatic
unscrambler, where they are orient and fed to the heating
zone through a gravity feed rail. |
| 2. |
Individually
controlled infrared lamps, positioned along the perform
path provide longitudinal differential heating and uniform
heat penetration, optimizing the temperature throughout
the perform. |
| 3. |
The
system checks the perform temperature by using sensors.
Each perform temperature is compared to the preset temperature
data. If temperature changes are needed, the system can
automatically change the infrared lamp settings. |
| 4. |
Special
grippers pick up the heated performs |
| 5. |
and
position them in the stretch blowing stations. |
| 6. |
In
the stretch blowing stations, performs undergo two stages:first
stretching and preblowing, then blowing by compressed
air. At this point, performs are transformed into bottles. |
| 7. |
Grippers
transfer the blown bottles to the filling station or storage
silo (8). |
