51 TRADE SHOW REVIEW PETplanet Insider Vol. 22 No. 03/21 www.petpla.net Environmentally responsible dry ice cleaning solution For injection or blow moulders, moulds are a mission-critical asset and require timely, proper, fast, and efficient cleaning to ensure uptime and part quality. When the moulds are not cleaned properly and on a regular basis it may cause blemish and unwanted flash on the final product, filling problems which lead to quality problems and longer production cycle times. In addition, solvents and other waste-generating cleaning pro- cesses are bad for the environment and are not acceptable for the health of PET moulders. During Chinaplas, Cold Jet will present dry ice cleaning solutions. The company’s dry ice cleaning technology allows moulds, lock rings, cores, and gate inserts to be cleaned without the disassembly of the stripper plate and while the mould is still in the press. The system also cleans blow moulding machines, palletising equipment, conveyor belts, and glue machines. Cold Jet’s dry ice cleaning technology is claimed to provide an easy solution that saves time and improves processes. Resulting in a 3-5% increase in productivity and investment returned in just a couple of months, states the company. Addi- tionally, with dry ice blasting equipment, PET moulders avoid the usage of chemicals. During the trade show, Cold Jet will present dry ice blasting machines life and explain the impor- tance of daily using dry ice technology in the PET moulders production facilities. www.coldjet.com Newamstar will exhibit the 6 th + generation rotary blower Up to 2,750bph single cavity capacity: The 6 th + bottle blow- ing technology can blow bottles ranging from 0.25 to 2.0 l. It applies the rigidity design at the support structure, light weight design for rotating parts and local optimisation design for the components movement law which enables the wholes machine to run at high speed steadily with lower vibration and noise. With the precise process control and stable operation, the single cavity capacity of the blower is up to 2,750 bph. Modular design: The equipment applies a modular design, and each system is designed as a separate modular unit, which can be combined in various ways to meet the fast delivery requirements of the project. The advanced heating transmis- sion structure guarantees even preform heating and ensures the stable and efficient preform transmission. The quick-change design of the changeover parts meets the requirements for quick switching between different bottle necks. Mould frame combined linkage mechanism: The bottle blowing system applies the tandem type of combined linkage mechanism coordinating the movement of mould frame and bottom mould. It can precisely control the opening and closing movement of the mould frame and the lifting movement of the bottom mould which can reduce the vibration and impact of the mechanism, slowing the wear of parts, enhancing the smooth- ness and reliability of the blowing system, and it improves the high-speed performance of the whole machine. Stretching servo flexible control: Servo stretching system can precisely control the stretching speed and distance, easily adjust the blowing process, and adjust online while blowing the bottles. The stretching and sealing linkage device realises the linkage between preform sealing and stretching. The contact between them is soft and controllable, while ensuring move- ment accuracy and stability. Integrated high-pressure valve group brings low energy con- sumption: The modular air source processing unit is placed at the back of the equipment for easy maintenance. The integrated high-pressure valve group has little dead space and achieves low HP air consumption. The six-step blowing process, with the intermediate pressure section, greatly saves air consumption, and the recovery rate is up to 35-40%. Active bottle gripper transfer: The active gripper is used to transfer the preform and the blown-shaped container to precisely control the opening and closing of the gripper. Powerful digital production control: Multiple inspection points are set up on the production line to monitor equipment abnormali- ties and malfunctions in real time in the Newamstar Smart Factory solution. All production lines apply ethernet technology to collect, store, and transmit data to the intelligent factory management and control platform. Analyse and process the data by Newamstar’s latest LMS system, presenting users with clear and accurate production dynamics and creating big data management. At the same time, there are online reminders for equipment cleaning, maintenance, and lubrication to keep the equipment running in the best condition. www.en.newamstar.com NEWAMSTAR Hall 4 Booth A41 COLD JET Hall 11 Booth K21
