EVENT PREVIEW PETplanet Insider Vol. 25 No. 04/24 www.petpla.net 42 Expansion of Vision1 model range & live demonstrations Set to boost product quality Nissei ASB Machine Co., Ltd., a leading manufacturer of machines and moulds for injection stretch blow moulding of PET and other plastics, will demonstrate the live moulding of three ASB-Series moulding machines at NPE. A key highlight will be the global debut of ASB’s optional Vision1 control and monitoring system on all models. In addition, the PET moulding demonstrations will showcase the enhanced product quality and productivity made possible by ASB’s patented Zero Cooling technology. Moulding demonstrations Nissei ASB’s ASB-70DPW Vision1 one-step ISBM will be moulding a nonround 350ml HDPE container of 29.5 g in a double-row configuration, giving high output (1,550 bph). It is intended to make it a direct challenger in a sector of the market normally monopolised by traditional injection blow moulding. Additionally, the ASB-70DPW can simply and easily be adapted to mould PET, PP, COC, and a wide range of other resins including bioplastics that are beyond the capabilities of IBM systems. ASB-150DP Vision1 one-step ISBM machine The ASB-150DP 1-step injection stretch blow moulding machine is the largest capacity model in the ASB series, claimed to be perfectly matched for the North American market with robust sales since its launch. Although primarily designed for PET moulding, it is fully capable of moulding almost any thermoplastic resin into containers for both food and non-food-based applications. The live moulding demonstration of lightweight 475 ml PET cups (14.5g) with an output of 3,000bph is claimed to provide an easily recyclable, more cost effective and more resilient moulding solution over commonly used thermoforming or injection moulded cups of similar size and weight. Nissei ASB South Hall, Level 1 Booth S19049 Bottle Zone Example of free standing type Vision1 control panel Moulded product demonstrations by Nissei ASB (f.l.t.r.): 350ml (12oz) HDPE shampoo bottle, 475ml (16oz) PET cup, 900ml (30oz) PET jar Vision1 ASB’s Vision1 machine control & monitoring system is a proprietary software and hardware package fully compliant with the OPC UA global standard protocol for industrial network communication. Apart from control of the machine, the system can be networked into an existing factory management software package or set up with ASB’s standard “Vision1 for Factory” software solution included with every machine. Control of compatible upstream and downstream equipment can be integrated into the moulding machine’s control panel, while customisable real-time data can be accessed globally by the user’s management via any PC or mobile device. Additionally, remote off-site diagnosis can be conducted by technical staff or direct from ASB technical support. Zero cooling ASB’s patented Zero cooling technology leverages the second (conditioning) station of the four-station process to provide additional cooling or modification to moulded PET preforms, allowing the preform to be better optimised at the first (injection) station of the machine, resulting in good quality combined with high productivity. The North American ASB Technical Support Centre is of particular interest to ASB’s North American customers. Both the existing and planned support options in the Atlanta Technical Support Centre in the areas of sales, design, service, spare parts production, online parts ordering and on-site customer training will be presented in detail at the trade fair stand.
