Types of Bottle Blowing Molding Machines in Beverage Packaging Machinery Industry

1)Bottle Blow Molding Procedure:One-step and two-step bottle blowing molding machine

(1)One step method:Japan Nissei、Italy SIPA;

Advantages: From the PET resin to the bottle preform, the bottle preform does not need cooling, heating and can save energy.

Disadvantages: speed is not fast, high-speed bottle blowing is not good, Max: Nissei–10000BPH, SIPA–24000BPH.

AA value-the material particles in the acrylic acid acrylic, (PET bottle need to be released over a period of time)

(2) Two-step method: linear type blow molding machine, rotary type blowing machine

Linear type blow molding machine representative: Festa, Chumpower, etc

Rotary type blow molding machine representative:Festa,Tech-long,Sidel,Krones

Production capacity:Linear type—1500-2000BPH per cavity;rotary type—2000-2400BPH  Krones and Sidel

Blow valve group

Each mold cavity of the rotary blowing machine is a separate blowing valve group.

There is only one blowing valve group in the straight line machine.

 Single cavity production capacity of rotary blow machine: small mold base 750ml 2000-2400BPH, medium mold base 1500ml Mel 1700BPH, large mold base 2L—1500BPH.

The larger the mold base is, the lower the bottle blowing speed and efficiency is.

Function of first blowing and second blowing:

First blowingSeparate the bottle blank from the drawing rod, stretch longitudinally and horizontally at the same time, the bottom of the drawing rod touches the bottom mold, and the bottle is in the shape of a pear. Without first blowing, the bottle preform is glued to the drawing rod and cannot blow high-pressure air. On the operation screen, the blowing time and the stretching time of the drawing rod can be adjusted.

Second blowingThe bottle takes shape. The mold is connected with cooling water, and the bottle preform is formed from the softened state to the glassy state. The shape of the bottle billet is as follows: glassy state 0Murray 76 ℃, viscous flow state 76Murray 120 ℃, bottle blowing state 100-115 ℃, crystalline state more than 120 ℃.

How much temperature is the bottle deformed?

The glass transition point of PET is about 75 degrees Celsius, according to the material of PET granular material.

PET molecular particles have memory. When heated by memorability, they contract to the shape of the bottle blank.

The medium temperature filling temperature: 65 PET 72 degrees Celsius, making full use of the heat resistance of ordinary PET bottles, heat resistance, makes full use of the characteristics of PET transformation to glass state.

The theoretical filling temperature should be 95 ℃, and the ordinary PET bottle blank should be used for medium temperature filling.

Empty bottle removal device: Remove blown and unblown. Bottles that have been blown out of shape and under pressure will not be removed.

Factors affecting air consumption of bottle blowing molding dmachine: related to bottle shape.

For air compressors, some use 28 kg of high-pressure gas, while others use more than 35 kg high-pressure gas of 38 kg to blow into shape, because it is related to the design of the bottle.

Bottles with a lot of edges and corners will consume a lot of high-pressure gas.

The lower the compressed air used in the air compressor, the lower the power consumption and the more energy saving.

Our bottle blowing machine is equipped with 40kg high pressure air, which is decided according to the customer’s bottle.

The principle of blowing bottles

The main results are as follows: 1) through the blank supply system (bottle billet flip bucket machine), the bottle blank is poured into the blank machine, and the bottle blank enters the bottle blowing system along the guide rail.

Some of these customers will be equipped with UV sterilization unit to sterilize the bottle preform.

2) the ion dedusting unit is used to remove dust from the bottle blank, and then the bottle blank is connected to the heating head through the stainless steel plucking wheel and enters the heating furnace.

The heating furnace heats the bottle blank body and the bottom, and the bottle billet rotates while moving forward in the heating machine, so that the bottle blank wall is heated evenly, and the bottle mouth is cooled by cooling water at the same time.

3) before entering the bottle blowing, there will be a testing device at the bottom of the heating furnace to detect whether the bottle preform temperature is qualified or not, and the unqualified bottle preform will be eliminated by the bottle preform removal device.

4) the rotating mold cavity is opened to wait for the heated bottle preform to enter, and after entering the mold, the mold cavity is closed under the action of the cam.

Pull the rising rod down, stretch the bottle blank, then pre-blow with low pressure air (0.8Mpa-1.2Mpa), then carry out two blowing with high pressure gas (3.0Mpa-4.0Mpa), complete the blowing molding of the bottle, then exhaust and open the mold, and the blown bottle is carried out from the bottle clamp to the plucking wheel.

For blowing unqualified bottle preform, there is a removal device on the bottle-out manipulator, and the cylinder is used to push out the unqualified bottle.

Working principle and advantages of High pressure Gas recovery Unit

The recovery rate of high pressure gas is 30% for large bottles and 15% for small bottles. (1L is the dividing line).

Advantages: through the solenoid valve to the second blowing of high-pressure gas exhaust time to recover to the storage bucket for pre-blowing. The advantage is that it can save high-pressure gas consumption and reduce costs, but it is no longer necessary to buy a low-pressure machine, but this is not a good way to do so. The high pressure needs to be reduced to 7murmur8kg, which consumes a lot of electricity. When the spare low-pressure machine is not in production, it is necessary to use the low-pressure machine to make the machine run and overhauled when doing equipment maintenance. It is not economical to use a high-pressure machine.

Structure and advantages of reheating furnace

Protection of the mouth of the bottle.

1) 3D design joins the four-axis machining center CNC to ensure the accuracy and smoothness of the complex cam.

2) the bottle billet mouth is downward, which is beneficial to the full utilization of convective heat energy and the cooling protection of the bottle billet mouth.

Heating method of bottle preform:

Overturn type– Sidel.

Horizontal type-Krones, Festa.

Different heating methods lead to different energy consumption:

(1) horizontal type: when the preform is heated, because the mouth of the preform is on the top, the hot air rises, which requires a large number of fans to form a high-pressure wind, which will blow the hot air away the blow away, while the lower part needs to form a negative pressure negative pressure, to remove the hot air from the take out, to reduce the heating of the equipment.

In this way, the wind will increase and consume more electricity.

(2) flip type: the bottle billet mouth is under, the hot air is rising, cooling water is used in the channel (guide bar) to cool the bottle billet mouth, and the fan blower is used to cool the bottle billet seat, so there is no need for too many fans and less energy consumption.
