It’s not on view, but Graham Engineering is talking up a new high-output drum machine that uses shell-mold cooling for an estimated 15-20% shorter cycle time. The S40 6060 Drum Machine also boasts a proprietary head design that’s said to permit one-hour color changes.
This machine has a 40-lb accumulator head, a 150-mm extruder capable of 2200 lb/hr, 60 × 60 in. roll-out press, and adjustable extruder platform to move the head up and down to enable a mold shim change while in the machine. This enables the bottom blow assembly to remain fixed. Also provided is a PWDS wall-thickness distribution system.
