Italy’s is introducing to the U.S. market the latest addition to its all-electric shuttle blow molder line, the 15-metric-ton PB15ED. The double-sided machine is producing 500-ml HDPE oval cosmetic bottles in a 4+4 cavity setup. The machine is equipped with a quad parison head at 4 × 1,000-mm center distance; a 90-mm, 28D extruder with a barrier screw; and a servo-driven parison cutter. This new model is available with stroke from 480 to 800 mm.
Automated bottle takeout units have servo drive on two axes (YE and ZE). Bottles are picked up in the deflashing station and deposited on the merge conveyor, which brings them to the left side of the machine for further downstream operations. Plastiblow machines are distributed in North America by Globeius, which is exhibiting separately at the show.
