With the Freedom™ Series PET
Blow Molding Machines, you make your
own bottles when you need them. Choose
from three models that produce 1500,
3000 or 4500 PET bottles per hour.
The innovative design of the Freedom
Series has eliminated the usual preform-to-bottle
inversion process, thereby eliminating
costly robotics and/or labor. The preform
unscrambler, hopper, elevator and sorter
are all standard. Options allow you
to produce oval and rectangular bottles,
as well as heat-resistant bottles for
hot filling.
How the Freedom Series Blow
Molders work:
1. Preforms are loaded into the hopper,
which holds up to 3000 preforms at a
time.
2. An elevator moves preforms up to
a gravity-based sorter, which aligns
preforms on a conveyor.
3. Preforms are then aligned and loaded
onto a chute, where they are gravity-fed
into the preform holders. Four preforms
simultaneously move through two parallel
heat tunnels, each with eight heat zones
and two quartz heating elements.
4. The preforms move through the heat
tunnels, where they are heated to the
optimal blowing temperature prior to
entering the molds. A sensor at the
end of the tunnels monitors the preform
temperature. If temperature has not
reached the minimum preset temperature
of approximately 194º F (90º
C), the preforms move through the molds
and are not blown.
5. From the heaters, preforms are loaded
into the custom-designed molds where
four bottles are blown at a time. A
pressurized liquid chiller keeps the
mold temperature in a controlled range
to ensure that consistently high quality
bottles are blown.
6. Bottles move out of the molds and
placed on a conveyor, which takes them
out of the blow molder and into receptacles,
where they are loaded into storage for
use, as needed, for filling.
