BLOW MOLDING

Product Overview

IBM 80E integrates injection molding, blow molding and bottle take-off in a rotary production process. Bottle geometry, resin and mold configuration determine the final production setup.

Applications

Typical catalogue applications include pharmaceutical bottles, eye-drop containers, cosmetic packaging, food containers and wide-mouth jars. The examples below show application types; bottle dimensions and mold requirements must match the selected machine.

Injection Blow Molding Features

• Injection and blow molding are integrated in one machine, with rotary transfer through injection, blowing and bottle take-off stations.
• Accurately molded bottle necks and threads support a range of closure and sealing designs.
• Smooth parting lines and controlled bottle geometry support consistent surface appearance.
• Multi-cavity molds accommodate different bottle sizes; tooling is selected for the required bottle and output.
• Bottle weight, wall thickness and volume can be controlled through the preform and mold design.
• An accessible mold area supports tooling changes and production changeovers.
• The catalogue lists HDPE, LDPE, PE, PP, PS and EVA applications; select the resin and tooling for the intended container.

All-Electric Servo System

• All-electric servo motion provides coordinated control of injection, plasticizing, clamping and rotary transfer.
• Servo-driven rotation and bottle ejection support repeatable positioning and stable motion.
• Double beams, four tie bars and a toggle clamping structure provide a stable mold-locking arrangement.
• Precision screw drives control mold opening and closing with reduced mechanical impact.
• Digital melt-backpressure control allows repeatable process settings.
• Motion-control modules, digital encoders and pressure feedback coordinate the injection axis.
• The full-electric series emphasizes precision, cleanliness, energy efficiency and operating stability.

The catalogue cites an energy-saving reference of 70%. Compare energy use under the intended bottle, resin, mold and operating conditions.

Technical Specifications

Dry-cycle values describe unloaded machine movement. The production cycle depends on the container, resin, mold and process settings.

Mold Cavity Reference

Indicative catalogue examples only. Final cavity count depends on bottle design, material and mold configuration; confirm tooling for the intended container.
