PET Prefrom Injection Molding Machine
PET preform injection - blow molding machines are constantly evolving in modern manufacturing, and their innovative designs bring about more function expansions.
In terms of mold design, some new - type machines adopt a quick - mold - change system. This system, through special mechanical structures and positioning devices, can complete mold replacement in a short time. For example, the use of magnetic mold - fixing technology makes mold installation and removal easier and faster, significantly reducing equipment downtime and increasing production flexibility. This greatly improves production efficiency for enterprises that need to frequently switch between different product productions.
In heating technology, there are innovative applications of induction heating. The induction heating system can heat the screw and barrel more precisely, with heat concentrated on the parts that need to be heated, reducing heat dissipation and energy waste. Compared with traditional resistance heating, induction heating can make PET materials heat up faster and have a more uniform temperature distribution, which helps to improve product quality and production efficiency.
In the blow - molding stage, new air - cooling technologies have been introduced. Traditional cooling methods may have problems with uneven cooling, while the new air - cooling technology adopts special air - duct designs and airflow controls, enabling all - round and uniform cooling of the blown - molded products. This can not only shorten the cooling time and increase the production speed but also avoid quality problems such as product deformation caused by uneven cooling.
In addition, the degree of automation of the machines has been further improved. Some PET preform injection - blow molding machines are equipped with intelligent monitoring systems that can monitor the running status of various machine components, production parameters, and product quality in real - time. Through connection to cloud - based data, operators can remotely monitor the production process, obtain early - warning information for equipment failures in a timely manner, and can optimize and adjust the production process according to big - data analysis, achieving intelligent production management.
From the perspective of function expansion, some advanced machines also have multi - functional production capabilities. Besides conventional PET bottle production, by adjusting process parameters and molds, some PET products with special shapes or functions can also be produced, such as bottles with special textures or reinforced structures, or special - shaped PET containers for special packaging requirements, which provide more possibilities for product diversification.
