A. Extreme material utilization, reducing raw material cost loss
No runner/hot runner design, reducing waste generation: The
"casting system" (such as main runner and branch runner) of
traditional injection blow molding machines will produce 3%-5% of
waste (need to be recycled and crushed for secondary use), while
modern injection blow molding machines use "hot runner + no runner
mold"-
The hot runner system is heated at a constant temperature (the
temperature is consistent with the barrel, the deviation is ≤±2℃),
so that the raw materials in the runner are always kept in a molten
state and directly enter the cavity for molding, and the runner
waste is reduced to less than 0.5% (only a small amount of gate
remains);
For small-volume products (such as 10ml medicinal bottles), "no
gate molding" can even be achieved, and the raw material
utilization rate is increased from 95% to more than 99%. Based on
an average daily production of 100,000 products and a raw material
unit price of 20,000 yuan/ton, the raw material cost can be saved
by about 800-1000 yuan per day.
Precise metering and low-material alarm to avoid overfilling: The
screw metering adopts "servo motor + electronic ruler closed-loop
control", with a metering accuracy of ±0.1g (traditional equipment
is ±0.3g), which can accurately control the injection volume
according to the weight of the product (such as a 20g cosmetic
bottle), avoiding the waste of raw materials caused by
"over-injection" or the waste of materials caused by
"low-injection"; at the same time, the hopper is equipped with a
"material level sensor". When the remaining raw material is less
than 1 hour's consumption, it will automatically sound and light
alarms and prompt on the operation screen to avoid empty injection
due to lack of material (empty injection may wear the screw and
barrel).
B. Flexible production design, fast response to multiple
specifications
Quick mold change and parameter memory, shortening production
change time: For scenarios where product specifications need to be
changed frequently (such as changing from 50ml bottles to 100ml
bottles), the injection blow molding machine has a "one-button mold
change" function -
The mold positioning adopts "precision guide column + magnetic
suction auxiliary fixation", and there is no need for repeated
calibration when changing molds. The mold change time is shortened
from the traditional 30-60 minutes to 10-15 minutes;
The equipment has a built-in "parameter memory library" (which can
store more than 100 groups of product parameters). After changing
the mold, you only need to call the corresponding parameter group
(such as "100mlPET bottle" parameters), and the system
automatically matches 20+ parameters such as injection pressure and
blow molding time, and the number of mold trials is reduced from
5-8 times to 1-2 times (reducing mold trial waste by 70%).
Adjustable number of cavities, suitable for small batch production:
Some injection blow molding machines support "flexible switching of
mold cavity number". For example, the same equipment can be
installed with "2-cavity, 4-cavity, 6-cavity" molds (adapted by
adjusting the clamping force and injection volume). When the order
volume drops from 100,000 pieces/day to 20,000 pieces/day, it can
be replaced with a 2-cavity mold (avoiding the energy waste caused
by the "overcapacity" of the 4-cavity mold), and the energy
consumption of a single mold is reduced by 30% (from 4.5kW・h/mold
to 3.2kW・h/mold).
C. Convenient after-sales and maintenance, reducing equipment
management costs
Remote diagnosis and fault warning, reducing downtime: The device
has a built-in "Internet of Things module" that can upload
operating data (such as motor current, hydraulic oil temperature,
mold pressure) to the cloud platform in real time -
When it detects "hydraulic oil contamination exceeds NAS level 8"
(normal should be ≤NAS level 7) or "motor bearing temperature
exceeds 65℃" (normal ≤55℃), the system pushes warning information
through the mobile phone APP (4-8 hours in advance), and
maintenance personnel can prepare spare parts (such as filter
elements, bearings) in advance to avoid sudden failures
(traditional troubleshooting after the failure occurs, which may
cause downtime of 4-8 hours);
Complex faults (such as abnormal molding size) can be retrieved
through remote control parameter curves (such as injection
pressure-time curves), and engineers can remotely guide debugging
(the solution rate is more than 80%), without waiting for on-site
maintenance (saving travel expenses and time costs).
Standardization and easy replacement of wearing parts lowers the
maintenance threshold: core wearing parts (such as check rings,
sealing rings, sensors) use "standardized interfaces" (such as ISO
standard sizes), without relying on original exclusive accessories
(universal parts can be purchased on the market, reducing costs by
20%-30%); at the same time, the replacement structure design is
"humanized" - for example, the screw can be disassembled without
disassembling the barrel as a whole, and it can be achieved through
the "quick disassembly flange", and the replacement time is
shortened from the traditional 2-3 hours to less than 1 hour
(ordinary maintenance personnel can operate it, without the need
for professional technicians).
