Processors looking for light weight HDPE bottle for milk and yogurt drink products, or multilayer containers for barrier, or hot fill applications will find some blow molding systems extremely suited for their needs, especially for those looking for ECONOMICAL blow molding options. For example many processors have found rotary blow molding system best or these applications compared to shuttles or reciprocating screw machines.
The reason ---rotary systems are now the simplest to use and provides processors with the means to produce the absolute lowest cost bottle at the highest quality level.
The rotary machines' simplicity comes from the fact they are now all mechanical
and uses no complex expensive hydraulics. Not only are the machines simple, they are extremely energy efficient and can save you as much as $100,000 per year in electric.
Another factor adding to the simplicity, a single parison technology. To visualize this, if a company had to mold the same number of bottles on shuttle or reciprocating machine, they would have as many as 20- 80 parisons in order to be perfectly balance to assure all of the bottles are identical. Frankly, this is impossible and the bottle weight and material distribution vary, whereas this problem is totally eliminated with single parison technology.
Single parison Rotary technology saves money by giving companies the lowest cost per bottle and here is why:
The largest savings is in reduced material cost. With the single parison technology, the material distribution and weight variation is superior. Some customers have been able to reduce the target weight by as much as 10-15%.
The second largest factor is the energy savings which could be as much as $100,000 per year
You also save in floor space. A single rotary system can replace 3-4 older molders and requires less floor space.
Another significant fact is in labor savings. Our system requires a single operator often resulting in a labor saving of 60-70%.
And the final factors are savings in overall plant operating efficiency and in preventive maintenance. With our single high speed system, plant operating efficiency can improve 3-5% and you will save hundreds of hours per year in downtime from preventive maintenance.
For any processor who needs to make millions of bottles for packaging per month or week should explore
Rotary Blow Molded systems.
