■ Efficient Energy UsageDue to increased scale of production and hybrid operation, energy cost per bottle has been reduced by 25%, and air consumption by 20%.Furthermore, unlike wasteful 2-step systems that need to fully cool and re-heat the preform, the 1.5-step process retains most of the heat from the injection molding process for final blowing of the bottle. The short heating oven is only necessary to partially re-heat and optimize the temperature profile of the preform. The result is less energy required for cooling and re-heating.

■ Resin to Bottle in a Small SpacePreform transfer to blowing takes place inside one machine. Only 25~30% of the production space is required.

■ 1.5-Steps Optimizes Mold UtilizationThe 1.5-Step PF molding process is based on the principle that it takes around three times longer to injection mold and cool a preform than it does to blow the bottle.With this in mind, the PF24-8B molds 24 preforms with up to 38mm neck, then optimizes their temperature before passing them to the 8 cavity blow station.

■ High OutputIn the 12-4 configuration 5 liter, 83 gram bottles can be molded at up to 2,400bph. In the 24-8 configuration, production rates up to 9,000bph can be achieved for a 500ml 9.8 gram water bottle.

■ Hybrid OperationThe injection unit and injection clamp utilize hydraulic operation supplied by energy efficient variable displacement pumps. All other functions, including transfer, stretch and blow mold clamping use servo motors to further reduce power consumption.

■ Changeable CavitationUnlike the smaller PF models, the PF24-8B is capable of being converted from its native 24-8 cavity molding setup for up to 1.5 liter bottles, to a 12-4 cavity setup allowing molding of up to 5 liter containers with 48mm neck diameter.

■ Perfect Quality & Improved EfficiencyWith no preform scuffing, neck damage or distortion, the product quality from a 1.5-step machine is perfect every time. And with no down-time from distorted preform necks causing stoppages at preform feed points, efficiency is improved.

■ PF24-8B/12HWith the addition of an automated handle inserter system, the PF24-8B/12H has been developed to enable production of up to 3 liter bottles with a PP or HDPE handle. The bottle leaves the machine with the handle already fixed so no further processing is required - an innovation first developed by ASB.

■ Typical Containers• Applications : Beverage, edible oil, salad dressing, seasoning, detergent, personal care, pharmaceutical, agrochemical etc.• Molding Materials : PET, recycled PET, PEN, PLA etc.• Shapes : Plain round, oval, square, ultra-light etc.

ASB’s innovative PF Series gains a new big brother which can go toe-to-toe with 2-step re-heat blow molding systems.

Molding finished containers directly from raw material in a superbly compact package, the PF24-8B lowers the cost of

PET bottle production both in energy terms and in factory space.

A True Competitor to Small Scale 2-Step Molding.

24 (8x3) or 12 (4x3) preforms are injection molded and partially cooled using ASB’s well proven vertical clamping system. Vertical clamping provides the highest level of preform concentricity and quality.

1 Injection Molding / Primary CoolingEight (or four) preforms at a time are separated from the continuous movement in preparation for inversion.

5 Continuous to Batch Movement

Preforms are transferred to the twin-station conditioning block where the cooling and conditioning process is continued. The conditioning block inverts and preforms are placed onto preform holders with neck down orientation.

2 Secondary Cooling / ConditioningEight (or four) preforms are picked up, inverted and transferred to the blow transfer system. In the case of the /12H model, handles are transferred together with preforms.

6 Preform Inverter

The preform holders, in an 8x3 (or 4x3) format are shifted to 24x1 (or 12x1) format so that preform movement changes from batch to continuous.

3 Batch to Continuous MovementAs the preforms move into the blow station, the pitch is changed and stretch blow molding takes place using servo driven blow clamping and stretch rods.

7 Pitch Change & Stretch Blow

Preforms are heated in a continuous movement using tuned quartz halogen heating lamps. Continuous heating ensures perfect temperature stability.

4 Continuous Temperature OptimizationBlown bottles are ejected via a neck conveyor onto the customer’s conveyor system. A range of conveyor options can be supplied if required.
