PACKAGING MACHINES 8-SERIES

New machine concept for canisters and packaging up to 12 liters

The modular, flexibly configurable 8-series blow molding machine series includes machine sizes 508, 608, 708, 808, 1008 and 1208, all of which are available as double-station machines. Sizes 508, 608 and 708 are also available in a single-station version. The heart of the clamping units of the new 8-series EBLOW is the mold clamping system developed and patented by Bekum. It is the guarantor of an outstanding striker plate parallelism. In addition to good clamping force distribution, it is important to Bekum that the clamping units guarantee a short clamping force build-up time in order to meet the process engineering requirements of all blowable plastics. 

Convincing properties of the new 8 series

• Award-winning, functional and ergonomic machine design• Generously dimensioned access and viewing area• Clamping forces from 150 to 500 kN• Dry cycle times 1.8 – 3.7 s• Patented C-frame of the clamping unit for high clamping platen parallelism and even clamping force distribution across the mold width• short clamping force build-up time < 100 ms• highly efficient electric drives• hose cutting with clipping, javelin or hot cutting• linear removal with article belt running on the rear
