8-Series

New blow moulding machines concept up to 12 L


The modular 8-series extrusion blow moulding machines for flexible configuration include the machine sizes 508, 608, 708, 808, 1008 and 1208, all of which are available as double-station machines. The 508, 608 and 708 sizes are also available as single-station models. At the heart of the clamping units in the new EBLOW 8-series, is the mould clamping system developed and patented by Bekum. It guarantees outstanding closing platen parallelism, as well as uniform clamping force distribution. It is important to Bekum that the clamping units ensure a short clamping force build-up time in order to meet the process engineering requirements of all blow-moulded articles. 

Convincing features of the new 8 Series

• Award-winning, functional and ergonomic machine design
• Generously sized access and viewing area
• Clamping forces from 150 to 500 kN
• Dry cycle times 1.8 - 3.7 sec
• Patented C-frame of the clamping unit for high clamping platen parallelism and uniform clamping force distribution across the mould width
• Short clamping force build-up time < 100 ms
• Highly efficient electric drives
• Parison cutting with pre-pinch, spear cutting or hot trimming device
• Linear take-out system with rear article conveyor belts
• Mechanical quick mould clamping system

Machines

EBLOW 508D – Bekum uses energy-saving drives that feed their braking energy back into a DC link
EBLOW 808D - Bekum has automatic mould thickness adjustment as standard
EBLOW 1208D – New e-Twin-Toggle clamping drive with 500 kN and 1.280 mm carriage stroke

Features

Electric drives – low-maintenance, high-performance and energy-saving
Magnetic quick-change system for blow moulds – easy to change in less than 15 minutes per clamping unit
Multi-touch operating panel in widescreen format (16:9) with TwinCat 3 control technology

Our clamping unit

Patented C-base frame – the centrepiece of the xBLOW series makes an impression with virtually 100% parallelism of the clamping plates
