When formats are changed regularly in production, being able to change the blow moulds and dies within the shortest possible time definitely pays off. The magnetic quick-change system available from Bekum allows formats to be changed in less than 15 minutes per clamping unit – without tools and without special mould carriages. An integrated roller table for removing moulds at the side means very little space is required. Blowpins can be replaced using a magnetic bar just as easily, and without any additional centring work. Changes of material and colour can also be completed quickly, while also saving material, using the spiral mandrel distributor technology. A BKW 250 blower head made by Bekum only requires 60 kg of material and 15 minutes of time for 98% purity.
Patented C-base frame – the centrepiece of the xBLOW series makes an impression with virtually 100% parallelism of the clamping plates
