When moulds are to be changed horizontally,
clamps are positioned horizontally between
the tie bars. The platens are equipped with rollers
that allow the mould to roll into the press from a
mould changing cart or table.
Pre-rollers are used to support the mould between the safety
gate and the edge of the platen. Mould stops accurately
position standardized moulds in the machine. Centering
cylinders position the mould when back plate length is not
standardized. All systems include mould guides on the
stationary platen and safety bars on the moveable platen.
This prevents the mould from falling if the clamps are
inadvertently retracted. These solutions require standardized
mould back plates
� horizontal loading with powered rollers.
A powered roller system is an alternative
method for transferring the mould from
the change cart or table into the machine.
It replaces a telescopic push/pull device.
The mould change cart or table and the stationary platen
are equipped with powered rollers while the moveable
platen has non-powered rollers. The powered rollers allow
the mould to be changed more quickly than telescopic
push/pull devices. They also allow easy change for
machines that are on either side of the cart or table.
