Stretch blow moulder is
an energy saving option
Industrial washing
robot is a robust
automotive option
Fanuc UK has unveiled its latest
industrial robot developed
specifically for industrial washing
applications.
The robust and flexible
R-2000iC/210WE is capable of
withstanding high pressure loads
and forces, with a maximum
payload of 210kg. Its outer
coating and oil-equipped reducers
prevent corrosion from water,
detergent or mechanical stress,
and the robot is waterproof to
IP67 standard.
The robust nature of the robot
allows it to work, unmanned,
for long periods of time without
interruption. Operators can also
check the status of the robot
via the Teach Pendant, which
minimises the risk of unexpected
downtime or process errors.

The latest generation of
Kosme’s KSB R stretch
blow moulders is, says
the company an all-rounder
as these rotary machines are
able to produce containers
with round, oval, square or
rectangular shapes holding
0.1 to 3 litres, suitable for
both still water and carbonated
soft drinks products.
They are each available as
individual machines or blocksynchronised
with a filler and
a labeller.
The new models of KSB
rotary machines can be
delivered with four, six
or seven stations (KSB 4R
to KSB 7R) and include
many improved features.
For instance, even better
assemblies, scoring
particularly well in terms of
their very high station output
are included; a mould quickchange
system and an ultraflexible
electromagnetic
stretching system that
consumes no compressed air
have also been incorporated
in the blow moulding stations.
Indeed, compared with
The infrared linear oven in the new generation machine is energy efficient
their predecessors, these
machines have reduced their
compressed air consumption
by a total of 35%, thanks
primarily to the optimised
Air Wizard Plus compressedair
recovery system and the
further reduction in dead space
volume. This means that
compressed-air savings are
maximised in every cycle.
Meanwhile, the infrared
linear oven also scores highly
in terms of energy efficiency,
since the flexible heating
zone adjustment feature,
together with a small heating
compartment providing
individualised adjustment
options, ensure that the energy
consumption has been reduced
by up to 15%.
The blow moulders also
feature intuitive operator
control, their individual
components are easy to clean,
and are also quickly replaced,
if required.
