Kautex's long stroke machine
During the NPE trade show this June in Chicago, extrusion blowmolding machine maker Kautex (Bonn, Germany) says it plans to offer interested visitors the opportunity to visit a local medical supplier that has harnessed a conventional Kautex shuttle line, Model KCC20D, into a “lights out” production cell. Resin is fed in one end and 100% leak tested, weighed, and capped hospital urinal containers are discharged on the other end, already boxed and palletized. At NPE the company will also talk about its work designing and now building what it claims is the largest long stroke machine of its type, a Model KLS14-100D. This dual-station machine will be used to process 16 three-layer containers at 85mm center distance in each station. Processors can change molds easily, reports Kautex.The company also is at a major trade show—Chinaplas—in May. At that exhibition in Guangzhou, Kautex will unveil the KCC 10 D extrusion blowmolding machine, an updated version of the firm’s established machine, with this new version said to be optimized for blowmolding of transparent polypropylene (PP) packaging.
Designed as a double-station machine, the KCC 10 D can run up to 14 (2x7 cavities) 50ml bottles or two (2x1 cavity) 5L cans per cycle. The machine also is suitable for processing other polyolefins and can process mono- or multi-layer bottles. —[email protected]
