R&B Plastics Machinery has introduced a retool/refurbishment program for reciprocating screw blow molding machines. Our long history of designing and building plastic blow molding and metal cutting machinery has allowed R&B to offer a retool program with new innovations and a low cost structure.
The standard R&B retool/refurbishment program includes a new Allen Bradley Control Logix control system and Rexroth hydraulic system allowing parsion programming and hydraulic proportional control from one PLC and human machine interface screen . R&B's experience in specialty control and hydraulic systems allow us to max out the performance of every machine motion; yielding cycle time and motion improvements.
Additional upgrades include: high speed pneumatics, air cooled extrusion, ANSI compliance, takeout and trimmer upgrade, complete frame and clamp refurbishment/upgrade.
R&B is now offering a new takeout and trimmer assembly. Our new direct acting takeout positively controls the container from the clamp through the trimming unit; this new process eliminates the cooling bed and standard bucket trimmer. The R&B trimmer design shuttles bottles from the positive take out unit in the upright position through the trimming unit where all flash is removed. Bottles are exited from the trimmer standing up ready for packing or filling.
