TMS 5001 7.2.1 TAKING THE MOULD OUT OF THE MACHINE 1. Remove the blast tubes from the bottom of the mould. 2. Remove the fixing bolts from the bottom of the mould and remove the bottom of the mould. 3. For maximum format moulds, fitthe safety fixing flanges on the machine. Then open the press to access the fastening screws.
Page 71
TMS 5001 4. Then access each half-mould and remove the fastening screws. 5. Safety flanges cannot be fitted for normal format moulds. First, you must open the press to loosen the fastening screws. All but two on the front should be loosened. Do the same for the other half.
TMS 5001 7. Bring the mould transporter base close. Centre and attach the wheels. Then pull the mould and fit it on the base. 8. To assemble the mould, proceed in the same manner but in reverse order. Observe the tightening torque of 250Nm for the M16 12.9 mould fastening screws and 60Nm for the M10 12.9.
Page 73
TMS 5001 Once the lift adjustment process is over, adjust the lead in conveyor rollers. Use the preforms of the new format or a gauge with the measure for the format intended. 1. Loosen the bolts marked in the picture, two on each end, and open or close the rollers DEPENDING on the format intended.
Page 74
TMS 5001 7.2.4 LEAD IN HOPPER ADJUSTMENT 1. Adjust the upper guides. To adjust the rollers, use a new preform format as a guide or a gauge set to the dimensions of the format you want to use. This is similar to adjusting the rollers. To begin, loosen the screws shown.
TMS 5001 4. Leave the roof at 3mm from the preform, placing the latter upon the wing of the next one, as shown in the picture. It is very important to observe the parallelism between the preform support rail and the roof.
TMS 5001 3. Then assemble the new nozzle format, performing the above procedure in reverse. We place the new nozzle in the preform holder, easing it from the top. Once inserted, we slide the ring to hold the neck of the nozzle that we had previously withdrawn.
Page 77
TMS 5001 1. First, adjust the protections of the preform neck to the new format. Loosen the screws shown in the picture both at oven entrance and exit. 2. Place a preform inside the nozzle on each end of the oven.
Page 78
TMS 5001 6. Then remove the lateral hold down nuts and remove the oven. 7. Place the oven upon a workbench and loosen the lateral fixing bolt of the bulb support. Do the same thing with the other bulb support.
Page 79
TMS 5001 10. In order to regulate it, access the rear fixing bolt, loosen it and move the bulb support vertically. 7.2.8 FEEDER ADJUSTMENT 1. Loosen screws and adjust front guides. 2. Regulate photocell and mirror to the desired height.
Page 80
It is possible that, depending on the type of preform, a distance of 3mm may not be suitable;therefore, this value should be treated as the default value when making the first adjustment. 4. Adjust side carriages to meet the 53 mm dimension. Then regulate the front stops so that the preform is aligned with the cylinders.
Page 81
TMS 5001 BLOWING ADJUSTMENT IN CASE OF ADJUSTMENT OPERATIONS: IT IS NECESSARY TO TURN OFF ONE OF THE TWO SECURITY KEYS (A OR B) TO SWITCH OFF THE MACHINE AND GET INTO IT SAFELY. IT IS A MANDATORY REQUIREMENT THAT THE OPERATOR TAKES WITH HIM ONE KEY (A OR B) TO GUARANTEE THAT THE MACHINE DOESN’T WORK.
Page 82
The removal of pre-blown containers will make it possible to assess the efficiency and texture of the pre-blowing process. When placed side by side, the pre-blown containers should have a similar shape and size. Important variations show differences between the blowing units which might include leaks, uneven hole restrictors or poorly adjusted flow valves.
Page 83
TMS 5001 - Pre-blowing as a process option Sometimes, containers may be processed without pre-blowing. This usually produces containers with less variations as far as material distribution is concerned and hence more consistent loads. This method is not recommended for preforms with a reduced interior diameter, since these preform take less time to touch the stretching rod and thus the material cools down faster, which makes stretching more difficult.
