Shuttle Blow Molding Machine

RB 6000 Long Stroke Industrial Shuttle Machine

R&B Plastics Machinery brings over 30-years’ of blow molding machine-design and blow mold process-experience to the Long-Stroke and Industrial Shuttle market. We provide manufacturing solutions for a wide range of bottle applications, including short-run or high-volume production. Every system, every machine utilizes R&B’s hydraulic, electrical and mechanical expertise. New engineering developments have created production advantages for our machinery including PC/PLC motion control and controlled flash-removal systems.

RB 6000 Industrial Shuttle Advantages

• RB 6000 R&B designed for continual use and durability: All machines are engineered with heavy-duty steel frames to accommodate high-clamp tonnage, fixed calibration and specialty trimming.
• Operators’ ease-of-use considered: Simplistic operator screens and controls for easy start-up, production and diagnostics.
• Production speeds improve output: Latest advancements in shuttle-motion technology mean multiple movements can be cammed together yielding faster cycle times.
• Quicker Mold Changes keep production-lines running: Center machine mold-changeover systems complete with lock-in mold cart, clamp platen roller system, quick locking mechanism and fixed tooling allow for fast job changes.
• R&B Die Heads speed-up color changes, improve versatility: Spiral or standard sleeves offer extremely fast color changes and exact layering structures to improve product quality.
• Save time and money with reduced tool-change time: Fixed blow-pin system manifold assemblies allow for one-time set-up and consistent, accurate mold and tooling die set-ups, time after time. This fixed blow-pin system applies to R&B’s transfer/deflash removal system as well.
• Cleaner work areas with Scrap and Flash removal: R&B’s flash-removal system includes gripper assemblies to hold excess plastic (flash) and release into an open chute. All scrap is positively controlled and time released for all-grade scrap handling. (No mess!)
• Seamless, integrated line functions : Our fully integrated line-control system manages all machine functions as well as parison control. Designed with PLC or PC systems, you specify brands.
• Open-architecture control systems customized to your manufacturing functions: Using off-the-shelf, commercially available parts allows for greater flexibility. All engineering functions and R&B’s proprietary parison control included with these systems.
