Case Study: Parison Programming Control
February 23, 2009
Plastics blow-molding OEM uses Rockwell Automation Integrated Architecture™ to achieve parison control system serving customers in a variety of plastics industries, including consumer packaged goods, chemical, automotive and dairy, R & B Plastics Machinery is focused on providing customers with solutions for machine, mold, trimming and tooling systems. This original equipment manufacturer (OEM) focuses on continuous extrusion blow-molding and offers a wide selection of custom options that help its customers secure a competitive advantage.
R & B’s line of blow molding combines the advantages of wheel and shuttle blow-molding machinery, specifically high output rates, with the advantage of a calibrated water-cooled neck finish. These machines are designed to accommodate multiple parisons, multilayer coextrusion and in-mold labeling of containers from 12 ounces to 2.5 gallons. Additionally, the machinery has been designed for ultimate flexibility with quick changeover features, as well as programming designed to ease operator-level interaction.
The majority of R & B customers are plastic processors, so rising costs of natural materials are always a concern. End users continually stress the importance of managing exactly how much plastic is incorporated into every container. Addressing this concern, R & B specializes in parison control.
