**EPC-8 (8800–9600 B/H) Automatic PET Bottle Blow Molding Machine**
**Product Description**
**A. Brief Introduction**
The EPC-8 is a highly stable, two-step fully automatic high-speed rotary PET stretch-blowing machine designed for efficient production of bottles ranging from 0.25L to 2L. It is ideal for manufacturing various types of plastic bottles used in carbonated drinks, mineral water, milk, beer, oil, hot-filled tea, and other beverage packaging applications. The machine uses crystalline plastics such as PET and PP, ensuring high-quality and durable products.
EPC-series machines are equipped with advanced heating and blowing technology, offering high productivity at a competitive cost. This makes it an excellent choice for manufacturers looking for reliable and efficient solutions in the bottle molding industry.
**B. Machine Construction**
**B.1. Preform Feeding and Loading Unit**
This unit is designed to prevent preforms from getting stuck in the unscrambler. The star wheel system allows for quick changeovers between different preform sizes, improving overall efficiency and reducing downtime.
**B.2. Linear Oven**
The oven features a 180-degree rotating mandrel that ensures even heating of the neck section. A unique ventilation system allows the YCQ series to handle challenging applications with ease.
- **Energy Saving**: The heater uses a short-section link (43.8mm), which heats more preforms in the same space, saving up to 25% electricity.
- **Water Cooling Plate**: Prevents deformation of the bottle neck during heating.
- **Infrared Heat Lamps**: Each lamp is individually adjustable, allowing for precise control over the heating process.
**B.3. Preform and Bottle Transfer Wheel**
The ECOPURA machine uses a classic double cam telescopic gripper system, ensuring smooth movement and easy maintenance.
**B.4. Molds and Mold Carriers**
The mold carrier features a shell-type design, reducing changeover time for different molds. It supports all standard shell-type molds, saving both time and costs for producers. The quick locking system ensures reliable performance.
**B.5. Blowing Station**
The blowing station includes a customizable cam for the stretching curve guide, ensuring consistent quality across different bottle sizes. Monobloc blowing valves provide fast and uniform blowing, while a special sealing unit protects the bottle neck during the process.
**Key Features**
- Can be directly connected to filling machines, eliminating the need for additional ordering-bottle machines.
- Equipped with a high-tech Micro PLC controller for stable and accurate operation.
- Energy-efficient heating system saves up to 50% power compared to traditional machines.
- Special mold locking system increases efficiency by 1.5 times.
- Easy installation and start-up.
- Low rejection rate: less than 0.3%.
