Upgrades

ZF010413 - Tunnel cooling panel

Machines: EBSK - EBS E - EBSHC

Benefits: Efficiency increase - Energy saving

This upgrade consists in the installation of a new boosted centrifugal fan together with a new air duct, depending on the number of installed panels.
It has been designed in order to ensure an efficient cooling process at high temperatures, thus preserving a uniform and constant preform heating profile. This results in benefits in terms of the cooling of the neck preform, a factor that plays a very important role within the production cycle. It helps, in fact, keep the temperature of the preform neck stable, since the tunnel temperature can be lowered even of 10° compared to standard fans.
Thanks to the new fan positioned in the lower part of the machine and to the new ventilation double duct, a solution suitable for an optimal and efficient circulation of the air at lower temperatures inside the panels is installed.
With this system, it is also possible to disable the preform cooling with the vortex system, thus reducing the air consumption.


Minimum requirements: 

Applicable to all blowers from the EBS range with cooling fans installed directly on the panels.

 

Benefits

  • Higher production efficiency
  • Better preform heating
  • Lowering of the tunnel temperature up to10°
  • Reduction of air consumption disabling the vortex blowing system
  • Elimination of errors in the transfer tunnel-mould
