AH series ST BlowMoulding’s new dual-head extrusion blow molding (EBM) machines have separate extruders for each head, so processors can use different materials or colors at once, or even produce two different items simultaneously. The adiabatic extruders are designed to retain heat and prevent overheating of the melt. The EBM machines’ new energy-efficient hybrid clamping unit uses hydraulics only for the final locking stage, and is easier and safer to change.
What’s new? The AH series, which was introduced to the U.S. market at NPE.
Benefits Versatility and energy savings, as well as customization; each machine is tailored to the customer’s specifications.
