Blowing Machine Challenges 251120

The document summarizes several installation challenges at a bottle blowing facility. It describes issues such as preforms wobbling during heating and breaking heating elements, a faulty servo motor causing frequent stopping of the blowing machine and damaging preforms, and uneven heating leading to an unequal distribution of preform mass and bottle leakage. It provides actions taken to address each issue, such as fabricating new spindles, replacing broken heating elements, ordering a spare servo motor, and adjusting heating elements for more uniform heating. Production output is also reported as 3925 cases or 47,100 liters of sunflower oil produced between given dates while addressing the stated issues.

Installation Challenges

Smaller spindle diameter for 2 L

Issue: Wobbling preform during heating at high speed leads to breaking of heating elements.

Action: Fabricate new spindles for 2L bottles as well as replace all broken heating elements.
Frequent stopping of the blowing machine

Issue: Frequent stoppage of blowing machine leading to damage of preforms as well as machine efficiency.

Preform before heating Overheating preform due to stoppage

Action: Faulty servo motor for the stretched rod during blowing. EMEC lead engineer has placed an order for a
spare servo motor. QPGH to calculate the total preform damaged during the trouble shooting process.
Unequal distribution of preform mass

Issue: Extremely hard bottle shoulder and soft base of the bottle leading to leakage. This is due to
unequal distribution of preform mass during blowing

Even distribution of preform Uneven distribution of preform

Action: Adjust the heating element for uniform heating of the preform. Adjustment in-progress, QPGH
team is currently monitoring
Stretched preform without blowing

Issue: The preforms stretch but does not blow into bottle leading to the damage of preforms due to
sensor communication.

Stretched preform without blowing Fully blown preform

Action: EMEC team had adjusted the sensor for better communication
Installation cost to EMEC
Filler adjustments

• For accurate volume of oil in the bottle, the filler bowl was adjusted upwards
with Teflon disc, this will be changed to a well fabricated stainless steel disc by
Kelvin (EMEC team lead).

• The cap level sensor has been modified to detect the minimum and maximum
level to avoid frequent burning of unscrambler motor.

running between 2000BPH and
3000BPH

The low efficiency was due the issues
