The type of produced containers depends on the applied blow mould. Typically, a semi-automatic PM201 manufactures bottles (jars) ranging from 0,25l up to 10l. 1- or 2-cavity forms can be used. Relating to the measurements of form closing system the following forms can be used:

• 2-cavity moulds: from 0,25l up to 5l (5l – oval or square)
  
• 1-cavity moulds: over 5l up to 10l.
  
  

Technical data

Technical data for PM201 – making 5 heating zones:

Nominal output:

• for 1-cavity moulds, 5l bottle 450 bottles ph
  
• for 2-cavity moulds, 2l bottle 850 bph
  
• for 2-cavity moulds, 5l bottle 750 bph
  
  

electric power supply:

• nominal voltage: 50/60Hz 3x220V
  
• nominal power: 10,1kW (2kW for each heating zone)
  
• effective power (2-cavity 5l –800 bph) 5,5kW
  
  

compressed air power supply:

• max. pressure: 1,6 MPa
  
• air consumption (depending on the type of container and the number of cycles)
  

e.g. 2 cavities 5l and 400 cycles ph (800 bottles) ---- 80 Nm3 ph
1 cavity 7l and 450 cycles ph (450 bottles) ---- 70 Nm3 ph

Cooling:
Preform heating tunnel

• coolant: water
  
• flow: 2l per min (120l ph)
  
  

Mould (depending on the number of cycles ph and the type of preforms)

• coolant: water
  
• flow: average 4l per min (240l ph)
  

The cooling systems of the mould and the tunnel can be arranged in series, thus total water demand is 4l per min
