SACMI: plastic containers - CBF

CBF001

 

The CBF machine (Compression Blow Forming) is based on a unique, innovative thermoplastic material conversion process that allows producers to obtain a container directly from the granulated material. 

The conversion process is based on the continuous extrusion of the plastic material, which is then cut into doses (or 'gobs') of a predetrmined size. 

The gobs are then placed in an open mould and moulded into a preform via a compression process. Inside this mould, the preform is thermo-regulated to a temperature that allows stetch-blow moulding to form a container. The containers exit the machine in line in a continuous orderly manner.
