Blank Cooling

Overview

Parison moulds, also called blanks, are cooled by moving air or wind through the mould to improve productivity. The cooling base goes near to the top plate of the machine, where the wind travels through and connects to the plenum. The plenum, a seperate piece that bolts to the top of the manifold, transfers the wind into the blank. The damper is what actually lets the wind up out of the section box into the wind mechanisim.

Ring and blank cooling are timed separatetly, it can be used with tube wind or axial cooling or stack wind and plenums for double and triple gob plenums are available.
