Cooling and static removal
27 March 2017
To cater for multi impression closure moulding where typically 120 caps can be moulded on a 10 second cycle it is imperative to cool them down to avoid deflection in the collection bin. Another advantage in quickly removing heat from the product is to further reduce the cycle time. UPM Conveyors has developed a range of conveyors incorporating high air flow fans mounted over a water cooled heat exchanger.
Cold air is blown onto the closures to typically reduce the temperature from 70 to 20°C and, as standard, variable speed control is available to regulate the time product remains under the air flow.
Also UPM have fitted air ionisers at the discharge area to remove static. One major closure manufacturer has seen a production increase of 38% with a payback time of only three months.
