The KSB L series The KSB 2XL and KSB 4L are KOSME’s next-generation linear stretch blowmoulders. KOSME has an impressive track record in the production of many different container and bottle types, and this expertise has been channelled into the design of the linear PET blow-moulders. Each and every detail enhances the reliability, ease of use and flexibility of these machines which offer an optimal priceperformance ratio as a “standard feature”. The KSB 2XL produces containers in the 0.5 – 12.0 litre range. The KSB 4L is designed for container sizes between 0.1 and 3.0 litres. The machines...

Preform infeed Blow-moulding station Large range of containers KOSME Stretch Blow Moulding | The KSB L series

Outstanding features Top-quality bottles Energy efficient Precision bottle production Quick semiautomatic mould change Air recycling User-friendly operation KOSME Stretch Blow Moulding | The KSB L series | Outstanding features

The KSB L produces top-quality PET bottles and keeps energy and air consumption to a minimum. The modular oven is one of the energy-saving features. The cooling subsystem and preform settings on the oven meet standards which are second to none. The optional air recycling system further enhances energy efficiency. The air for the entire low-pressure supply on the KSB L series is recovered from the high-pressure air system. The complete pneumatic system and the pre-blowing step during the preform stretching operation run on recycled high-pressure air. Transfer via infeed starwheel With air...

Base mould and preform mould for large containers Bottle discharge from the blow-moulding station KOSME Stretch Blow Moulding | The KSB L series | Method of operation

Preform feed Blow-moulding operation An elevator belt moves the preforms from the hopper to the roller orienter where the preforms are vertically suspended and transferred to the infeed ramp. Grippers insert the preforms into the open moulds. Linear servo drives close the moulds which are then mechanically locked. Heating process Depending on the type of preform, the preform is sealed at the neck ring or neck finish. The infeed starwheel transfers the preforms to the preform belt conveyor. The preforms rotate continuously as they pass through the heating system. An infrared camera at the...

KSB 4L PH Top-class oval containers Built-in preferential heating module Production of reduced-weight containers with a distinctly oval shape The use of lower-weight preform grades cuts cost Highly individualized oval container shapes KOSME Stretch Blow Moulding | The KSB L series | KSB 4L PH Top-class oval containers

The grippers: can be replaced in no time Preferential heating module On the KSB 4L PH, a special heating module is installed after the standard heaters. The preforms move through this zone without rotating, and the two opposite sides of the preforms are intentionally exposed to additional heat. Using this temperature profile, reducedweight containers with a distinctly oval shape can be produced, because the moulding characteristics of the material are optimal during the blow-moulding process. The heaters: top performance from a small package KOSME Stretch Blow Moulding | The KSB L series |...
