The first machine in production line of beverage industrial plant is the Blowing machine.
Blowing machine is consisting of preform hopper, preform elevator,the oven and blowing part.
The function of Blowing machine is blowing the preforms to be bottles with a good shape to be filled with beverage.
Parts of Blowing machine:
-The preform hopper is the storage hopper of preforms
-The preform elevator function is raising the preforms to deliver it to the next part(The oven).
-The oven function is heating the preforms to increase the elasticity of them to make them easier to be blowing.
-The Blowing part is the part which blowing the heated preforms in shaped molds,Blowing part can be linear or rotary according to machine design.
The Blowing machine utilities:
Blowing machine can not working without utilities like pressured air (10 bar) for parts which need air for movement and pre-blowing of preforms.
It's also need 40 bar air for blowing bottles to make them formed to final shapes.
Blowing machine needs also an in-feed of cooling water for cooling parts of machine during operation, usually blowing machine has chiller which cooling water to feed it to Blowing machine.
When the bottles are ready after blowing process they delivered to air conveyor.
