Wilmington Machinery, a manufacturer of high speed rotary coextrusion blow moulding systems and structural foam injectionmoulding machinery, is breaking the world speed record in rotary extrusion blow moulding bottle production. Innovative new dual parison technology is enabling remarkable production rates from 800 bottles per minute to 1200 bottles per minute, believed to be one of the fasted commercially available. The company has shipped its first dual parison Small Bottle (SB) rotary extrusion blow moulding line producing 80 ml HDPE bottles at a rate of 800 per minute, operating at the very fast cycle time of 10 RPM (6 seconds). The MSB40 Dual Parison machine has 40 stations, 4" extruder and Wilmington's uniquely designed high-output dual parison diehead. The turnkey system includes moulds, bottle conveying and high-speed rotary spin trimmer. It produces weight variation of less than +/- 0.05 grams, yielding excellent material distribution. Coming up next is model MSB60 DP which can produce 80 ml lightweight type bottles at a speed of 1200 bottles per minute. www.wilmingtonmachinery.comAir Max
