Abstract
A crystallization machine for a mouth on a bottle blank provides different heat sources to heat up the mouth of the bottle blank. The crystallization machine also provides an automatically controlled system to precisely control the dimension of the crystallized mouth of the bottle blank. Hence, the crystallization machine can be performed to increase the productivity, save energy, reduce the production cost, and enhance the competitiveness for the maker.
Claims18
A crystallization machine for a mouth on a bottle blank, comprising:
- a conveying mechanism, providing two parallel cycling conveyers, being located at a middle part thereof, carrying a plurality of loaders, and each of the loaders providing a post with a fitting part for fitting with the mouth of the bottle blank;
- an input zone, being located at a lateral side or two opposite sides of the crystallization machine at a lower part thereof, further comprising a feed element, a shift device connecting with the feed element, and a positioning slide rail being joined to the shift device, and the shift device being in conjunction with the conveyer or the two conveyers in series;
- a heater zone, being disposed at an upper part thereof;
- a cooling zone, being disposed next to a rear end of the heater zone;
- a releasing zone, being disposed at the lower part thereof next to the input zone;
- a rear cooling zone, being disposed under the releasing zone next to a middle part of the releasing zone;
- and
- an output zone, connecting with the rear cooling zone;
- whereby, a plurality of plastic bottle blanks at the input zone are delivered by the conveyer or the conveyer to the heater zone at the upper part of the crystallization machine, and are turned to the releasing zone at the lower part of the crystallization machine via a rear end of the conveyer;
- and then the crystallized plastic bottle blanks are removed outward the output zone.
