Details
Features:
-
High-Efficiency Models:
- Greater compression efficiency compared to traditional models.
- More air generated while consuming less power, making it energy-efficient.
-
100% Oil-Free:
- Ensures the supply of clean, oil-free air during the compression process, making it ideal for applications that require strict air quality standards.
- Particularly useful for the PET bottle blowing process, which needs clean air to form bottles efficiently.
-
Specialized Cooling and Moisture Design:
- Includes advanced cooling systems and moisture control mechanisms, ensuring long-lasting performance, especially in demanding industrial environments.
PET Bottle Blowing Process:
The compressor plays a key role in the following steps of the PET/PP bottle forming process:
- The oven heats the preforms.
- The mold is locked onto the transmission mechanism.
- Air is injected into the preform to form the bottle.
- The mold opens, and the product is unloaded.
- The process ends with mold stripping.
The compressor provides the necessary clean air to blow the preform into its final bottle shape.
Applications of Blow Molding:
- The VFW Series is designed exclusively for PET bottle blowing but can be used in various other industrial oil-free air applications, including:
- Pharmaceuticals
- Food and packaging
- Textiles
- Petrochemicals
- Electronics
Compressor Design:
-
Oil-Free, Clean Pressurized Air:
- Driven by the crankshaft without needing an additional oil pump.
- Stainless steel suction and discharge valves ensure long service life.
- Special coatings are applied for resistance to wear and tear, improving operational smoothness.
-
Durable Pistons:
- Made from aluminum alloy for reduced weight and balanced operation.
- Piston rings made of PTFE for enhanced wear resistance.
-
Efficient Cooling and Condensation Design:
- Advanced cooling methods improve compression efficiency and longevity of parts.
-
Low RPM Design:
- Longer service life for critical components due to a lower RPM operation.
Maintenance and Control:
- Comprehensive maintenance features, including predictive servicing and easy removal of parts.
- Standard control panel provides protection from:
- Water loss
- Oil loss
- Electric overload
- Overheating
The VFW Series is available in various capacities, with models offering pressures up to 40 kg/cm² and air capacities ranging from 3.6 m³/min to 23 m³/min.
