Blow molders looking to optimize equipment to boost productivity are looking to Eurotherm's MACO Compact Breeze IIc parison only control system for adaptability to existing machinery, improved productivity, and ease of operation. With a reputation for parison control that is unmatched in the industry, Eurotherm is now offering the Breeze IIc system in a new, low-cost, package with all quality features and benefits expected from Eurotherm, but for a reduced price of approximately $7500.
Eurotherm's Solutions Department has been designing and installing Breeze parison control systems for years. Consistently improving parison control over earlier systems, the Breeze IIc system provides Blow Molders the perfect replacement package for outdated Moog, Hunker, and other systems.
The new Breeze IIc system is a totally integrated, expandable control upgrade that is preconfigured for most blow molding applications and factory programmed based on user specifications. The system is appropriately set-up for immediate and simple installation, bringing parison only wall thickness control to the average operator. Its 100-point parison profile and adaptable retrofitting capabilities allow for consistent wall thickness control which results in improved product quality and reduced costs.
"In today's cost conscious business environment, the MACO Breeze IIc parison control system can help provide better performance from existing equipment for a price that can show ROI in months, not years. Upgrading current machinery is a step forward in reducing capital expenditures during difficult economic times and yet, improves quality, productivity, and performance," says Steve Schroeder, Eurotherm's Business Development Manager, Plastics.
With an easy-to-use operator interface that reports parison profile variances in real time, the dependable Breeze IIc system offers flexible reporting options by allowing the user to quickly modify the profile and compare it to the actual process value. The entered profiles can then be stored internally or on removable USB memory sticks.
The Breeze IIc control system also offers improved security options, with separate administrator and operator status panels for either complete set-up access or operation status only.
Additional benefits include:
- Shared use of internal cards utilized by the MACO DS total machine controller to allow users to stock fewer spare parts
- Pre-configured settings for most commonly used equipment, by time or position
- A large, easy-to read color interface with bilingual language capabilities
- Built-in diagnostics and process monitoring to improve product quality and reduce downtime
- Very high speed loop closure: -0.1ms
