figure1.2-cooling system diagram

1.3.9 Control system( pneumatic，hydraulic and electric)

Control system, “neural center” of this machine, controls and adjusts time,
position, pressure, temperature, speed and rotation effectively through mastering all
procedure action.
1.3.9.1 Pneumatic system
The action of cutter, blow pin blowing and head blowing is achieved by
pneumatic control. As to the action process and principle of pneumatic system,
17
please refer to principle figure of pneumatic system and function introduction(see
Figure1.3).

figure1.3-Pneumatic system principle scheme

1. System structure: It is made up of air compressor( to be equipped by user), air
source handling parts, electromagnetic valve, pressure regulating valve, throttle
valve, air pipe, pressure gauge, conncetor and cylinder.
2. System principle: Air, delivered from air compressor, passes stop valve,
arrives air source handling parts, and reaches pressure gauge, solenoid valve plate
and head blowing regulating valve assigned by four-way connector.
All the process are controlled by electromagnetic valves.
1) Left blow pin blowing: Electromagnet T21 of left blow pin blowing valve is
connected. Blowing begins through pressure relief valve. Air valve electromagnet T21
is disconnected and venting begins.
2) Right blow pin blowing: Electromagnet T22 of right blow pin blowing valve is
connected. Blowing begins through pressure relief valve. Air valve electromagnet T22
is disconnected and venting begins.
3) Cutter: Electromagnet T23 of cutter air valve is connected. Cutter moves
forward. Air valve is disconnected after cutting material. Cutter is repositated.
Cylinder action speed can be controlled by throttle valve.
4 ） deflashing system ： the cutter is connected with T24.T25, Cutter in, after
finishing deflesh, cutter is unconnected, cutter is reset, throttle valve can adjust the
speed of air cylinder
5) The volume of head blowing is controlled by pressure regulating valve.
1.3.9.2 Hydraulic system
Mould opening, closing, rack placing, pen inserting and lifting of this machine are
achieved by hydraulic control. As to working process and action principle of hydraulic
system, please refer to principle figure of hydraulic system(see Figure1.4) and
function introduction.
1. System structure: It is made up of oil pump motor, oil pump, valve plate, oil
18
valve, cooler, oil tank and oil cylinder.
1) Oil pump V4 single pump: When oil cylinder need rapid action, oil pump will
supply sufficient oil by high pressure. When oil cylinder need slow action, oil pump
will supply little oil by low pressure.
2) Electro-hydraulic proportion overflow speed regulating valve(PQ valve) V10:
Regulate pressure and flowrate to satisfy working pressure and speed of different oil
cylinders. Regulating methods: Modify some parameter of some action on computer,
e.g. changing figure of “high pressure mould clamping” from 100 to 120 will increase
mould clamping force (watching pressure guage V8). Speed can be regulated in the
same way. The highest working pressure of this system is set at 140kgf/cm 2(14Mpa).
3) Electromagnetic reversing valve V11 & V16: Can change the direction of oil
cylinder movement.
4) Throttle valve V18: Regulate action speed of head oil cylinder, i.e. quarantee
speed diffenence and stability of head oil cylinder.
5) Liquid control one-way valve V12: It can make oil flow reversely, i.e. when
pressure oil enters liquid control one-way valve inlet X, valve core opens and oil flows
reversely. When no pressure oil passes through X, it is only a common one-way
valve and oil only flows in one way( from A to B). After mould clamping, mould
expension force resulting from blowing to mould chamber may cause mould opening
action slightly and influence products’ quality. In order to avoid this kind of problem,
liquid control one-way valve V12 is mounted in barless chamber of oil cylinder V15 .
6) Assistant elements: oil tank V1, cooler V2, oil sucking filter V5, air cleaner V6,
meter of liquid level & temperature V7 and pressure guage V8.

1.3.9.3 Electric system
Electric facility of this machine adopts power supply of 3-phase 4-wire system
380±10%V and 50±1Hz. Special computer is used to control it. Main parts are from
famous companies at abroad.(we offer different power which is suitable for different
countries)
The system is composed of hydraulic control, heating control, cutter control,
extrusion machine control and action stroke control. Please see Electric Principle
Figure( see Figure 1.4)
1. QS, a 3-phrase power switch, acts as short protective device for oil pump
21
motor M1. When QS is switched, the system is energized and all kinds of operation
are available. Push the “Motor” key on computer operating panel and the oil pump
motor will run. Push the “Motor” key again or push the emergency button, hydraulic
pump motor will stop.
3-phase alternating current passes contactor KM1 & heat relay FR and drives oil
pump motor M1 in rating rotate speed. At the same time, heat relay FR acts as an
overload protective device for hydraulic pump motor M1. Its current regulation value
is set and no user is allowed to change the value randomly.
2. Extrusion machine motor is controlled by frequency changer and interlocked
with material barrel temperature. That is to say, extrusion machine will not run before
material barrel temperature reaches set value. Rotation speed of extrusion machine
motor is controlled by frequency changer according to process requirements.
3. Temperature setting, regulation and indication are processed by computer.
When QF5-QF9 of temperature control circuit is switch on, push the “electrothermal”
key on the computer operating panel and the heating ring is switched on through
contactor KM5-KM9.
The heating ring is sorted into 5 groups and 3 groups of them are installed on
the barrel. The heating temperature is feeded back by thermocouple and regulated
automatically by computer. If the temperature is higher than set value, the barrel fan
will run and cool it back to set value. The other 2 group are installed on the mould
head and their temperature is regulated by computer.
4. Cutter is powered by cutter transformer and heated. Voltage of heating power
is regulated by conversion switch on heating transformer and according to different
blowing process and cutter temperature. Cutting action of cutter is driven by
compressed air.
5. The switching of mold opening & closing speed and pressure, placing rack
moving speed and pressure, and blow pin speed are conducted by proportion valve.
Position is controlled by stroke switch. No user is allowed to change the position
randomly.
6. 1XK & 2XK are stroke switches of safety doors. In case of opening of safety
door, stroke switches will be off and computer output will terminate in order to protect
personal safety. SB1 is emergency switch of machine. In case of any emergency,
push the switch button, which can stop current action and switch off oil pump motor
to prevent further accident.

2) If two central lines do not match. After closing mould manually, loose screw
fixing mould slightly or move mould left and right. During moving mould, it is
allowable to use an iron hammer to knock on mould with a wood block ward. When
head central line and chamber central line are in parallel and superposition, lock
screw to fix mould.
2.3.3 Adjusting of blow pin
Do adjust blow pin before normal operation begins, or pen will be damaged. So
after change of placing rack oil cylinder or mould installation position, blow pin must
be adjusted again. It is required that blowing mouth should insert mould bottle mouth,
central lines of blowing mouth and mould bottle mouth should match and conform,
and force of blow pin should be proper. Adjusting methods are as follow:
1) Start machine manually. Make mould rack move down to end point and close.
Make blow pin fall slowly and stop when blowing mouth approaches mould bottle
mouth. For safe, before this operation, adjust the adjusting cover of blow pin oil
cylinder to position where blow pin will not touch mould, even if it falls completely.
Watch whether blowing mouth centralizes with bottle mouth or not.
2) If blowing mouth departs from bottle mouth, loose fixing screw of blow pin
moving, rotate hand wheel related and adjust blow pin moving in all directions until
29
blowing mouth centralizes with bottle mouth. And then tighten screw and fix blow pin
rack.
3) Adjust the adjusting cover at the top of blow pin oil cylinder piston bar to its
proper position and make blowing mouth cutting ring just touch mould cutting mouth.
The best position is where it can cut gate but not strike mould mouth.
4) Once blowing procedure finishs, mould opens and blowing mouth ascends.
After ascending, induction bar must be connected with approach switch ( If not
connected, adjust approach switch), otherwise, next action( placing rack action) will
not continue.
2.3.4 Adjusting of placing rack
If head central line and chamber central line are not in parallel and superposition
after the above mentioned methods. It is necessary to adjust placing rack as follow:
1) First loose one of the two fixing nuts in the back of placing rack oil cylinder
and then tighten the other nut. Move the whole mould rack forwards or backwards. Its
moving position is dependent on gap of chamber central line away from head center.
Finally tighten fixing nuts.
2) Remove all approach switches of rack up and down so that approach
switches can not induce when placing rack moves to its limit up and down. After that,
manually make placing rack move up and down and stop it at up stop. Then check
again whether head central line and chamber central line are in parallel and
superposition.
3) If head central line and chamber central line are still not in parallel and
superposition, adjust mould rack position until its superposition. After head central
line and chamber central line are in superposition, operate this machine manually
until rack reaches down stop position. Then adjust position of blow pin.
4) After head central line and chamber central line are in superposition and blow
pin is well adjusted and locked, then return all approach switches to its original
position where approach switches can induce when placing rack moves to its limit up
and down.
2.3.5 Adjusting of head blowing
Usually pressure regulating valve and throttle valve can be used to adjust head
blowing volume.
2.3.6 Adjusting of qualification products
1) Adjusting of product weight
(1) Usually adjust the gap between core mould and gate mould at material outlet
under head. The bigger of the gap, the more of the material and the heavier of the
product. Contraliwise, lighter. That is to say, the core mould which disperses head
moves up, less material comes out because of less gap and the product is light.
Contraliwise, heavier. The core mould which collects head moves up, more material
comes out because of bigger gap and the product is heavy. Contraliwise, lighter. This
operation should be conducted during extrusion stop.
(2) Continuous extrusion head can be assorted into up adjusting and down
adjusting. The core mould of up adjusting head is connected with a long bar by
threads. The long bar through head down to up is fixed to head top with two nuts. So
first loose down nut, then tighten up nut and the core mould bottom is lifted.
Contraliwise, loose up nut, then tighten down nut and the core mould bottom is let
30
down. For down adjusting mould, adjust core mould. Its mould gate is fixed after lock.
If you want to change weight of products, you should turn core mould clockwise to lift
core mould or turn it counter-clockwise to let it down.
The above head is adjusted manually. The gap will not change after adjusting of core
mould and gate mould, i.e., the weight of product will not change.
2) Adjust equality of material pipe in circular direction.
3) Open material vent to remove product bond line quickly.
4) Adjust position of blow pin in all directions and adjust action speed and time of
head blowing, cutter and head so that products have equal thickness and even bottle
mouth.
5) After the above adjusting, check other problems of samples, such as, mould
cooling and system temperature until they are qualified.
After finishing all of the installation and adjusting, normal operation can start
once temperature meets requirements.

 Chapter 3 Operation of Machine
3.1 Option of machine operation mode
There are 3 operation modes: Manual, Semiautomatic, Full Automatic.
1) Manual: Push “Manual” key, this machine enters manual state. Under manual
state, set all parameter of all action. Setting methods of all parameters are as
Computer Operation Manual. Push each action key, finish each action and check its
action situation. At the same time, adjust operation pressure, flowrate and position or
stroke switch until they are in best situation. Then begin semiautomatic or full
automatic operation. This kind of operation mode is probably used during mould test
and production beginning stage or used for products which are difficult to be
produced automatically. When set to low speed, it can be used during dismantling
mould & screw and repairing machine. During operating mechanical action manually,
follow action order required by machine.
2) Semiautomatic: Push “ Semiautomatic” key and make machine to conduct
reset adjustment. Blow pin returns to position of back pen stop, placing rack returns
to position of down stop and mould clamping device returns to position of mould
opening stop. After these action, close safety door. The machine will automatically
finish one working cycle according to procedure of “Action Order Figure”. When
action approaches end, safety door opens and take out product. Close safety door
again and next action cycle begins.
During semiautomatic operation, products’ quality and production efficiency are
directly influenced by position selection of all stroke switches, setting of all time and
selection switches of procedure modes.
3) Full automatic: Push “ Full Automatic” key and then push “Reset” and the
machine will reset. Select left rack or right rack or both of them, full automatic cycle
34
will begin according to procedure selected. Once one cycle finishes, placing rack is
automatically connected and next cycle begins. That is the full automatic way. If
action does’t finish within set time, the machine will stop and alarm.
Notes: Before temperature of each stage/zone of material barrel reaches its set
temperature of product moulding process, do not start extrusion machine. Otherwise,
machine will be damaged!

3.2 Notice of operation

The following should be abided by in order to keep safe operation, machine’s
performance and service life.
3.2.1 Safety rules should be followed in operating the machine:
1) Do not start the machine before knowing its features and operating
procedure .
2) Before each operation, check the reliability of safety switches and safety
doors. Do not start machine before confirming all safety devices are perfect and
effective.
3) Do not randomly touch moving, heating and energizing parts during running.
Do not stretch out into mold clamping device. Do not stretch out head. Stop oil pump
motor and switch off power in repair. Be ware of hot material barrel!
4) Two personnels are forbidden to operate one machine at one time except in
installing mould.
3.2.2 Pressure of hydraulic system should be adjusted properly according to
action requirements. Reasonable use of pressure can save power and prolong
service life of machine. Position of each limit switch should be adjusted according to
moulding product. Especially switch point from mould clamping to rack placing should
be paid attention, otherwise molding filling will be deficient or too high vibration
comes into being.
3.2.3 No high rotation speed of screw is allowed in case of no material in screw
or barrel ( less than 20r/min is better). After material is filled in screw channel, then
speed up the screw rotation until required value is got, in order to avoid scratch to
screw and barrel because of high speed or long time idle rotation.
3.2.4 Heating barrel from room temperature to required temperature will take
about 30 minutes. If there is residual cold material in barrel, keep temperature for 10
minutes and then run screw and load material so that residual cold material can be
totally molten and do no harm to screw. Before temperature of each stage/zone of
barrel reaches set temperature of product moulding process, do not run extrusion
machine, otherwise machine will be damaged.
3.2.5 Safety valve of oil loop has been set before delivery and no change is
allowed in normal condition.
3.2.6 After running machine, open cooler inlet valve little by little when
temperature of cooling water is increased by 5-10℃. Adjust the inlet water volume
(usually 75 liter/minute or above) and keep oil temperature under 55 ℃.
3.2.7 Pay much attention to lubrication of machine and operate it according to
operation requirement strictly. Running in oil starvation will cause wearing to machine
(esp. puller bar of mould clamping device) and locking or stop of machine.
3.2.8 Connecting thread area of barrel and head, which are under high
35
temperature, should be coated with lubrication grease (red lead or molybdenum
disulfide) for fear of locking during dismantling.
3.2.9 The working accuracy of the installation surface is high. Don’t use mold
with bad surface, bad parallelism or bad installation screw for fear that performance
of mould clamping device and plate are harmed.
3.2.10 Please keep mutual moving surfaces clean.
3.2.11 Know nameplate of each switch well. No wrong operation is allowed for
fear that elements are damaged.
3.2.12 Check heating ring frequently because it may be loose resulting from heat
expansion. Tighten it soon if found.
3.2.13 The plug of electric thermocouple should contact idle measuring end of
barrel well. Before start, check it and tighten it soon if found.
3.2.14 Earth wire should be connected carefully. Check insulation of electric
elements for personal safety.
3.2.15 Use universal meter to check low voltage loop.
3.2.16 If the machine is used for the first time or has been stopped for a long
time, several minute of idle rotation is necessary after running the oil pump. Then
operate the machine normally.

3.3 Operation of machine

Usually operation should be processed as follows:
1) Switch on power.
2) Push heating key and begin heating.
3) Set parameter.(see “Computer Operation Manual”).
4) Use manual mode to commission machine action, to install mold and to
conduct necessary adjusting.
5) Open cooling water valve. Use semiautomatic mode to trial-produce and
conduct necessary adjusting.
6) After production: a). Open cooling water valve; b).Close material falling plug
board; c).Vent all residual material in barrel; d). Clean material barrel( use
polystyrene to clean decomposed material); e). Close electrothermal switch; f).Use
manual mode to close and open mould to free situation; Stop oil pump motor; g).
Switch off power.

check easily. Check once every 6 months if use city tap water. Check once every
month if use industrial water, ground water or salt water. Prolong or shorten check
period according to machine condition, if necessary. If cooling effect declines, it may
be caused by internal pipeline corrosion or impurities. You may dismantle pipe caps
at two ends and check it.
4.2.2 Cleaning methods
Use alkali washing liquid available from local market to clean inner body and
outside of heating transmission pipe. For troublesome sandwich, use weakly
hydrochloric acid to clean. Flush body and conducting pipe until they are very clean.
Notes: Before assembling heat exchanger again, use water to flush off all
residual chemicals and then wipe them up.
4.3 Oil intake filter
This machine adopts precious filter which is easy to dismantle. Located at inlet
of oil pump,it filters and cleans hydraulic oil.
4.3.1 Dismantlement
During check and repairing pump or pipeline, oil in tank will block automatically if
you loose middle screw of oil filter.
During cleaning filter, you can take it out if you take off screws around top cover.
4.3.2 Cleaning
1) During running-in period of new machine, it is recommended to clean once
every 15 days. Half a year later, clean once every month.
2) Use light oil, gasoline and washing oil to remove all dunghills which block
winding threads.
3) Use compressed air to insert internally and blow off all dunghills from winding
threads.
