Mobile and Safe Solution for the Plastics Processing Industry
The Hot Runner Blow-Out Cabin is an advanced solution specifically developed for companies in the plastics processing industry, enabling quick and efficient removal of material residues from hot runner systems. Thanks to its mobile design and multiple safety features, operators can avoid hazardous situations while simultaneously minimizing production downtime.
Key Features and Applications
- Safe Air Blow-Out with Compressed Air
- The cabin facilitates a controlled cleaning process of hot runner systems using compressed air.
- The enclosed work environment significantly reduces the risk of contact with high temperatures and molten, plasticized material.
- Mobile Construction with a Linear Bearing Platform
- Mounted on wheels, this device is equipped with a sliding platform (table on linear bearings), allowing operators to load heavy hot runner systems outside the cabin and then effortlessly slide them into the cleaning area.
- This setup greatly streamlines handling in the plastics processing industry, while also lowering the risk of operator injury.
- Isolated Work Area
- Special fixtures (e.g., vises) secure the hot runner system inside the cabin, while doors and covers ensure a sealed environment.
- A hinged plexiglass viewing window provides a clear view of the cleaning process without exposing the operator to direct hazards.
- Advanced Safety Features
- Heat-resistant gloves, protective arm sleeves, and an optional fireproof interior lining ensure the highest level of occupational safety.
- The cabin can be connected to a central exhaust system or a dedicated filter unit, efficiently removing fumes and enhancing overall working conditions.
- Flexible Configurations
- The cabin can be upgraded with additional modules (e.g., burners for heating or incinerating plastic residues).
- This makes it versatile for various maintenance and cleaning tasks within the plastics processing environment.
Process Flow – Controlled Maintenance of Hot Runner Systems
- Loading the Hot Runner
- Inserting into the Cabin
- The linear bearing table allows the hot runner system to be smoothly transferred into the cabin’s interior.
- Thanks to its mobile design, the entire unit can be positioned optimally on the production floor.
- Locking and Preparation
- Once the system is secured, the cabin is closed, creating a sealed chamber.
- The operator can monitor the process through the plexiglass window, maintaining full oversight.
- Blowing Out with Compressed Air
- After connecting to the facility’s compressed air supply, the operator initiates the process to remove plastic residues from the channels.
- Protective arm sleeves and heat-resistant gloves provide maximum safety against molten material, while the sealed cabin construction prevents hot fumes from escaping.
- Completing the Cleaning Cycle
Why the Hot Runner Blow-Out Cabin is a Valuable Investment
- Maximum Occupational Safety
By enclosing the work area, using robust protective gear, and offering an optional fireproof interior, the risk of burns or exposure to high temperatures is significantly reduced. - Mobility and Flexibility
The cabin’s wheeled base and the linear bearing platform make it easy to move the unit to different areas of the production facility. Handling heavy hot runner systems becomes more efficient and less risky. - Increased Efficiency
Effective removal of plastic residues lowers the incidence of failures or defects, improving product quality and reducing downtime in the plastics processing environment. - Compliance with Safety and Environmental Standards
By providing a controlled blow-out process and efficient fume extraction, the system helps meet strict health, safety, and environmental regulations.
The Hot Runner Blow-Out Cabin offers a comprehensive solution for companies in the plastics processing industry seeking to safely and efficiently maintain hot runner systems. Its mobile construction, sliding platform with linear bearings, and the option to connect to in-house compressed air and exhaust systems make handling of hot, plasticized materials far easier. Production downtime can be minimized while simultaneously ensuring a high level of workplace safety.
