A valued customer for over 15 years, Mr. Selvam uses ten IFC Blow Moulding Machines, all of which are multilayer, and manufactures water tanks and other commercial products ranging from 50 litres to 2000 litres. Here’s what he has to say:
- Customizable Wall Thickness:
- Setting the desired wall thickness of each layer is simple—just adjust the extruder screw speed.
- Advantages:
a. Thinner outer layers reduce the cost of masterbatch and UV stabilizers.
b. A thicker mid-layer (black) improves tank longevity.
- Reduced Scrap Generation:
- For example, when manufacturing a 20 kg water tank on an IFC machine, only 3.5 kg of scrap is generated, all of which is fully reused in the mid-layer.
- In other machines, 5.5 kg of scrap is generated, and only 2 kg is reusable—a significant cost-saving advantage.
- Precision Layer Uniformity:
- The machine ensures consistent layer thickness across articles.
- Energy Efficiency:
- Power consumption is just 0.5 units per kg of saleable article.
- Excellent Color Mixing and Faster Color Changes:
- Reduced downtime and material waste during production transitions.
- Versatile Lightweight Production:
- Example: A 1000-liter water tank can be produced in both 19 kg and 15 kg variants.
- Multi-Functionality:
- A 3-layer machine can manufacture single-layer and two-layer articles as well.
- Raw Material Flexibility:
- The machine efficiently processes both 100% virgin and 100% regrind materials.
- User-Friendly and Maintenance-Free:
- Ensures smooth, trouble-free operation for long-term reliability.
- Versatility for Smaller Articles:
- Articles of smaller size can be manufactured using a larger accumulator head.
- LBM Grade Raw Material Processing:
- The machine handles diverse material grades effortlessly.
