BFT-H X2 TS - for optimal tool ventilation
The BFT-H X2 TS mold carrier system is proof of BBG’s development capabilities for custom built machinery, tailored around specific process requirements. Process control is a crucial factor for a successful PUR-RIM production, and venting is one of the key elements. BBG developed the BFT-H X2 TS for RIM applications that require ideal venting conditions, without compromising any operator ergonomics. Combining both requirements often requires making compromises, but the BFT-H X2 TS allows customers to combine both in harmony.
For ideal venting conditions during the injection, the complete mold-carrier system can be tilted sideways between 0 – 45°. The tool and cavity is tilted along the longest dimension of the part, allowing air to be steadily vented towards the top during the entire injection time.
The operator does not only have free tool access from three sides (left, front, right), but the upper and lower platen tilts as well as a stroke extension of the upper platen in the machine’s open position, make it an ideal candidate for customers who prioritize operator ergonomics.
Thanks to the 4-column design, also the left and right side of the machine allow for free access and make this mold-carrier an ideal candidate for interfacing automated load- and unloading systems, robot arms for release agent application, and any other periphery that should be integrated into the production process without obstructing operator accessibility.
