In the beverage industry,
Hotfill applications have
become a key focus for many
bottle producers.
Recognizing the increase in
market demand, Wentworth
responded by developing
patented technologies for
tooling to increase
productivity, reduce costs
and improve blow performance
for Hotfill / Heatset
applications.
Wentworth has been issued
patents for their Mold
Assembly with Modular Mold
Shells. This innovative
design provides a mold
assembly for use in hotfill
mold and other applications
that enables the use of
interchangeable parts that
permit height, volume and
shape adjustments to
accommodate for varying
sizes of containers without
having to tool complete new
mold shells.
In comparison with
conventional molds
manufactured for Hotfill
applications, the Mold
Assembly with Modular Mold
Shells has numerous benefits
for the bottle producer:
-
Lower Tooling Costs -
Interchangeable Modular
Mold Shell Sections Run
with Common Components
-
A key advantage for
the bottle producer,
for example, those
requiring the same
container for both a
branded and generic
product can swap out
the dome section
only, eliminating
the need for
complete new mold
shells
-
Variations in Bottle
Height, Volume and Shape
are Easily Adjusted
-
Mold re-work is not
required
-
Faster
Mold Changeover Time
-
Up to
3 times faster as
compared to using
conventional hotfill
molds
-
Lighter
weight, Easier Handling
-
Up to
50% weight reduction
from a conventional
stainless steel
heatset mold
-
Design
Includes Patented
Reduced Heat Transfer
Technology
-
Self
contained heating
medium allows for
better processing of
bottles
-
Substantial heat
loss reduction,
resulting in lower
energy consumption
-
Significant
reduction in time
required to reach
mold start-up
temperature
