Martin Automated Systems manufactures pail stretchers for both square and round pails. The pail stretchers are water-cooled, and the expanding jaws are machined from stainless tool steel and heat-treated. Pail Stretcher units are highly effective at improving molding cycle time.
Standard Features
- The expanding core is manufactured from heat-treated mould steel. (Stavax)
- The core is water cooled.
- A dual belt conveyor will transport the pails to under the expanding core and out.
- Stop pins are used to hold back upstream pails.
- The core is expanded by means of a wedge, driven by an 8” diameter air cylinder.
- The amount of expansion is controlled by an adjustable barrel style stop.
- Timing parameters of the machine are settable by means of a small HMI.
- A Siemens PLC is used to control the unit.
The unit is supplied with two manuals, a wiring diagram, a parts list, recommended spare parts list, and preventative maintenance.
