- Make sure the facilities observe the corresponding safety standards.
- Make sure the facilities do not hinder the safety of the blow moulding machine.
- Make sure that the facilities that must be connected to the blow moulding machine meet the manufacturer
specifications.
- Make sure that the installation and maintenance staff – be it your own or outsourced – is specialised and has
received specific training.
REQUIREMENTS OF THE INSTALLATON PREMISES
The TMS 1002e blow-moulding machine must be placed upon a flat, solid surface able to support its weight
(see technical data).
The installation premises must allow the free circulation around the blow moulding machine and the
implementation of the different operation tasks. Make sure, in particular, that there is enough room to
implement mould change operations as well as to access the switch plate and the interior of the machine.
3.3
SAFETY
The machine has a series of devices to prevent occupational accidents that could harm the
operators or facilities.
All components of the line characterised as having inherent risks, either due to their structure or the processes
involved, have been analysed according to the directive 2006/42/EC and EN 422 2009. In each case, the most
appropriate measures to eliminate or reduce the risks for operators have been taken.
All process drivers should read the following information carefully, which describes the areas of risk and the
corresponding preventive measures, as well as the areas in which there is a degree of "residual risk".
THE SAFETY DEVICES SHOULD BE INSPECTED PERIODICALLY AND CONTINUE TO BE

EFFICIENT.
Page 10 of 106
TMS 5001
THEY MUST NOT BE REMOVED OR DISMANTLED FOR ANY REASON: ANYONE WHO
DELIBERATELY DISABLES OR ALTERS THE SAFETY DEVICES WILL BE RESPONSIBLE
FOR ANY OF THE OPERATIONS THAT ARE CARRIED OUT AFTER SAID MODIFICATION.
3.3.1
RISK AREAS
Operating the machine during the normal production cycle does not present a risk to personnel as the
protective cabins prevent accidental access to moving parts.
If maintenance must be carried out on parts located inside the cabin, the various "risk” areas must be analysed,
which are classified by functional groups in the following table.
THE RISK AREAS ARE CONSIDERED TO BE THE PARTS OF THE MACHINE IN WHICH THERE
IS A RISK OF DEATH, SERIOUS INJURY OR ACCIDENT FOR THE OPERATOR OR PERSONNEL
IN GENERAL, IF THEY ARE EXPOSED DIRECTLY AFTER HAVING REMOVED OR DISABLED
THE SAFETY PROTECTIONS AND DEVICES.

3.3.3
TMS 5001
AREAS OF RESIDUAL RISK
Since all the process operations are automatic the machine has no residual risks; even when operating in
manual mode it is fully fitted with safety devices and guards.
However, despite the measures taken, a certain hazard level is inevitable if the functionality of the line is not
reduced.
Therefore, this section details a series of general criteria to identify the areas of "residual risk".
THIS CATEGORY INCLUDES THE AREAS IN WHICH THE OPERATOR IS EXPOSED TO A RISK
OF DEATH, INJURY OR ACCIDENT IF THE DANGER SIGNS ARE IGNORED AND THE SAFETY
MEASURES DESCRIBED
IN SECTION 02 AND 2.6 ARE NOT APPLIED AND IF THE WORK IS NOT DONE WITH CAUTION.
1. The control panel area must be considered as one of residual risk because the operator cannot see the
entire machine from this area: Before sending a movement instruction the operator must ensure that no one
is working on the machine or close to it.
2. In addition the entire machine must be considered as a residual risk area due to the presence of electric
and pneumatic energy and high temperature parts.
3. For the same reasons the furnace area also presents a residual risk of burns.
4. The electrical cabinets are areas of residual risk because even when the cabinet doors are open and the
safety devices are activated, high voltage still passes through the terminals where the cabinet is connected to
the external network: if the operator touches these contacts they can die from electrocution.
5. The pressure accumulator (40bar) and both the high pressure (40 bar) and low pressure (10bar) lines are
under pressure when the machine is ready to start the blowing cycle. If an emergency stop is activated these
are emptied automatically.
Before performing any operation, the isolation valves must be closed and the 40bar and 10bar lines
depressurized through the respective valves, verifying that the pressure gauges indicate "0".
THE PRESSURE GAUGES SHOULD READ “0”
3.4
SAFETY DEVICES
3.4.1
GENERAL INFORMATION
The machine has a series of built-in protections for the operator or other people exposed to inherent or residual
risks and hazards during the normal work cycle.
There are two types of safety devices:
- Passive safety devices: These are those that prevent the operator contact moving parts of the machine or
entering hazardous areas when the machine is operating automatically. (e.g. protective shell, fixed screens,
etc.).
Page 12 of 106
TMS 5001
- Active safety devices: These are the protective devices that block the machine when the necessary safe
conditions are not detected (e.g. limit switches, door safety center, etc.).
The coordination between both types of devices ensures compliance with the safety requirements needed to
protect personnel from possible risks and hazards.
SIDE S.A DOES NOT ACCEPT ANY RESPONSIBILITY IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT WHERE A
SAFETY DEVICE IS ALTERED BY THE USER OR ANY OTHER DESIGNATED PERSON, THE
USER BEING SOLELY RESPONSIBLE BEFORE THE INSPECTION BODIES.
3.4.2
CABIN SAFETY DEVICES
ANY ALTERATION OF A SAFETY DEVICE BY THE USER EXEMPTS SIDE S.A FROM ANY RESPONSIBILITY
AND MAKES THE USER SOLELY RESPONSIBLE BEFORE THE COMPETENT INSTITUTIONS
IF THE MACHINE DOOR LIMIT SWITCHES FAIL THE EMERGENCY STOP IS ACTIVATED
REFERENCE DESCRIPTION PURPOSE

1 Anti-intrusion screens - Panels of fixed screens on the machine
(Typical) frame. Mechanical protection located in
areas where there is a risk to people.
2 Hinged doors. - Hinged doors and limit switches are

activated when the door is closed.
3 Discharge valves (40bar) - Valves responsible for emptying the air
Discharge valves (10bar) from the machine in case of an emergency
stop.
4 Accumulator safety valve. - Prevents overpressure within the
accumulator.
5 Blowing block switch. -
OPENING THE DOORS WHEN THE AUTOMATIC CYCLE IS OPERATING CAUSES AN

INMEDIATE EMERGENCY STOP
3.4.3
EMERGENCY PUSH BUTTONS
These switches are located in different areas of the machine to allow the operator to immediately stop the
operation of the machine at any time:
- Cabin emergency push buttons.

- Internal emergency push buttons.
Page 13 of 106
TMS 5001
An emergency stop push button is a self-latching, red mushroom-headed button which transmits the
emergency stop command to the control system. When this button is activated the machine stops working
immediately.
Specifically, when activating an emergency stop push button:
- The electrical power is immediately disconnected.

- The upstream and downstream air supply circuit is interrupted.
While an emergency push button remains pressed it is not possible to carry out any operation; to
restore normal operation it must be unlocked by turning it in the direction of the arrow and
pressing the "EMERGENCY RESET" button located in the control panel.
 A full description of the selectors can be found in section 6.1
THE EMERGENCY STOPS PUSH BUTTON MUST ONLY BE USED IN THE EVENT OF DANGER
TO THE OPERATOR OR MACHINE. USING IT TO STOP THE MACHINE WHEN THERE IS NO
DANGER PRESENT IS AGAINST THE SAFETY RULES AND CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE
MACHINE
3.4.4
ELECTRICAL CABINET SAFETY DEVICES
3.4.4.1
ELECTRICAL CABINET DOOR SAFETY DEVICES
These safety devices interrupt the power supply to the entire machine in case of opening one of the master
cabinet doors.
The cabinet has a limit switch and a hardware device that automatically trigger the mains switch when a door
is opened.
3.4.4.2
FLASHING VOLTAGE INDICATORS
These indicator lights are located above the master and slave cabinet doors; they allow detecting if there is a
voltage in the cabinet when the door is open by remaining lit intermittently.
3.4.4.3
MAINS ISOLATION SWITCH WITH DOOR LOCK
It is located inside the cabinet and is activated from the outside using a control panel located on the cabinet door.
It has two positions, "0" (closed) and "1" (open); the cabinet can only be opened when the switch is set to "0", i.e., when
the cabinet is not energised.

TMS 5001
Nomenclature:
Work Modes The machine has three main modes: Manual Mode, Auto Mode and Alarm. The first two
are selected by selector key pushbutton located on the front, as long as we are not in
alarm status.
Manual Mode: Preparatory mode for the machine where there are a series of displays
for moving, adjusting and configuring all the machine's features. We can also run the
various machine cycles. We cannot produce bottles or containers.
Automatic or Auto mode: machine production mode. By using the push buttons located
on the machine keypad, we can put the machine into production.
Machine Cycle. This is the complete machine cycle for producing one or more cylinders according to its
mould cavities; it is repeated periodically. Within one machine cycle are the following
processes: preform loading, transport of preform holders or bottle holders, preform
blowing, bottle extraction.
Homing Initial positioning function. This function positions all mechanical, electrical and
pneumatic systems to the correct position for starting the cycle. In older machines, it was
called "reset".
EV Short for pneumatic or hydraulic solenoid.
FC Short for photocell or photoelectric cell.
Machine OK Machine prepared for production start-up.
Primary Alarm Alarm occurring due to any severe cause (for example, emergency mushroom opening
the machine doors). Primary Alarms shut off dangerous power sources (electric,
pneumatic and hydraulic). Whenever a primary alarm is triggered, the machine alarm
sounds continuously.
Process Alarm This alarm occurs when the various machine cycles are running and they cannot
continue because of an event (for example, waiting for a detector of a given element).
Whenever a Process Alarm is triggered, the machine alarm sounds continuously.
Secondary Alarm Warning of an event (for example, Greasing Alarm). This does not shut down the
production cycle of the machine. Whenever a Secondary Alarm is triggered, the machine
alarm sounds intermittently.
Reset Alarms Used by the operator to acknowledge alarms and clear them.
Password Password to access menus and/or advanced program options, or to determine the
different levels of access according to type of machine operator.
Access Level According to operator type, the machine program defines the access to the various
functions. Access Level refers to the level of the operator to manage the machine.
Access levels are (from most basic to advanced): U-BAS-Basic user, U-ADV-Advanced
User, U-SAT-Maintenance User, U-MAN- SIDE Manufacturer User).
Preventive The machine provides periodic warnings (weekly, monthly, quarterly, annual and bi-
Maintenance annual) for the maintenance of the various elements to prevent possible problems and
production stoppages.
Page 36 of 106
TMS 5001
Change of access level
By pressing the icon in the top right-hand corner of the screen, we access the machine program's access level
screen. At the same time, this displays the current access level.
The various access levels are (in order of priority):
U-BAS Basic User

U-ADV Advanced User
U-SAT User Maintenance
U-MAN SIDE Manufacturer User
With a keyword or Password we can move from one access level to another for a specified time. The basic
access level (U-BAS) requires no password, and is the baseline for the production operator. Advanced access
level (U-ADV) is designed for the machine operator or technician; from this level we can modify the operating
parameters of the machine or process. This level is also required for using the machine in manual operating
mode.
Finally, there are two levels for maintenance personnel (U-SAT) and in which the machine manufacturer can
alter the parameters.
Keywords or passwords have a limited duration, after which the system automatically activates the basic
access level.
Page 37 of 106
TMS 5001
There is a standard, 4-digit password for advanced use of the machine that will be provided to the end user
when SIDE personnel set up the machine.
On the screen, we find:
- Entry field for password or keyword (the entry will be displayed as "*")
- Current Access Level
- Access Level Times: access time and total time remaining for the selected access.
If it were necessary to provide a password to access certain internal data or special functions, the SIDE
manufacturer would provide temporary passwords and provide information on specific features or functions.
FORMAT NAME
We access this screen by clicking on the name of the format found in the header at the top of the screen.
This screen is used to define the format name of the bottle or container to be produced by the blower.
It should be a logical name and one that serves to identify the work format, while offering the possibility of
saving a description or additional information that will be saved in the format data and parameters.
Changing the name of the format, automatically changes the name that appears at the top of the screen, and
the name by which the information is stored in the data screen.

- Pre-blow Ext. Time: extra activation time (in seconds) of the pre-blowing SV.
- Blow time: time taken (in seconds) for the activation of the high pressure SV to generate a bottle.
- Decompression Time: time taken (in seconds) for the activation of the decompression SV to remove
the air from inside the mould.
- Prod.: Blowing Time Adjustment: Automatic adjustment of the blowing time in order to reach the
desired level of production.
- Decompression Time: Time taken (in seconds) for the bottle to decompress. A yellow value means
that it has not been updated.
Blow Process Options
- Pre-Blow: activates/deactivates the low pressure SVs. It is used for testing.

- Blown: for the correct control of the blowing process, the preforms are only blown if their
temperatures (read by the infrared cameras at the exit of the heater) are between the minimum and
maximum blowing temperatures (see “Heater” screen). This option deactivates this function so that
the preforms are blown, independently of what the infrared cameras read.
- Discard Bottle (Pressure): activates / deactivates the detection of an exploded bottle during the
blowing time. With this function activated, the inside cavity pressure is verified once the time
“Blowing Stop Time” has passed. If the interior pressure is inferior to the pre-determined pressure,
the blowing SVs are deactivated in order to minimise air loss.
- Air reclamation: enables/disables the high-pressure air during recovery function during the
decompression process.

OVEN SCREEN (1/2)
TMS 5001
The Oven Screen in Automatic Mode is divided into three areas: on the left are the preform heater control
indicators. In the central part are time and parameter settings for controlling the oven. On the right, we can
modify the optional process features. At the top is a bar showing the heating process, along with the status
The oven temperature control process is managed firstly by the temperature sensors located at the outlet of
each oven, and secondly with infrared cameras that directly focus on the preforms that leave the oven. Each
oven consists of separate modules, and each module has a number of lamps. Each lamp is controlled
independently. All these parameters and data are controlled from the oven screens.
Oven Controls
- Oven Power: on/off status of ovens module power.

- Ventilator: indicates on/off status of ovens module fans.
- Water intake: indicates the status of the inlet water solenoid for cooling the ovens and press.
- Pre-Heat: pre-heating status of the oven (for each oven). The oven is preheated when the
temperature of the probes is lower than the pre-heating temperature (see oven control parameters).
- Oven OK: status of the oven OK signal. Oven OK is when the oven is turned on and its temperature
is higher than the preheating temperature.
- Oven Temp.: temperature reading of the oven using temperature probes.
- Cameras Temp.: preform temperature reading using the infrared cameras positioned at the oven
output.
- Average Temp.: average temperature of the last five camera readings. This is the temperature used
for dynamic temperature compensation.
- Compensation: current value of the temperature compensation, in percentile values compared to the
values programmed in the temperature profile.
Oven Control Parameters
Page 54 of 106
TMS 5001
- Cycles Pre-Heating: oven pre-heating temperature. If the temperature reading of the probes is lower
than this parameter when starting up the oven, the pre-heating process will start until the
temperature we have entered for this parameter is reached.
- Percentage Pre-Heat: Percentage of pre-heating on the temperature profile scheduled to be
implemented during oven pre-heating.
- Max/Min. Temp. Blow 1: maximum and minimum temperatures that define the temperature range in
which the machine will blow the preforms.
- Min. Temp. Stretch: minimum temperature below which the preform is not stretched.
- Desired Pref. Temp.: preferred temperature for each of the cavities. This value serves as a reference
temperature during dynamic temperature compensation. The oven control will apply the
compensation necessary to achieve and maintain the desired temperature.
- Ventilator Speed: Speed of the fan in each control module. The parameter is a percentage relative of
the maximum fan power regulated by speed adjuster.
- Pref. Neck Vent Speed: Speed of the fan in each control neck. The parameter is a percentage
relative of the maximum fan power regulated by speed adjuster.
- Oven Modulation: percentage applied on the programmed temperature profiles. It will be applied
once the heater reaches the Pre-Heating temperature.
Oven Control Options
- Pre-Heat.: Enables or disables oven pre-heating.

- Compens.: enables/disables the dynamic temperature compensation process for each of the
cavities. (x1 / x2).
- Oven Simulation: For testing. It allows you to simulate a working heater in order to carry out
adjustments and checks without turning on the heater lamps. It also turns off the minimum water and
air temperature process alarms.
- Power Reduction Module: Enables or disables power reduction module.

OVEN SCREEN (2/2)
TMS 5001
If we press the Heater screen in Automatic Mode a second time, we will access a second heater control
screen where we are able to see a temperature graph of the heaters and the cameras.
We can also see a register of the evolution of the temperatures during the preform blowing process in an
attached table.

From the Oven control screen, we can access the screens Oven 1 and Oven 2.
On these screens we will define the temperatures. This is the power of each one of the lamps for each height
of the preform. This is repeated for each module in each heater. The power value of the lamps is introduced
as a percentage of the maximum power. The numbering of the lamps is carried out in the following way: the
main lamp is number 1, counting upwards until we reach the least powerful lamp which is given the number
of the total maximum amounts of lamps in the oven.
The graphical profile of each heater involved in the process is shown on the same screen.
On the TMS5001 XL, all of the lamps are normally 1000W apart from the main lamp (Nº 1) which is 2000W.

MANUAL SCREEN
In Manual mode, there are screens and options for manual operation of the various electric, pneumatic, and
mechanical devices involved in the operation of the machine.
From this screen, we access the same screens as in automatic mode, but adapted for manual mode tests and
adjustments.
We can also run partial cycles of the various functions of the machine (Loader Cycle, Extractor Cycle, Transport

SAVING FORMATS
DATA SCREEN
From the data display, we manage format storage. All data necessary to reproduce the production of a bottle
or container is stored in so-called formats. These include data for the blowing process, but also the
configuration data of the machine elements such as parameters of servos, oven temperatures, production,
description of the format ...
This data is stored in a computer file in an internal screen memory. We can keep as many formats as necessary
(very many). Each data file has a name (usually the name of the format of the bottle to be produced).
The storage (Save) and loading the disc is always done from the current format workspace in use.
The screen is divided into four parts:
- Save Current Format on Disk: save the current work format (with the current name) to disk. We can
confirm or change the name, and on pressing the button "Save to Format to Disk", it is copied.
- Load Format from Disc: from a drop-down list, we select the format to upload, and click "Load Format
from Disc" to load it.
- Delete disc Format: delete stored format. From the drop down list, select the format to delete.
- Import/Export Formats: options for importing/exporting formats to external memory media (USB or
MMC Card). Export means copying the formats stored on Disk to USB memory or MMC. Import means
copying the formats from USB or MMC memories to disk. The transfer of information is done using a
CSV format file.

Step 1: Press the arrow icon to view drop-down list of stored formats on the disk. Select the desired format.
Step 2: Press "Load Format from Disc" to load the selected format.
Step 3: The control system asks us if we are sure we want to load the format selected in the work area
because the process data with which we are working will be overwritten, and therefore we will lose the
current work data.

ALARMS AND MESSAGES
ALARMA SCREENS
The Alarms screen may appear automatically when any type of alarm is triggered on the machine.
There are three types of alarms:
• Primary Alarm: Alarm occurring due to any severe cause (for example, emergency mushroom, or
opening the machine doors). Primary Alarms shut off power sources (electric, pneumatic and
hydraulic). Whenever a primary alarm is triggered, the machine alarm sounds continuously.
• Process Alarm: This alarm occurs when the various machine cycles are running and they cannot
continue because of an event (for example, waiting for a detector of a given element within the cycle
...). Whenever a Process Alarm is triggered, the machine alarm sounds continuously.
• Secondary Alarm: Warning of an event (for example, Greasing Alarm). This does not shut down the
machine production cycle. Whenever a Secondary Alarm is triggered, the machine alarm sounds
intermittently.
When the "Alarm" light on the screen is red, it indicates a Primary or Process Alarm. The yellow "Warning"
light indicates that there is an active secondary alarm or warning.
Once an alarm of any kind has been triggered, pressing the RESET button on the control keypad or screen
(bottom left) once will cancel the audible alarm. Pressing a second time, means the alarm is considered
resolved, and the screen automatically adopts its current working mode.
Page 64 of 106
TMS 5001
In the centre of the screen is a list of the alarms that may occur. There may be one or several primary,
secondary and process alarms, and some of them are occasionally the product of the others.
The alarm texts display the alarm identification numbers, and the date and exact time at which they occur.
The alarm descriptive text will normally start with an identifier of the function and location the machine was
doing when the alarm occurred (LOADER, EXTRACTOR, TRANSPORT, RELEASE, HOMING, ALARM,
MAINT ...). We can see the meaning of each one in the alarm list.
All alarms are recorded in a master file, where a list of the last 10,000 alarms is stored.
Functions:
- E-STOP: indicates the status of emergency mushrooms (Emergency Stop)

- Doors: indicates the status of the machine's safety doors.
- Siren: status of the acoustic signal that warns of an alarm state.
- Pilot Reset: indicates status of the signal lamp that indicates resetting of (Reset) alarms.
- Alarm Pri / Pro / Sec: Indicates the Primary / Process / Secondary alarm status.
- Reg: button that forces a complete logging of parameters and data for analysing a possible fault.
- Manual: direct access to the manual mode screens if the machine is in alarm status.
- Auto: direct access to the auto mode screens if the machine is in alarm status.
- Del. Reg.: Clear alarm log of the machine.

TAKING THE MOULD OUT OF THE MACHINE
1. Remove the blast tubes from the bottom of the mould.
2. Remove the fixing bolts from the bottom of the mould and remove the bottom of the mould.
3. For maximum format moulds, fitthe safety fixing flanges on the machine. Then open the press to access the
fastening screws.
Page 69 of 106
4. Then access each half-mould and remove the fastening screws.
TMS 5001
5. Safety flanges cannot be fitted for normal format moulds. First, you must open the press to loosen the
fastening screws. All but two on the front should be loosened. Do the same for the other half.
6. Close the mould, removing the fixing flanges for the maximum format moulds, or the 4 remaining screws for
standard moulds. Fit the mould joint flanges:
Page 70 of 106

7. Bring the mould transporter base close. Centre and attach the wheels. Then pull the mould and fit it on the
base.
8. To assemble the mould, proceed in the same manner but in reverse order. Observe the tightening torque
of 250Nm for the M16 12.9 mould fastening screws and 60Nm for the M10 12.9. basefastening screws.
7.2.2
LIFT ADJUSTMENT
First, adjust lift speed so that the preforms are correctly loaded into the machine. In order to change the
speed of the lift belt, it is necessary to regulate the variator frequency, adjusting it to heavier or lighter
loads.
The variator is placed in the switchboard, marked with the sign U2. To modify the speed, turn the wheel
marked on the picture around.
Note: this is an optional operation.

7.2.3
ADJUSTING THE LEAD IN CONVEYOR
Page 71 of 106
TMS 5001
Once the lift adjustment process is over, adjust the lead in conveyor rollers. Use the preforms of the new
format or a gauge with the measure for the format intended.
1. Loosen the bolts marked in the picture, two on each end, and open or close the rollers DEPENDING
on the format intended.
2. Place the two preforms on each end and adjust the position of the rollers so that the body of the preform
passes through the two rollers and so that the preform wing prevents it from falling. Depending on the
dimensions of the preform wing, leave more or less space between the roller and the preform (“X”
measure).
3. Once the rollers have been adjusted, tighten the bolts marked in the picture. Repeat these steps for
each pair of rollers.
Page 72 of 106
7.2.4
TMS 5001
LEAD IN HOPPER ADJUSTMENT
1. Adjust the upper guides. To adjust the rollers, use a new preform format as a guide or a gauge set to the
dimensions of the format you want to use. This is similar to adjusting the rollers. To begin, loosen the screws
shown.
2. Leave enough room between the rails and the preform so that the latter may pass through them.
Depending on the size of the preform wing, leave more or less room between the rails and the preform
(“X” measure). Values advised: never below 0.5mm.
3. Once the rails of the lead in conveyor and the divider have been adjusted, adjust the roofs that prevent
the preforms from raising when they are coming down the lead in conveyor. In order to adjust them, loosen
the nuts as shown in the pictures. With the regulating screws, adjust the roof height.
Page 73 of 106
TMS 5001
4. Leave the roof at 3mm from the preform, placing the latter upon the wing of the next one, as shown in the
picture. It is very important to observe the parallelism between the preform support rail and the roof.
Depending on the preform type, the 3mm parameter might vary, thus, this value should be taken as an
informative one when adjusting it for the first time.
Write down the final value of the adjustment for future reference, for format changes with the same preform
neck take must be implemented.
3mm
5. Once the whole unit has been adjusted, put its protections back in place.
7.2.5
CAMBIO DE FORMATO
1. To change the preform holder unit nozzles, we must first detach the preform protectors. To do so, we
unscrew the M6 screws (x2) that hold them in place.
2. Once we have extracted the guard, we can see the two "O" rings that hold the nozzle. To replace it by the
new nozzle format, we remove the upper ring upwards so that the nozzle loosens at the top and we can extract
it properly.
Page 74 of 106
TMS 5001
3. Then assemble the new nozzle format, performing the above procedure in
reverse. We place the new nozzle in the preform holder, easing it from the top.
Once inserted, we slide the ring to hold the neck of the nozzle that we had
previously withdrawn.
4. Finally, we assemble the preforms guard. We tighten the M6

screws (x2) to 14 Nm.
5. We repeat the process for the other nozzles.
When we want to change nozzles format with a diameter greater than 60 mm, we must arrange the preform
holder units in such a way that the preform holders are fitted in the transport every two places; that is one
occupied and the next empty.
7.2.7
SETTING THE OVEN
Before manipulating the ovens, make sure the machine

voltage is off and the ovens are cold. Do not touch the
bulbs and the grease deposits with unprotected hands
Page 75 of 106
TMS 5001
1. First, adjust the protections of the preform neck to the
new format. Loosen the screws shown in the picture
both at oven entrance and exit.
2. Place a preform inside the nozzle on each end of the oven.
3. By regulating the slotted brackets, we can set the

optimal distance.
Y:~25 mm
4. Then check whether measure “Y” equals 25mm
approximately. This measure is also an approximate one and
before modifying the position of the bulbs you are advised to
define the thermal profile, modifying their voltage parameters.
Still, if you are working with very little or very big preforms, you
might have to bring the bulbs closer to the preforms or separate
them instead.
5. In order to modify the position of the bulbs it is necessary to remove the oven
modules from the machine. First, turn the electric switch off.
Page 76 of 106
TMS 5001
6. Then remove the lateral hold down nuts and remove the oven.
7. Place the oven upon a workbench and loosen the lateral fixing bolt of the bulb support. Do the same thing
with the other bulb support.
8. Take the bulb with the hand by its two ends and move it towards the desired measure and then fix the lateral
bolt.
9. Depending on the type of bottle, it might be necessary to move the bulb vertically.
Page 77 of 106
TMS 5001
10. In order to regulate it, access the rear fixing bolt, loosen it and move the bulb support vertically.
7.2.8
FEEDER ADJUSTMENT
1. Loosen screws and adjust front guides.
2. Regulate photocell and mirror to the desired height.
Page 78 of 106
TMS 5001
3. Leave 3mm between the cover and the top of the preform, which should rest on the following preform's
flange, as shown in the illustration. It is very important that the support guide and the cover are kept parallel.
It is possible that, depending on the type of preform, a distance of 3mm may not be suitable;therefore, this
value should be treated as the default value when making the first adjustment.
4. Adjust side carriages to meet the 53 mm dimension. Then regulate the front stops so that the preform is
aligned with the cylinders.

7.2.10
STRETCHING CALIBRATION
1. After changing the mould, retune the machine so that it comes into position.
2. Once the machine has come into position, go to the manual screen, press “close press mould” to lower the
bottom and keep pressed until the opening of the press reaches 5mm, in order to calibrate the stretching
correctly.
3. Enter the manual screen then, and choose from a range of stretching rods.
4. Exit the manual screen and go to the main screen again, press the stretching position, right by the press.
5. Place a preform upon the cannula, press key F1, the stretching cannula starts moving up. When the preform
hits the bottom, press the stretching calibration key, which is placed in the bottom left side; the stretching
position overlaps with the adjusted position.
6. After calibrating the stretching, lower the cannula down to its zero position and open the press from the
control screen in order to take the preform out.
7. Retune the machine.
8. Turn the key to the “automatic” position and start the machine.

BLOWING ADJUSTMENT
IN CASE OF ADJUSTMENT OPERATIONS:
IT IS NECESSARY TO TURN OFF ONE OF THE TWO SECURITY KEYS (A OR B) TO

SWITCH OFF THE MACHINE AND GET INTO IT SAFELY.
IT IS A MANDATORY REQUIREMENT THAT THE OPERATOR TAKES WITH HIM ONE KEY
(A OR B) TO GUARANTEE THAT THE MACHINE DOESN’T WORK. IN THIS ACTION YOU
CAN ENSURE THAT ANY OTHER OPERATOR CAN’T TURN ON THE MACHINE WHILE
ANOTHER OPERATOR IS INSIDE IT. (See the chapter 3.4.4.6)
8.1
PARAMETERS OF THE THERMAL FIXATION PROCESS
8.1.1
PREFORM PRODUCTION ENVIRONMENT AND CONDITIONING
- Production environment:
Process stability demands a controlled-climate environment. Under ideal conditions, the room temperature
should range between +25/- 2ºC, with 25% to 40% relative humidity.
- Preform storage and use:

Preforms must be stored in a low-humidity environment at controlled temperature. Before using them, they
must be allowed to adapt to the production room temperature. This process usually takes 12 to 24 hours,
depending on the temperature difference between the storage and the blowing rooms. A first in/first out system
should be implemented and observed in order to use the preforms.
The preforms from different manufacture dates and presses might respond differently to a specific process
configuration. Try to store preforms so that you can work with boxes from similar dates and produced by the
same injection machines (presses) subsequently. This will reduce any process variations, which usually cause
mechanic and quality problems. If preforms from different dates and presses are used, you might have to
manipulate the mould-blowing machine constantly in order to guarantee the integrity of the containers.
- Effects of environmental conditions upon preforms:

The age and the humidity content of preforms affects container elaboration to a great extent. The higher the
humidity content in the preform, the faster it will crystallise, and it will be necessary to reduce the general
preform temperature in order to avoid a cloudy aspect on the surface.
Humidity also makes preforms stretch easily under high preform temperature, for polyethylene terephthalate
(PET) plasticises or softens by the action of water. This affects the stability of the process and it might make it
necessary to reduce preform temperature and the speed of the mould blowing machine so as to control the
distribution of the material and the resistance of the containers. As the reduction of the preform temperature
affects negatively its resistance during the filling process, humidity accumulation on the PET preforms should
be avoided.
8.1.2
PREFORM HEATING
- Heating method:
Preforms are heated by passing through a series of ovens, each of them provided with eight 1, 2 and 0.5 kw
infrared bulbs, depending on the area and/or type of oven.
- Configuring the bulbs:

The number of oven rows and heating bulbs depends on the platform of the blowing machine and on the
application of the container. The bulbs are placed horizontally in the oven and their height and closeness can
be regulated (depending on the blowing machine model). To guarantee a uniform heating, preforms rotate
upon the preform carriers depending on the speed of the blowing machine.
Page 80 of 106
- Controlling the bulbs inside the oven:
TMS 5001
The use of infrared bulbs to heat the preforms allows a uniform distribution of the temperature throughout the
preform in order to optimise the vertical distribution of the material. In general, heating an area reduces the
thickness of the wall in the corresponding part of the container, while cooling an area makes the thickness of
the wall increase. It must be possible to regulate, connect, switch off, bring near and separate each bulb
individually.
- Area localisation:
Preform planning is a usual technique to determine which areas affect directly certain parts of the blown
container. An adequate use of this processing tool allows processors shape the blown container thermally in
an efficient way. Using the nozzle of an altimeter, shape several preforms horizontally each 15mm or 19 mm
(depending on the oven configuration) following the central horizontal line of each oven bulb. The first mark
should match the central line of the first bulb and it should be approximately 6mm above the clamp. The shaped
preforms are identified by marking the end and loading them in the oven. Then the containers are blown and
they are recovered when the bottle is delivered. Marks are written down in the blown container, the first line of
the container matches the first line of the oven bulbs, the second one matches the second line of the oven
bulbs and so on.
8.1.3
PREFORM TEMPERATURE
- Meaning:
Preform temperature is a critical process parameter and it must be controlled. As preform temperature rises,
the orientation of the container established during the stretching stage decreases, which makes the
viscoelastic memory decrease too. As the viscoelastic memory decreases the shrinking potential decreases.
Yet, as preform temperature decreases, the shrinking potential at high temperatures increases.
8.1.4
PRE-BLOWING STAGES
- Purpose of pre-blowing:
Pre-blowing air is used to inflate partially the heated preform to slow down the stretching speed and prevent
the preform from touching the stretching rod during the stretching process, cooling the material down. The pre-
blowing is a primary process parameter that makes it possible to control material distribution.
- Electric stretching encoder position:

Each function of the blowing cycle starts by using encoder points that blow the valves. The position o f each
encoder point can be separately moved from the screen, using times.
In general, the pre-blowing encoder point is placed in such a way that pre-blowing air is activated with the
stretching rod comes into contact with the base of the preform: this is called ZERO POINT. To determine the
zero point we will show how to adjust it further on, in the practical example section.
- Pre-blowing pressure:
The speed and the volume of the pre-blowing flow are reduced by means of a fixed-diameter hole placed in
the pre-blowing supply line. The pre-blowing pressure is controlled by means of a regulator controlling the
magnitude of the variable flow. The parameterizations of the pre-blowing pressure range between 7 and 15
bars. Pre-blowing pressure affects the distribution of the material in a similar way as the situation of the pre-
blowing encoder point. Usually, when the pressure is lower the amount of material stretched down to the base
of the container increases. Yet, when the pressure is higher, the amount of material remaining in the upper
part of the container is higher too. Parameterizations of too high pressure may make the preform injection point
stick out from the end of the rod, causing misaligned openings. Parameterizations of too low pressure may
make the preform touch the stretching rod, cooling the material down and creating folds in the base or causing
problems with material distribution.
- Pre-blowing checking:
In order to assess the size and texture of the preform aneurysm, a pre-blowing test can be made. The control
screen makes it possible to carry out this test as the pre-blowing function remains active while the high
pressure blowing function is switched off. The removal of pre-blown containers will make it possible to assess
the efficiency and texture of the pre-blowing process. When placed side by side, the pre-blown containers
should have a similar shape and size. Important variations show differences between the blowing units which
might include leaks, uneven hole restrictors or poorly adjusted flow valves.
Page 81 of 106
TMS 5001
- Pre-blowing as a process option
Sometimes, containers may be processed without pre-blowing. This usually produces containers with less
variations as far as material distribution is concerned and hence more consistent loads. This method is not
recommended for preforms with a reduced interior diameter, since these preform take less time to touch the
stretching rod and thus the material cools down faster, which makes stretching more difficult. When pre-
blowing is not used, it is important to start the high pressure blowing right during or after point number ten so
as to guarantee that the opening is fixed and remains closed (see section 8.1.5)
PRE-BLOWING KEY POINTS:
. Pre-blowing starts later > More material towards the base >Too late > Base folds.
. Pre-blowing starts sooner > More material in the upper part >Too soon > Misaligned
openings.
. Increase of pre-blowing pressure >More material in the upper part >Too high >Misaligned
openings.
. Decrease of pre-blowing pressure >More material towards the base >Base folds.
8.1.5
HIGH PRESSURE BLOWING
- High pressure blowing
High pressure air is used to push the heated preform against the walls of the mould, making it adapt to the
mould walls. Besides, the close contact between the hot plastic and the cold mould (if kept for an adequate
time) facilitates the fixation of the oriented molecular structure and the subsequent resistance increase in the
walls of the blown container.
- Positioning the high pressure blowing encoder points:
The high pressure encoder points are placed so as to let high pressure air work when the stretching rod has
reached its highest peak, fixing the lower part of the preform between the mould base and the stretching rod,
guaranteeing the alignment of the preform opening. This is called point number ten. This adjustment is made
when the rod is calibrated.
The optimisation of the container might demand a relocation of the encoder point. If during the stretching
calibration for the blowing process they are positioned too soon, the openings of the bottle might be misaligned,
for the air is activated before the stretching rod reaches the lower part of the preform or fixes the base opening.
If during the stretching calibration they are positioned too late, the bottle base might have folds, for the
stretching rod has already fixed the preform and the material accumulates around the stretching rod, cooling
it and preventing stretching.
Usually, a later blowing process start guarantees the stretching of more material towards the base of the
container; while, a sooner blowing process start guarantees more material in the upper parts of the container.
Reset the stretching calibration if necessary to obtain the desired material distribution.
- High blowing pressure:

Usually, high pressure air is introduced through the blowing nozzle, 30 – 40 bars, and it is adjusted by means
of a high pressure reducing valve. High pressure should be regularly controlled in order to guarantee a constant
air supply to the blowing mould.
HIGH PRESSURE BLOWING KEY POINTS:
. Late blowing start > More material towards the base>Too late > Base folds.
. Soon blowing start > More material in the upper part >Too soon > Misaligned openings

LUBRICATION THE MACHINE
9.2.1
CENTRALISED LUBRICATION
In order to lubricate the movable parts of the machine, the automatic, pump-actuated lubricating system has
been implemented; it guarantees a minimum intermittent flow to the lubrication points by means of distributors.
The lubricant (grease) is propelled by an “engine-pump” unit and then transferred to the distributors through a
main line. It goes from the distributors to the different lubrication points through different ducts.
9.2.2
LUBRICATION PUMP
It is placed in an accessible part of the mould-blowing machine, behind a door.
The pump consists of different parts, it is provided with a deposit to store the grease. The deposit is on the
upper part of the unit.
The pump has two alarms: absence of lubrication pressure and low level of grease.
The former informs us that the circuit does not have enough pressure, which means that we are not lubricating
the movable parts correctly. The latter informs us that the grease level in the deposit is below the minimum
level and we will have to refill it. Both alarms are visualised on the screen.
In order to refill the pump it is necessary to have a fast plug connector, which is supplied with the blowing
machine. This connector and the filling pump introduce the grease in the deposit. It is essential to use this type
of pumps in order to guarantee that not oil gets into the deposit.

TMS 5001
REPLACING THE STRETCHING BELT
This element, under correct operation conditions, should not show signs of wear and it should
not be necessary to tighten the belts during its useful life.
Special attention should be paid during uncontrolled stops. The stretching might remain in up
position with preforms in the mould. Should this happen, the belt might be damaged as when
the preforms cool down they may clamp the stretching rods and hinder the movement of the
whole system.
An excessive stretching of the belts might result in belt tearing. If the belt is not sufficiently
stretched, the cogs might be torn out.
The steps that must be followed to replace the stretching belt have been included next.
Below are the steps for replacing the stretch belt.
1. In this order, loosen the tensioner pulley shaft M24 (x1), and the M16 tensioning screws (x3)
2. Check whether the belt has loosened.
3. Remove clamp fixing bolts (M8x8) and belt clamps.
Page 99 of 106
TMS 5001
4. Remove the belt pulling from the engine pulley area. Replace by a belt of the same length taking into
account the pulley circuit.
5. Place belt and fixing clamps. Tighten the screws progressively at 20Nm by cross-clamping (both clamps).
6. Tighten stretching screws as shown in the picture until reaching the adequate tension. Do not stretch
excessively or leave the belt loose. Holding the rod support on one end, check whether the belt can move 10
– 15 mm with your hand on the central part.
7. Tighten the M16 12.9 quality fastening nuts and screws (x3) to 105Nm. Screw M24 screw should be
tightened to 25 Nm.

inspection.
The elements in this blower assembly subject to wear are those subjected to movement of the cannula. These
are shown in the following figure in red and green.
Before manipulating the cylinder,

make sure the system voltage has
been cut off and there is no air
pressure. Let air out.
Page 101 of 106

TMS 5001
1. Remove supply hoses of the two blowerunits. Then dismantle their electrical connections.
2. Push with your hand in the direction of the arrow so that the shaft moves downwards.
3. Loosen the nozzle and remove it. Then, remove the screws and remove the cylinder.
Page 102 of 106

TMS 5001
4. Replace the seals, bushing guides and scraper. Place the seal in the same position.
5. Reassemble the parts in reverse order.
6. Below are details on how to adjust the height of the airtight cylinder.
For this purpose air pressure and electricity must be connected.
7. Place a preform in the nozzle and in manual, close the mould.
8. Actuate the cylinder (using the screen) check that the nylon cap does
not jam (it can rotate). If it does, further loosen the adjusting nut.
9. Tighten the adjusting screw locknut until the nylon cap hits the
cylinder, and then tighten the jam nut.
10. Now the impervious cylinder is adjusted. To check whether it has been correctly adjusted, place new
preforms in again, close the mould and activate the impervious cylinder 2-3 times.
Remove the preforms and check whether they are OK, making sure the wing is not deformed.

TMS 5001
9.3.6
Checking the tension of the lift belt
1. Stretch the belt from the support structure.

2. Check that the distance is h= 10/30 mm for a correct tension. See Figure 1.
NB.: High ambient temperatures will affect the tension of the belt. Therefore, in places where the temperature
might affect the belt, its tension must be checked strictly and regularly.
9.3.10
Adjusting the alignment of and tightening the lift belt
Perform the following steps to correctly centre the belt:

1. Completely empty the hopper.
2. Centre the belt on the upper roller, by visual inspection, leaving each side the same distance from
the metal plates. See Figure 2.
3. Start the operation of the belt manually. To do so, access the machine screen menu, as follows:
i) Manual
ii) Load
iii) Preform lift belt  100%
iv) ON / Belt in operation
4. View the lower roller while it is working  observe whether it is centred or if it moves. See Figure 3.
5. If the belt is not centred, tighten the roller on the same side towards which the belt tends to move, in
order to move it in the opposite direction. See Figure 4.
Perform the following steps:
i) Loosen the locknut.
ii) Tighten the belt by tightening the screw (this will lower the height of the roller).
6. Once the belt has been centred on the lower roller, check the position of the belt on the upper roller
once more. If it is not centred, readjust it by repeating the steps of the procedure.
NB.: After centring, check that the belt is stabilised. Perform visual checks every hour during the first four
hours after performing the procedure.
