Heye Multilevel Safety Concept

PROTECTION GRID

• A specifically developed protection grid, integrated in the machine control, ensures extra safety on the blank side.
• In order to perform the lubrication program of the blanks, the operater pushes the corresponding button, the section is moved into rest position, the grid is lowered and access to the blanks is provided. After the lubrication process is completed, the operator confirms the corresponding button, the grid goes back up and the section goes into operation again.

DEAD PLATE MONITORING

• On the blow side, an infrared sensor monitors the dead plate position for each cavity over the whole cycle of a section.
• In the event of abnormal heat radiation due to glass handling failures or demoulding, the following gobs for the section will be rejected.

VALVE BLOCK CONCEPT

• Ergonomic design
• Coverings protect the equipment from dirt.
• Possibility to integrate the Heye Safety Snap Valve into each line to avoid unintended motion of the equipment during maintenance or repair.

SIX CYCLE CENTRAL LUBRICATION

• Most efficient usage of oil by intelligent six cycle central lubrication system and new injector generation.

The results:

• Less oil consumption
• Higher cleanliness of the machine
• Reduced risk of fire

CLEAN DESIGN

Employees and equipment both are protected by

• integrated cable channels,
• specific protection hoods,
• comfortable maintenance access.

TOOLS & DEVICES

Increased protection and faciliation of everyday work by

• blow side heat protection ladder 
• blank side lifting device

AUTOMATION BY SWABBING ROBOT

• Swabbing without container losses or section stops.
• High safety and process repeatability.
• 75 % savings on lubrication.

• Total forming control for blank and blow side
• A clear and clean design of the equipment
• Useful tools and working instruments
• Additional protection devices coupled with sophisticated workflows
