1. OBJECT

Establish the steps to follow to carry out the preparations and mold changes in the shortest possible time,
complying at least with the standards established for each assembly.

SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES.

 Optimize equipment setup times.


 Better coordinate the processes in each step of the enlistment.
 Minimize unnecessary work of the people responsible for the preparation.
 Obtain accurate real-time information and readiness observations.

2. REACH

For the blowing production process where stoppages are required to change references.

3. DEFINITIONS

Preparation: It is a conditioning or preparation of equipment, for the change of product references in the
machine, as well as a set of accessories that are required for the product to meet the specifications and
quality parameters.

4. PROCEDURE

Enlistment is divided into two: External and internal to the team

4.1. External Procedure

It is one that is carried out outside the machine and consists of preparing everything necessary in
advance, before stopping the equipment or machine in which the Setup is going to be carried out.

This procedure must be carried out synchronously, by those responsible for each area involved in the
preparation (Processes, Workshop, Mixing, Quality and Production), previously complying with the Pre-
readyment procedure if required.

Blow Pre-Ready Leader

The blow pre-enlistment leader is the main coordinator of the enlistment and is the person in charge of
determining the time of the start of the Enlistment.

For a successful and efficient future preparation, the pre-readiness leader, together with the Production
supervisor, requests in advance the person responsible for each area (Process Mechanic, Quality
Analyst, Mixer and Production Assistant) to complete the forms. belonging.

At the same time, the pre-readiness leader must deliver to the person responsible for the change the
check list corresponding to the production assembly of the product to determine the execution times and
that it meets what is required when the preparation is to begin.

Pre-enlistment mechanic

You must have the mold ready with all the corresponding tooling (pins, blowers, nozzle and core, ejector
plate, cooling connectors, etc.), previously delivered and complying with everything required.

The Process Mechanic

You must have the head, spindle, neck, filters, etc., necessary for the preparation that begins, ready,
according to the information provided.

4.2 Internal Procedure

This is carried out directly on the equipment that is going to be stopped, and is carried out by the Process
Mechanic.

The setup time begins from the moment the last unit of the finalized production order leaves and ends
when the first unit of the new production order is approved.

The setup time must be equal to or less than the Standard Setup Times for Blowing and Injection.

With all the information collected in the forms and records, the pre-readiness leader provides it to the
mold pre-readiness personnel for their respective analysis:

5.1 Verify the center distance of the current molds.

Note : The distances between centers may vary between the molds, currently the distances that the
tecnoplast molds have are 60mm, 85 mm, 100 mm, 125 mm, 140 mm for double molds. For triple and
quadruple molds from 95 mm, 110 mm and 125 mm.

Note: Tighten all the screw joints in a cross pattern several times with a gradual increase in the turning
moment. For this procedure, you must use an open-end wrench. For small Bekum and Uniloy equipment,
use a 24 mm wrench, a #14 Bekum blower. Uses a 27 mm wrench and Magic and Pavan Zanetti
equipment with a 30 mm wrench.

This procedure must be in two stages. The first stage is to adjust the nuts when cold when the machine is
in gear. The second stage consists of giving final adjustment to the nuts with a temperature of 120°C.

to verify that the bell and nozzle have a centering distribution of the pieces and improve parison
centering times.

This sequence of first mounting the head or tooling is to reduce waiting times while the heating reaches
the programmed schedule.

5.5 Molds
Before assembling the molds, they must be verified in the mold pre-readiness area by the process
mechanic or the person in charge of assembling the molds.

 Keep in mind the delivery date of the molds


 The condition of the edges of the molds must be checked, ensuring that they do not have any
bumps, carvings or dented edges.
 Check that the gas outlets are clean.
 Check the condition of the cavity (neck, body and bottom), inspect the type of sandblasting of the
mold and/or the finish required.

wrench. When positioning the tip, it must have Teflon tape on its thread to improve coupling and prevent
water leaks.

Note: These measures are essential since they guarantee that the mold does not suffer any damage
during its process or that the product comes out with poor shape.

 The mold fixing holes must be verified to coincide with the standard perforations that the centers
have in the mold holder plates, so that the molds are well centered and secured.

Note: The molds that are assembled on the Pavan machines have fastenings for 10.0 mm screws, for
small molds the fastenings are with 8.0 mm screws, the screws must have washers according to the size
of the screw.

6.1 Mold Assembly.


 Check if the mold has an eye bolt perforation to be manipulated with a differential.
 Preferably, assembly should be carried out by two people.
 The assembly must be carried out on one face of the mold (the face of the mold where the guides
are located)
 This face must be initially secured with the clamping screws without applying the full tightening
torque.
 The parallelism of the mold must be verified with a level of precision.
 With the parallelism of the mold already guaranteed, the final torque of the screws is performed,
