The current portfolio of KOSME Austria's rotary blow molders includes two machine types: the XR(G) and the XR(G)s. While both machines share a fundamentally similar and compact design, the new machine generation is split into two distinct platform sizes to optimize output relative to the machines base space.

The XR(G)s features the small platform, designed for configurations with 3, 4, or 5 cavities.

The XR(G) platform accommodates larger setups with 6 or 8 cavities.

The maximum output range of the new machine generation reaches from 7500 bottles per hour for the 3XRs to 20000 bottles per hour for the biggest machine in the range, the 8XR.

Both platforms offer an optional large container configuration, called XRG &XRGs, enabling the production of containers up to 10 liters (2.64 gallons) – 4 liters (1.05 gallons) in their standard versions. For the large container option, the output ranges from 3600 bottles per hour (3XRs) to 9600 bottles per hour (8XR).

The Modular Mould Concept MTR is engineered to enable swift and effortless mould changes, providing the flexibility needed to adapt to ever-changing market demands. By employing the MTR mold design concept, machine downtime is drastically minimized thanks to rapid changeovers. The toolless version allows for a mold changeover time of approximately one minute, requiring only a single operator.

Sustainability is enhanced across the board with the Air Wizard Plus system, now included as a standard feature on all rotary machines. This system significantly reduces air consumption by recycling air used in the blowing phase for underlying processes.

The machines also feature an electrical servo-driven mechanical stretching mechanism, allowing for variable-speed stretching of heated preforms. This ensures optimal preparation and blowing results while further reducing the need for compressed air.

To further improve energy efficiency, ceramic reflectors are used in the heating process to reduce energy loss.

Additionally, the preferential heating option enables non-uniform heating of preforms. By applying a defined heat gradient along the circumference of the preforms, a 1:1.5 axial length ratio is achieved, resulting in superior performance when producing oval or asymmetrical bottles.
