4.3 Operation
4.3.1 High pressure air supply interface panel
BDM-006
The characteristics of the air and fluid supplies are described in the "Presentation Manual".
The general interface panel has been designed for air which satisfies the required characteristics.
The general interface panel has been dimensioned to preserve the characteristics of the air as it enters the
machine until its final use.
The local air supply must maintain both the flowrate and a constant pressure of 40 bar minimum.
For certain simple production processes the pressure required may be lower (to 35 bar). Consult "Sidel" to
determine the real minimum pressure.

The general high pressure air interface panel regulates and filters air before it is supplied to the machine.
– The manual control valve (1) opens and closes the circuit before regulation.
© SIDEL

Lock the manual valve (1) in the closed position before attempting any work on the high pressure air circuit.
– The safety valve (2) releases the air via the silencer (3) if there is excess pressure (50 bar) before regulation.
– The pressure switch (4) along with the indicator at the PCC inform the plc of the pressure in the circuit before
regulation.
– The pressure gauge (5) indicates the pressure in the circuit before regulation.
– The filter (6) retains undesirable particles down to 1 µm (99,999%) and 0,01 µm (99,9%).
– The indicator (7) indicates the level of saturation in the filter (6).
– The automatic purge (8) clears condensates which have accumulated in the filter (6).
– The plc controls the regulator (9). The regulator (9) adjusts the service pressure.
The regulator (9) is set up at the PCC, see procedure "BCU-002.
– The safety valve (10) releases the pressure in the circuit via the silencer (11) if there is excess pressure (42 bar)
after regulation.
– The pressure gauge (12) indicates the pressure in the circuit after regulation.
– The pressure switch (13), fitted with a PCC indicator, controls the pressure in the circuit after regulation.
– The pneumatically controlled purge valve (14) opens and closes the circuit after regulation. The regulator (9) pilots
the purge valve (14).
Closing the manual valve (1) will cause the air in the machine circuit to be released via the silencer (15) on the
pneumatically controlled purge valve (14).

4.3.2 Preblow, blow and service air system

High pressure
Preblow pressure
– The rotary union (1) provides the pneumatic interface (high and low pressure) between the rotary and fixed sections
of the blow wheel.
– The distributer (2) supplies blowing air, preblowing air and service air to the blowing stations.
– The release valve (3) reduces the blowing pressure down to preblowing pressure and supplies the reserve (4). The
pressure release valve (3) is connected to a regulator valve (5). The plc controls the regulator (5).
The regulator valve (5) is adjusted at the PCC, see procedure "BPU-012.
– The reserve (4) supplies the air capacity required for preblowing the products.
– The safety valve (6) releases the air from the preblowing circuit (via the silencer (7)) if there is excess pressure
after regulation.
– The pressure gauge (8) (not shown) indicates the preblow pressure.

6 bar air (released from the 8 bar)
circuit)
5 bar air (start up or regulation) or 6 bar air (in
High pressure air inlet (rotary union)

Machine start up activates only the low pressure air system. The low pressure air distributer (1) (on the rotary air union)
supplies the piloting system for the "TORNADO" solenoid valves (2) via the (5 bar) pressure regulator (3) and the
selector (4).
The authorization for preform feeding activates the high pressure circuit. The distributer (5) feeds the "TORNADO"
solenoid valve (2) pilot system via the (8 bar) pressure release valve (6), the pressure regulator (7) and the selector
(4).
The difference in pressure between the 2 pressure regulators (3 ; 7)(5 bar & 6 bar) will cause a change in the air circuit
at the selector (4).
Conclusion:
– When the machine starts up, the "TORNADO" solenoid valves (2) are piloted by air (5 bar) taken from the machine
low pressure circuit.
– In production, the "TORNADO" solenoid valves (2) are piloted by air (6 bar) taken from the high pressure circuit.
When the machine is in setting mode, the "*TORNADO" solenoid valves (2) are piloted by the air (5 bar) taken
from the machine low pressure circuit.
Required pressures:
– The pressure regulator (3) should be set to 5 bar (+0,1 / -0,2).

BRM-004 , BRM-005 , BRM-006 , BRM-007
The synchronization of the rotating parts with regard to the blow wheel determines the transport and the quality of the
items being produced.

© SIDEL


Good synchronization is a key factor for good production.
The synchronization of the machine is broken down into the following:

– synchronization of the preform transfer wheel with the blow wheel,
– synchronization of the bottle transfer wheel with the blow wheel,
– synchronization of the oven wheel with the preform transfer wheel.
– synchronization of the infeed wheel with the oven wheel.
There is a fine setting system fitted to each shaft involved with the transfer of items:
– setting system (1) on the infeed wheel shaft,
– setting system (2) on the oven wheel shaft,
– setting system (3) on the prefrom and bottle transfer wheel shafts.
Always follow the written procedures when working on the synchronization adjustment systems (1 ; 2 ; 3).
8.3.5 Belts
BRM-008
The belts, which have been specially designed for SIDEL, ensure the transmission of specific efforts around the
machine.
Always replace belts with other SIDEL belts.
The correct tension on the belts depends on the following:

– machine synchronization,
– uniform movements,
– the service life of the belts and the bearings.
The maintenance schedule indicates the frequency with which the tensions should be checked.
Always respect the maintenance schedule.
8.3.6 Drive gears and rings

9.3.1.1 The hopper

The hopper (1) receives the preforms in bulk and constitutes a buffer stock to prevent any interruption to production
due to lack of preforms. The hopper (1) is fitted with a fall cushioner (2) which clears the conveyor belt of the batch of
stored preforms.

The conveyor belt (3) operates in both directions and ensures two functions:
– the transport of preforms to the clearance chute (5),
– the continuous clearance of the hopper (1) into a recovery bin by the transport of preforms through the clearance
gate (4) along with an external mobile conveyor (13) (optional).
The speed of the belt (3) can be adjusted at the PCC.
The "B72.2"(9) and "B72.3"(10) sensors monitor the low and half-full levels of the hopper (1).
If the "B72.2" sensor (9) detects a low level of preforms in the hopper a fault will be displayed at the PCC.
When the low level has been reached production may be interrrupted due to lack of preforms.
If the hopper is filled by a tipper or manually, the sensor "B72.3"(10) determines the minimum level of preforms
required before filling starts.
If the hopper is filled by a conveyor, the sensor "B72.3"(10) determines the maximum level of preforms required before
the conveyor stops.
The height of the "B72.3" sensor (10) can be adjusted according to the number of preforms required.
The "B78.3" sensor (11) indicates to the plc the presence of preforms in the clearance chute (5), if:
– No preforms, the plc starts the conveyor belt (3).
– Presence of preforms, the plc stops the conveyor belt (3).
9.3.1.2 The elevator column
The elevator column (6) takes small batches of preforms from the hopper (1) to the unscrambler rollers (14) using a
ribbed belt (7) and the head chute (8).
© SIDEL

SBO Universal 8/10

9.3.2 Unscrambler roller assembly

The unscrambler rollers :
– turn the preforms neck-up and align them as they fall off the elevator column (1),
– eject all non-aligned preforms onto the recovery belt (2),
– regulate the flow of preforms through the rollers to prevent an absence of preforms on the infeed rail.
© SIDEL


Preform alignment
The cheek-plates (5) receive the preforms from the elevator column (1) befroe they are aligned in the unscrambler
rollers (3).
The preforms are turned neck-up as they arrive into the rollers (3).
The inclination and rotation of the rollers (3) turn the preforms neck-upwards.
The wire-guides (4) give a better vertical alignment of the preforms before they feed onto the infeed rail.
Ejection and recovery of non-aligned preforms
Preforms which have not been aligned by the unscrambler rollers (3)/wire-guides (4) either fall or are ejected by the
unscrambler (6) onto the recovery belt (2) before they arrive at the infeed rail.
According to how the equipment is set up, the belt (2) takes the preforms to:
– the recovery chute (7) which directs them to the hopper outlet chute (8),
– the recovery conveyor (22) for the mini-hopper (21) (option) which transports the preforms into the mini-hopper (21)
(option).
© SIDEL

SBO Universal 8/10
Preform flow regulation

The plc regulates the flow of the preforms using the following sensors:
– the "B102.1 (D1)" sensor (9) prevents blockages above the unscrambler rollers (3) by stopping the rotation of the
rollers (3) and the movement of the elevator column (1),
– the "B102.0 (D3)" sensor (10) controls the presence of preforms on the stabilization rail (11) by increasing or
decreasing the speed of the rollers (3) and the elevator column (1) to prevent preforms backing up,
– the "B103.3 (D4)" sensor (12) monitors the presence of preforms on the stabilization rail.
If the "B103.3 (D4)" sensor (12) is not occluded while the "B102.0 (D3)" sensor (10) is occluded, the plc starts
the rollers (3) and the elevator (1).
The "B105.0 (D5)" sensor (13) has 2 functions:
– counting the number of preforms passing on the stabilization rail,
– monitoring the flow of preforms.
Ejection of blocked preforms
To avoid preform blockages on the infeed rail, preforms which are stuck inside each other are ejected as they pass
onto the stabilization rail.
© SIDEL


When preforms arrive joined on the infeed rail, the "B102.2" sensor (14) detects the change in position of the probe
(15) up against the neck of the incorrectly positioned preform.
The control solenoid (16) stops the preforms above this position and ejects the faulty preforms.
The stop-pin (17), which is activated by a pneumatic actuator (18), stops the preforms stops the preforms upstream
and then the rail (19), activated by the actuator (20), retracts allowing the joined preforms to drop onto the recovery
belt (2).
When the preforms are ejected, the probe (15) returns to its original position followed by the rail (19) and the stop-pin
(17).
Preform feeding recommences.
The control solenoid is fed by the machine's low pressure air circuit.
9.3.3 Infeed rail

The aligned preforms pass onto the infeed rail (1) from the upstream feed block (2) which then takes them down to
the downstream infeed block and the entrance to the machine.
© SIDEL

SBO Universal 8/10

The preforms are held by their neck-rings between the 2 adjustable guides (1) and drop down the infeed rail (1).
The "B10.5" low level (3) and "B10.6" high level (4) sensors control the level of preforms on the infeed rail and also
the loading of preforms into the machine:
– when the level of preforms is lower than the "B10.6" (4) the plc will start the hopper, elevator and unscrambler
rollers,
– when the "B10.5" (3) and "B10.6" (4) are occluded by preforms, feeding onto the loadng wheel starts or restarts,
– when the "B10.5" (3) is not occluded by preforms, loading is stopped at the downstream infeed block until
"B10.5"(3) and "B10.6"(4) are once more occluded.

Operator Manual / Preform loading/off-loading Part II
The fork (6), pressing on the spindle sprocket (3), brings the spindle shaft (2) and the spindle tip (1) down. The spindle
tip (1) enters the neck of the preform.

If there is excess stress during preform loading, the sensor "B32.0"(10) detects the abnormal position of the fork
(6). The sensor "B10.4"(11) informs the plc of the position of the outer roller (12) and synchronizes the actions of the
cams (13). The plc activates the ejection cams (13). The 3 guide rollers (12 ; 14) roll along the ejection cams (13).
The rising movement of the 3 forks (6) retracts the spindle tips (1) into the ejectors (4). The misloaded preform is
ejected. In order to ensure that the misloaded preform is ejected, 3 preforms must also be ejected. An airjet (15)
ensures that the ejected preforms are fully cleared.

11.3.2 Preform off-loading

The control roller (7) for the control shaft (5) rolls along the cam (9). The control roller (7) rises and the compression
spring (8) compresses. The control shaft (5) raises the fork (6) and the spindle sprocket (3).

12.3 Operation

The oven wheel (7) drives the spindle chain. After preform loading, the roller (5) rolls along the turnover ramp (6)
causing the spindle link (1), and thus the preforms, to rotate. At the ramp outlet (6), the rollers (5) roll along the oven
cam tracks (9). The sprockets (4), which are fixed on the spindle shafts (3), engage on the fixed chains (10) in the
oven. The spindle shafts (3) rotate the preforms as they are transported through the oven.

The fluidity of the preform transport through the oven depends on the correct setting of the tension of the spindle
chain. The tension of the spindle chain is determined by the compression spring (11) on the tensioner wheel (8) slide
(12).
At the oven outlet, a second turnover ramp (6) rotates the spindle links (1), the preforms are now ready to be off-
loaded.
The sensor "B32.3"(13) detects the reference screw (14) fixed on the spindle link n°1 and initializes a counter each
time it passes through the oven.

13.3 Operation
13.3.1 Heating

The spindles (9) introduce the up-turned preforms into the oven. Each preform rotates 2 times on its spindle (9) in front
of each heating module (10).

The power regulators (8) control each heating module (10) independently (10). Each box is fitted with a power
controller which, depending on the setting at the PCC, sends an instruction to the infrared lamps (1).
The heating modules (10) are composed of infrared lamps (1) and heat the preforms to the temperature required for
the production set up. The reflectors (2 ; 3) optimize the heating effect. The position of the infrared lamps (1)
(advanced or center) is adjusted according to the production set up.
The infrared lamps (1) are located near the cooling shields (6) and are sometimes fitted with quartz bars
(13). The quartz bars both concentrate the infrared rays and protect the preform necks from them.
The sensor (11) at the oven outfeed reads the temperatures of the preform bodies and sends this information to the
heating regulation system. Preforms at a temperature which exceeds tolerance limits will be ejected at the preform
transfer
When the machine is started, the preforms will begin feeding only once the oven has reached the production
temperature (as defined in the production set up). The sensor (12) (not visible) informs the plc which starts
feeding.
13.3.2 Cooling - ventilation
The cooling shields (6) are cooled by water and protect the preform necks during heating.

5 Transfer arm 10 Personnel protection device
15.3 Operation

The transfer arm (5) is fixed on the transfer wheel (11). The rotation of the pivot pin (12) changes the gap between the
cap (13) and the arm support (14) and thus the height of the transfer grip (15).
The movement of the rollers (16) along the speed cam (17) controls the rotation of the arm support (14) around the
pin (12). The rotation of the arm support (14) controls the variations in speed at the grip (15).
The linear guide system (18) controls the translation movement of the grip support (19) with regard to the arm support
(14). The spring (20) holds the grip support (19) roller (21) on the position cam (22). The movement of the roller (21)
on the cam (22) positions the grip (15).
The sensors "B31.2" and "B30.3"(24) continuously check the movement of the rollers (21). Any abnormality will cause
a critical machine stoppage.

The combination of the 2 movements (rotation and translation) ensures a reduction in the speed and positioning of the
grips (15) at the meeting points.
The grip (15) turns on its support shaft and is held closed by the spring (23). The profile of the grip (15) is specifc to
© SIDEL
the bottle being produced. Each time a bottle is seized (from the oven or the mold) the grip (15) closes on the neck of
the bottle. Each time a bottle is released, either to the bottle outfeed or the mold, the grip releases the bottle neck.

Operator Manual / Transfer arm and turntable
In order to limit scratch marks on the hot preform necks, the width of the preform transfer arms (15) is greater
than that of the bottle transfer arms.
A safety guide (25) protects the infeed wheel and the oven wheel parts if any of the transfer arm springs (10) breaks.
If necessary (critical stop, test, malfunction etc.), the retractable ejector (26) releases the bottles from the grips (15)
towards the recovery bins (9).

The chutes (7) from the recovery carriage (8) direct the ejected preforms or bottles to the recovery bins (9). The
recovery carriage (8) also receives preforms ejected from the infeed wheel. The lower doors (27) open to the recovery
bins (9) fitted on the recovery carriage (8). The protective grills (28) tilt to allow the removal of the recovery bins (9)
and prevent preforms or bottles falling in to the recovery cart (8). The doors (27), located at the front of the machine,
can be opened during production. The recovery bins (9) can be changed during production.

A safety sensor (29) monitors the position of the recovery carriage (8) in front of the transfer turntable. If the safety
sensor (29) detects movement of the the recovery carriage (8), the plc will stop the machine immediately. The holding
flanges (30) on the recovery carriage (8) allow the carriage to be removed from the machine. Removing the recovery
carriage (8) will give access to the transfer turntable. The presonnel protection device (10) prevents injury arising out
of contact with the transfer grips.

16.3.3 Operation
Closing
When the preform is dropped into the mold shell (6), the mold opening and closing roller (12) is guided by the mold
opening and closing cam (13), activating the lever (11), the control shaft (3) and the connecting rods (4).
The lever (11) is fixed on the control rod (3) by a safety coupling.
The connecting rod system (4) closes the support blocks (1 ; 2). The hydraulic damper (10) limits the impact during
closing. If the mold support unit encounters any obstruction during closing the "B12.3" sensor (14) detects movement
on the retractable cam (15). The plc registers this information and inhibits blowing (only blowing) in the blowing station
concerned. The corresponding fault is displayed at PCC.

If there is excess stress, the mold opening and closing lever (11) and the mold opening and closing roller (12) may
slide relative to the control rod (3). This abnormal position is detected by the lever (16) and the "B12.2" sensor
(17). The plc generates a critical stoppage and the corresponding fault is displayed on the PCC. Before restarting the
machine, reset the lever (16) and set the mold opening and closing lever (11) concerned, see procedure "BRM-001.

A permanent regulator (18) is fitted on the machine to set the mold opening and closing levers (11).
If the regulator (18) is in the up-position:

© SIDEL
– the "B12.7" sensor (19) indicates a fault at the plc,

SBO Universal 8/10
– the plc prevents the machine starting, see procedure "BRM-001.
Locking
The left support block (2) clamps against the right support block (1), forcing in the holding rod (20) on the locking
system (21). The holding rod (20) releases the locking pin (7). The locking shaft (7)/locking pin (8) assembly are
pressed by the spring (22) towards the locking position.
Make sure that the mold support unit is secured in the open position before attempting any work on it. see
procedure "BSU-001.

The locking roller (9) moves along the locking cam (23) and causes the locking pins (8) to drop down.
The locking pins (8) hold the 2 support blocks (1 ; 2) against each other during preblowing, blowing and exhaust.
If there is a mislock:
– The locking roller (9) retracts the counter-cam (24),
– the plc prevents production taking place on the blowing station concerned,
– the machine stops if the fault is repeated (this parameter can be set at the PCC).
The damper (26) prevents the thrust caulking when the retractable cam (24) returns to its position.
© SIDEL


Compensation
The shell support (5) is fixed on the left support block (2) using pins (27) fitted with elastic systems which move
slightly.
During the preblowing, blowing and exhaust phases, the compensation system injects air at the same pressure as that
inside the blown item into the area between the shell support (5) and the left support block (2). The compensation
system ensures that the 2 mold shells (6) are perfectly joined during the preblowing and blowing phases. The
compensation seal (28) ensures that the system is airtight.

For the piloted compensation system, the air is injected directly taken from the high pressure circuit. The
© SIDEL
compensation solenoid valves control the injection according to the instructions entered at the PCC PCC.

SBO Universal 8/10
Unlocking
After the blowing phase, the locking cam (29) and the locking roller (9) ensures that the locking shaft (7) raises.
The locking shaft (7) reaches the up-position, the holding shaft (20) is pushed by the spring (30) up against the locking
pin (7). The locking shaft (7)/locking pin (8) assembly is held in the up-position by the holding lock (21).

When the mold support unit opens, if the locking shaft (7) is not held (faulty lock):
– the "S30.2" sensor (31) indictaes to the plc that the locking pin is in the down-position (7),
– the machine stops immediately.
Opening
The mold opening and closing roller (12) moves along the mold opening and closing cam (13), moving the mold
opening and closing lever (11), the control rod (3) and the connecting rods (4) to move.
The connecting rod system (4) separates the 2 support blocks (1 ; 2).

3.1.6 Alarm messages

3.1.6.1 Types of alarm message
Alarm messages are indicated by the key (1) on the navigation and information bar (always visible). The alarm
message bar (2) in the "Welcome" family displays alarm messages which are color-coded according to type.
© SIDEL

There are 5 alarm levels:

– "Critical" alarms (red)stop the machine immediately,
– "Alert" alarms (orange) stop the machine progressively,
– "Information" alarms (green) inform the operator of the status of the machine,
– "Messages" (blue) provide information not requiring an alarm,
– "SPC" alarms (gray, optional) provide information on statistical anomalies or tendancies generated by the
production process.
The key (1) changes state with the apeparance of alarms or messages:
– Blue and static when there are no alarms or messages.
– Blue and moving when a message appears.
– Orange and moving when an alarm appears.
3.1.6.2 The alarms
The alarms provide information the status of the machine. Alarms may take the appearance of a fault.
There are 3 types of alarm:
– "Critical" alarms indicate an incident with a continuous siren and an alarm beacon. The machine stops
immediately.
– "Alert" alarms indicate an incident with an intermittent siren and an alarm beacon. The machine stops in 3 stages:
preform feeding stops, heating shuts down when the oven is empty, machine shuts down when all items have been
cleared.
Some faults may disappear when the alarm has been acknowledged.
– The information alarms indicate an incident with an intermittent alarm siren for 5 s. Information alarms do not stop
the machine.
The "messages" provide information on the progress of production. The "messages" do not set off the alarm siren or
beacon. The "messages" disappear automatically.
z Press the key (1) to determine the cause of the alarm.
The window (A) appears.

9 Anti-accumulation coefficient key
11 Correction coefficient for mini-hopper (option) conveyor belt
The correction (8 ; 11) and anti-accumulation (9) coefficients both affect the rate of acceleration and deceleration of
the elevator column and the unscrambler rollers in order to avoid having to regulate the flow of preforms by constantly
stopping and starting. The coefficients (8) and (9) determine the reaction speed to the requests emitted by the
regulating sensors. These coefficients are linked to the production speed and the type of preform and can be
determined by observing production in progress.
3.3.4 Preform feeder readings
Window (B) shows the following:
– the real unscrambler motor speed percentage (D),
– the real elevator column motor speed precentage (E),
– the hopper conveyor belt motor speed percentage (F),

3.10.1 Functions
The "SPC" family enables preventive detection of abnormal trends in the main production parameters and the machine
environment. The aim of SPC is to monitor all of the parameters that may directly affect the quality of the items being
manufactured.
© SIDEL
SPC in English stands for Statistical Process Control.

SBO Universal 8/10
SPC consists of using sensors to take periodic readings from process variables (temperature in the oven, preblowing
pressure etc.). These readings are subjected to statistical analysis to identify abnormal trends. When such a trend is
identified, the SPC family generates an alarm.
Readings are presented in the form of:
– statistical charts (control card),
– numerical indicators (capability),
– histogram or measurements in real time.
The SPC family displays the control cards.
SPC is only active when the machine is in production.

3.11 "Maintenance" family

3.11.1 General presentation
The "Maintenance" family manages all of the preventive maintenance operations that need to be carried out on the
machine. Operator-level users have read-only access.
When the machine is first started, the Maintenance family allows the supervisor to confirm all of the sub-assemblies
physically present on the machine which require preventive maintenance.
3.11.1.1 What is preventive maintenance?
Preventive maintenance consists of carrying out actions with the intention of reducing the possibility that a machine
component may malfunction.
Preventive maintenance is based on a list of operations prepared and scheduled to be completed before the probable
date of a malfunction.
© SIDEL
The objectives of preventive maintenance are as follows:

– increase machine reliability,

– reduce operating malfunctions,

– lengthen the effective service life of the equipment,
– improve the way in which works are organized,
– reduce and regulate the work load.
Preventive maintenance is composed of 2 stages:
– The first stage involves a periodic inspection of the condition of the machine components. These inspections
enable the collection of information which will establish laws for wear and tear as well as levels of tolerance.
– The second stage consists of enriching this basic data in the list of actions to improve the reliability of the frequency
of these actions. The second stage improves the operation of the machine.
3.11.1.2 Preventive maintenance as applied to the SBO UniversalTM machine

In the Maintenance family the machine is divided into X sections:
– preform feeder,
– oven,
– blow wheel,
– frame,
– control system.
Each section is sub-divided into functional assemblies based on broad operating principles.
Each assembly is divided into sub-assemblies which correspond to specific unitary parts on the machine.
A coding system identifies each sub-assembly on the machine.
The coding system is as follows:
– a 2-figure number for the category,
– a coded letter from A to Z for each of the assemblies in a category,
– a coded 3-figure number for each of the sub-assemblies.
Example 03D001:
– "Blow wheel" category: 03,
– "Blowing block" assembly: D,
– "Blowing solenoid valve" sub-assembly: 001.
The system is linked to a counter to which a period of time is attributed. A maintenance alarm appears when any of
the action frequencies is exceeded. The action frequency can be modified to improve the quality of the maintenance.
In the case of curative maintenance and on certain sub-assemblies this data can be entered by the user in order to
trace operations.
In the Maintenance family, the scrolling bar displays the list of actions to be carried out in real time.
3.11.2 Functions

Operator Manual / Setting up the machine for production
4 SETTING UP THE MACHINE FOR PRODUCTION

4.1 Presentation
The information in this chapter is intended for personnel who have been trained in setting up the machine for
production. This chapter contains certain recommendations but will not suffice alone for setting up production.
4.2 General methodology
The recommended methodology is as follows:
– become familiar with the preform drawings,
– ensure that the preforms conform to the drawings,
– become familiar with the specifications for the item to be produced,
– find a production set up with a preform/bottle profile similar to the new item to be produced,
Use the same settings to start the setting up process. If you cannot find a similar set-up, use the presettings
indicated in this chapter.
The settings indicated in this chapter are relatively broad. Only the experience of a machine setter will enable
these settings to be adjusted according to local factors and the condition of the machine.
– carry out trials and then make adjustments until the item produced satisfies the specifications,
– note down the parameters and the results obtained to keep a record of the setting up process followed.
4.3 Machine administration
The administrator is responsible for:
– the creation, modification and deletion of machine user accounts,
– the management of user levels and their access to functions within the PCC application.
4.4 Production process set-up tools

The machine is equipped with tools for which the main function is to assist you with setting up the machine for
production and production management.
The tools can be accessed through the "Options" family and are as follows:
– "Loading on X molds.
– "Sampling.
– "Item ejection.
– "Auxiliary equipment configuration" chapter (option).
– "Bottle check.
– "Automatic restart.
– "Forced loading.
– "Broken lamp inspection parameters.
– "Molds not locked inpsection parameters.
– "Ejection of cold preforms.

4.6.2 Heating setpoints

Heating setpoints are entered in the "Oven" family. Press the key corresponding to the setpoint to be modified in order
to enter a new value.
"Preform temperature" (1) setpoint
The "Preform temperature" setpoint is the setpoint for the temperature of preforms at the oven outfeed. The setpoint
must be between 90 and 120 °C.
Regulation is based on the "Preform temperature" setpoint. During trials take the temperature of the preforms
at the oven outfeed and adjust the setpoint value.
"Preform temperature" setpoint (2)
The "Loading temperature" setpoint is the temperature of the oven at which the plc authorizes preform feeding onto
the infeed wheel. The setpoint must be between 35 and 200 °C.
Pre-set value: 120 °C, see procedure "BPU-010.

© SIDEL

The "Loading temperature" setpoint is close to the oven temperature.

The temperature in the oven at the sensor varies according to the following:
– the number of lamps in service,
– the heating percentage at the lamps.
During the trials measure the temperature of the oven. Enter a setpoint instruction 5 to 10 °C lower than the
temperature of the oven.
"Production start" setpoint (3)
This is the heating percentage applied when the first preforms load onto the infeed wheel. The setpoint must be
between 70 and 100 %.
Pre-set value: 80-85 %.
During the trials, note the "Output percentage" (equal to the heating power percentage). Enter a setpoint
instruction of 1 to 2 % lower than the "Output percentage".
"Standby" setpoint (4)
This is the heating power percentage used when the oven is empty. The setpoint must be between 40 and 60 %.
Pre-set value: 40 %, see procedure "BPU-010.
This setting maintains the temperature in the oven when it is empty without damaging the equipment.
"Ventilation" setpoint (5)

This is the cooling ventilation percentage for the oven. The setpoint must be between 50 and 100 %.
"Correction frequency" parameter (6)

This is the number of preforms that pass in between each correction of the output percentage. The level is set between
40 and 100.
Pre-set value: 40 (this level corresponds to a correction every 10 s at a production rate of 14400 B/H).
This parameter is used to calculate regulation.
"Correction coefficient" (7)

This is the coefficient applied to the output percentage when correction takes place. The level is set between 0.1 and
1.
Pre-set value: 0,3.
"Regulation: Active/Inactive" (8)

When setting up the machine for production, deactivate regulation. Activate regulation for production.
"Immediate correction" (9)
The "Immediate correction" function continuously corrects the output percentage. "Immediate correction" accelerates
regulation.

1 GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

1.1 Safety recommendations
All setting up operations, repairs, maintenance and adjustments may only be carried out by qualified and
authorized personnel who must be familiar with the instruction manual, the precautions specified by SIDEL
and who must be equipped with all necessary safety and protective equipment.
Except for specific indications related to a procedure, before attempting any operations on the machine, make
sure that:
– the power supply has been shut off,
– the high and low pressure air lines have been purged and shut off,
– the water supply has been shut off,
– The PCC application is not in setting mode.
The machine doors are fitted with electrical safety devices. Opening any of these doors will stop the machine
immediately and vent the air systems. The doors prevent access to moving parts. Never by-pass or disable a
door electrical safety device in order to run the machine with an open door.
The key locked panels prevent access to moving parts. Only maintenance agents are authorized to open
these panels and they must take all precautions deemed necessary to avoid accidents.
The use of the JOG system is obligatory for all operations requiring the rotation of the machine. The technician
carrying out the operation must be in possession of the JOG control box throughout the entire intervention.
In exceptional cases where manual rotation is to be used, technicians must follow the general safety
precautions, please refer to chapter: "General safety precautions" chapter in the Presentation Manual.
Never rotate the blow wheel by pushing or pulling it.
Make sure that the mold support unit is secured in the open position before attempting any work on it, see
procedure "BSU-001.
Before carrying out any work on the open PCC make sure that you are familiar with the ESD (Electrostatic
Sensitive Device) directives.
Block manual rotation during the whole removal/refit operation on the machine, see procedure "BSU-002.
For all major maintenance operations, use the locking pin to prevent machine rotation. Activating this blocking
system prevents the machine from being rotated.
When maintenance on the top of the machine is required, you must use a certified safety harness.

Operator Manual / Maintenance guide
2 MAINTENANCE GUIDE
2.1 General recommendations
2.1.1 General information
Identify precisely which part(s) are malfunctioning before attempting any maintenance operations on the
machine.
The frequencies indicated for carrying out these opeations are provided as a simple guide. The frequencies
are calculated as follows:
– 24 machine service hours, (= 1 day).
– 125 machine service hours, (= 1 week).
– 250 machine service hours, (= 2 weeks).
– 500 machine service hours, (= 1 month).
– 1500 machine service hours, (= 3 months).
– 6000 machine service hours, (= 1 year).
– 18000 machine service hours, (= 3 years).
– 60000 machine service hours, (= 10 years).
In the general maintenance schedule, the lengths of time for each operation are based the time taken by one
technician carrying out that operation. The operations timings do not take into account:
– purging and draining pneumatic and hydraulic circuits,
– removing cover panels and opening doors,
– preparing tools.
The general maintenance schedule and the greasing schedule make reference to servicing procedure numbers.
Only procedures requiring a 4 or 5 maintenance level are not associated with a servicing procedure. To carry
out these operations you must contact the SIDEL After-Sales Department.
For all other operations not identified in the general maintenance schedule you should contact the SIDEL After-
Sales Department.
Respecting the recommended safety precautions, the procedures, the frequencies for the servicing
procedures and the materials requirements (oils, greases, tools etc.) will guarantee that your machine
functions at the best possible level. Non-respect of these recommendations may cause undue wear and tear
which may result in injury to the personnel working with the machine.
Initial and final condition of the machine
All servicing procedures (except operating procedures) assume that the machine has been correctly installed,
stopped normally (no faults) and has been connected to all required utilities (high and low pressure air, water,
electricity etc.). If this is not the case, you should first ensure that the machine meets these requirements. All
power supplies to the machine (except those required by and specified in the servicing procedure) must be
shut off.

When you have completed a procedure, always check the following
– that the area where the procedure has been carried out is clean,
– that no tools or foreign objects have been left behind,
– that the machine has been returned to production set up,
– that the machine does not pose any potential danger to the personnel and their surroundings.
2.1.2 Maintenance levels
2.1.2.1 Definitions of maintenance levels
The maintenance levels determine the complexity of the maintenance to be carried out according to the following:
– the difficulty of the operation,
– the difficulty in setting up or using the equipment required for the operation.
Interventions are classed in a rising order of technical complexity.
First level of maintenance (Level 1)
Simple actions carried out on parts which are easily and safely accessed and using equipment integrated with the
machine.
Second level of maintenance (Level 2)
Actions which follow simple procedures and/or use simple equipment (integrated with the machine or external) which
is easy to install and operate or requiring a specific qualification.
Personnel quailified when they have received training permitting them work safely on a unit which presents
certain risks. Personnel are qualified when they have been designated for the operation due to their specific
knowledge and aptitude.
Third level of maintenance (Level 3)
Operations which follow procedures and/or using equipment which is complex to install or operate.
Fourth level of maintenance (Level 4)
Operations which follow procedures requiring full knowledge of a specific technique or technology and/or the use of
specialized equipment.
Fifth level of maintenance (Level 5)
Operations which follow procedures requiring specific knowledge of techniques and technologies with specialized
processes and/or procedures.
By definition, these types of maintenance (renovation, reconstruction etc.) are carried out by the manufacturer
or by a specialist company. These procedures require equipment defined by the manufacturer and therefore
close to construction.

3 PRODUCTION ITEM CHANGES

3.1 Definitions of machine interventions
An item change corresponds to all of the interventions required to set up the machine for the production of a new
item. Each intervention is described in a procedure contained in the Servicing Procedure Catalog.
Mechancial operations (replacing "Custom" parts, adjustments to certain parts) are defined in chapter "Table of
mechanical procedures". The selection of the operations to be carried out depends on the new item to be
produced. The times indicated are based on one technician carrying out the operation.
This table does not take into account the time required for:
– purging and draining pneumatic and hydraulic circuits,
– removing cover panels and opening doors,
– preparing tools,
– inspection and greasing of certain parts,
– synchronization of certain parts as necessary.
These interventions, whether or not they need to be carried out, are defined in the chapter "Supplementary
interventions. Procedures for production process set-up refer back to procedures contained in the Servicing
Procedure Catalog.
Personnel must be familiar with and observe the:

– safety precautions,
– general recommendations.
3.1.1 Intervention selection procedure
Select the actions required according to the new item to be produced from chapters:
– Table of mechanical procedures".
– Supplementary interventions.
This list constitutes all of the actions required for the production of the new item.
The 3 cases defined in the "Mechancial Procedures Table" represent the majority of the variants possible
between the production of one item and another. For more specific cases or for confirmation of the operations
you need to carry out, contact SIDEL.
3.2 Table of mechanical procedures"
According to the differences between 2 productions, some actions may be required and others not, please
refer to chapter "Supplementary interventions.
