The Process Pilot® automated blowmolder control system is a combination of software and hardware interface components that work in conjunction with the Pilot Profiler™ measurement system to provide a hands-free means to maintain the blowmolding process. The Process Pilot control system utilizes feedback from the Pilot Profiler™ system to continually monitor material distribution and automatically adjust blowmolder settings to maintain optimal bottle distribution characteristics, without operator intervention. The Process Pilot system eliminates time-consuming manual steps in the blowmolding management process, resulting in reduced process variability and improved bottle performance and quality.

“The Process Pilot system can control the blowmolder process to a level of precision unmatched by methods that rely on limited feedback from weight-based data.”

The Process Pilot automated blowmolder control system offers more effective management of common blowmolder issues such as:

Preform variability
Startup transients
Environmental changes
Operator experience
Overall more consistent blowmolder operation
Reduced process and environmental variability
Improved ability to light weight
Improved overall bottle quality and performance
Reduced rejects and scrap
Features

Easy to use, “set and go” style operation
Adjustable process control limits
Built-in alarms and controls to protect the blowmolder
Simultaneous management of multiple parameters including oven lamps, pressure, preform temperature and timing
Compatible with all major brand blowmolders
Seamless integration with Agr Pilot Profiler™ distribution monitoring systems and Pilot Vision inspection system
