Needle Actuator for
Bottle Blow Molding
PHD Series BCN Needle Actuators ML# 305825
BENEFITS
■ Direct replacement for Graham Wheel
®
continuous extrusion
blow molding needle actuators.
■ Direct replacement for Bimba
®
D-1871-A needle actuator.
■ Provides significantly longer life (tested over 20 million
cycles) and reduces maintenance and downtime.
■ Internal needle orientation stud provides anti-rotational
movement and allows the needle to be infinitely adjustable
without increasing package length.
■ Unique modular design provides a variety of design
configurations without sacrificing delivery and price.
■ Male rod ends have piloted ends to reduce concentricity
issues with attached needles.
■ Local/Worldwide Sales, Service, and Support
■ Consult PHD for other custom needle cylinders and blow
molding actuators to meet your automation requirements.
