196x343 Mold Shell for KHS

For a procurement professional in the beverage industry, the cost of a spare part is only half the story. The real value is in the protection that part offers to your more expensive assets. The 196x343mm mould shell is a prime example. It serves to protect the molds. If the shell fails to maintain its rigidity, the blowmoldswill wear out prematurely, leading to much higher replacement costs down the line. BJY’s 196x343 shells are designed to be the ultimate protector. By using imported, solid aluminum rods, we provide a carrier that has the thermal and mechanical mass needed to stabilize the blowing station.

Since 2011, BJY has been analyzing the failure points of original and aftermarket shells. We’ve found that casted aluminum is simply too porous for the high-pressure environment of a modern KHS carousel. Our solution is to mill each 196x343 shell from a single block of metal. This ensures that the structural integrity of the shell remains constant, preventing the minute warping that leads to mechanical loss between the mould halves. It is a straightforward, engineering-led approach that focuses on durability and fit above all else.
