Specifically designed to fit most KronesŪ bottle blowing machines, the Series BCK Stretch Rod Cylinder provides significantly longer service life than the OEM unit, while reducing maintenance and downtime in stretch blow mold applications. 

 

Series BCK Benefits: 

  • Built-in shock pads absorb impact energy and eliminate metal-to-metal contact 
  • Rugged and lightweight aluminum alloy head 
  • Increased capacity cushion controls reduce field adjustment errors and maximize life 
  • Food grade lubricant throughout 
  • Retract cylinder speed is set at factory with fixed port orifice, no adjustment required 
  • Single pressure operation 
  • Field repairable

PHD's dedicated division, the Plastic Packaging Components (PPC) Group, focuses on blow molding of bottles and other plastic containers. These products are drop-in replacement solutions for SidelŪ and KronesŪ and other brand machines. Other specialized solutions include blow molding nozzle actuators, needle cylinders, eject slides, transfer arms, and more.

Washroom Solutions

 

Does your job include responsibility for maintaining, managing, or purchasing equipment for industrial or commercial laundry facilities? PHD has developed many devices that include some hard-to-find items used on many commercial machines. Manufacturers of machines like Braun, Ellis, Jensen, or Lavatec employ actuators that many times need repair or replacement. 

 

Cylinders with drop-in replacement convenience are just some of the components we've developed for this market. Rugged aluminum and stainless steel construction help provide long life with corrosion resistance built in.

 

The PHD Commercial Laundry brochure includes a laundry process flow diagram featuring many of the locations within a commercial laundry where PHD has developed solutions.

Do you operate and maintain JensenFuturail Conveyors? PHD offers a drop-in trunion mount cylinder specifically made for those lines. How about a Unipress Triple Buck system? We provide grippers and rotary actuators for their OEM devices. Jensen's Metricon Conveyor? We provide replacement stopper cylinders and discharge cylinders for that equipment. 

 

Look to PHD's Unlimited Unique Solutions group to assist you with a wide variety of linear, rotary, and gripping devices for any industry.
