Such advice, for example how to set up blow
molding machines, is not equipment specific and
therefore ColorMatrix would always recommend
using local or expert technicians in addition to
following best practice points listed below;
• Preforms should be conditioned for minimum
24 hours prior to blowing
• Preforms should always be used in a FIFO
manner (First In, First Out)
• Octabins of preforms should be segregated and
blown per resin type, i.e. not mixed with other
resins
• A preform traceability system should be in
place such that any process upsets can be
quickly followed up and corrected
• Enhanced QC preform checking resources
for bottle distribution, aesthetics and integrity
should be on-hand during the performance
optimization trials
• Prior to any process optimization, the blowing
machine performance should be verified as
being within normal i.e. accepted standard
ranges and all important components and
control features are working satisfactorily.
Maximum speed output should be attainable
prior to any ‘recipe’ setting trials

Set up conditions
Configuration
- When starting to process a new resin, first
run through new preforms for 15 minutes at
‘standard’ conditions to establish steady state
conditions prior to any process optimization
- Slowly start to reduce preform blowing
temperatures until failures are present
(visible pearl internal wall or pearl feet)
- Increase blowing temperatures until defects
are eliminated
- QC check bottle quality for acceptance versus
established tolerances
- Change the power consumption profile in the
ovens for early heat and longer sink times but
ensure overall temperatures do not exceed cold
crystallization temperature
- Repeat temperature reduction stage and
then defect elimination stage to test if further
optimization is possible
- Recheck QC bottle quality for acceptance versus
established tolerances
- Log all process parameters and create new
specific ‘recipe’ for future use
