ABSTRACT
Information about the utilities required is readily available from machine builder. Usually the builder will call to verify that all utilities are hooked up to the machine and that the machine is ready for start-up. Once it has been determined where the machine is to be located, can specify the operator position. It is absolutely necessary to be advised of the weight of each subcomponent of the blow molding unit. Stairs are provided for access to the upper level of the equipment. It is important to locate the stairs so that access is safe and so that they do not interfere with production functions. In considering the machine layout, it is important to identify the means of mounting molds. It is best to locate the main air valves as close as possible to the inlet of the parison. Like the air valves, it is best to locate the hydraulic valves near the actual function they control.
