DESIGNATION
ZONES
CAUSES
D1
Pearlescence, silver colour in the side part.
3
- Preform temperature too low at blowing
D2
Opalescence, crystallization commences.
2, 3, 4
- Preform temperature too high at blowing
D3
External folding of the base (button)
4
- Preform base not correctly heated - Pre-blowing pressure too low - Pre-blowing too late
4
-
D4
Internal folding of the base
Bad heat profiling Preform base not correctly heated Pre-blowing too late Pre-blowing pressure too low
D5
Too much material on the base (Excrescence).
4
- Preform base not correctly heated - Pre-blowing too late - Pre-blowing pressure too low
D6
Base off-centered.
4
- Pre-blowing pressure too high - Pre-blowing too early - Stretching rod not correctly adjusted
D7
Internal folding in the neck area
2
- Pre-blowing pressure too low - Pre-blowing too late - Bad heat profiling
SOLUTIONS - Increase temperature of the oven or of the involved zone - Reduce temperature of the oven or of the involved zone - Increase temperature of the oven or of the involved zone - Increase pre-blowing pressure - Pre-blow earlier - Reduce temperature of the oven or of the involved zone - Pre-blow earlier - Increase pre-blowing pressure - Increase temperature of the oven or of the involved zone - Pre-blow earlier - Increase pre-blowing pressure - Reduce pre-blowing pressure - Pre-blow later - Adjust the gap between stretching rod and base mould - Increase pre-blowing pressure - Pre-blow earlier - Increase temperature of the oven or of the involved zone - Reduce temperature of the oven or of the involved zone

ZONES
CAUSES
SOLUTIONS - Check spindle water circuit and spindle safety - Check that the over ventilators operate correctly and check adjustment of air admission - Adjust blow nozzle position (adjust spring pressure) - Adjust the height of spindles safety/neck (2 or 3 mm above the neck ring) - Adjust the height of spindles safety/neck (2 or 3 mm above the neck ring) - Reduce pre-blowing pressure - Remove the beginning of high pressure blowing of stretching end - Retighten mould locking - Increase mould temperature - Increase blowing pressure - Blow earlier - Adjust heat profiling
D8
Neck deformed.
1
- Abnormal heating of spindles or spindle protection - Air does not circulate correctly in the oven - Blow nozzles bearing too much
D9
Marks on bottle body
2, 3, 4
- Preform bad quality
D10
Flats on split line
2, 3
- Pre-blowing pressure too high
D11 D12
Distinct split line. Not correctly shaped.
2 et 3 2, 3, 4
D13
Petaloid base not correctly shaped.
4
-
D14
Locale deformation of the bottle when off the machine.
2 et 4
- Blowing pressure too late
- Reduce mould temperature
D15
Excess thickness in the form of rings.
2 et 3
D16
Defective circumferential thickness distribution.
2 et 3
D17
Defective longitudinal thickness distribution.
2, 3, 4
D18
Bottle volume changes when ageing.
2, 3, 4
R11 R3 R4 - Check preform geometry - Adjust heat profiling - Increase pre-blowing pressure - Reduce pre-blowing pressure - Pre-blow earlier - Pre-blow later R13 - Blow earlier
D19
Insufficient compression strength.
2, 3, 4
- Pre-blowing pressure too low - Bad heat profiling - Irregular rotation of preforms - Preform incorrect geometry - Bad heat profiling - Pre-blowing pressure too low - Pre-blowing pressure too high - Pre-blowing too late - Pre-blowing too early - Blowing pressure too low - Blowing pressure too late See D16&D17 - Mould temperature too low - Material viscosity too low
D20
Bottle bursting when dropped.
4
-
Mould locking loose Mould temperature too low Blowing pressure too low Blowing pressure too late Bad heat profiling
Base not correctly bi-oriented Preform base not correctly heated Pre-blowing pressure too low Pre-blowing too late
- Increase mould temperature - Check material quality - Check preform injection point - Adjust the height of spindles safety/neck (2 or 3 mm above the neck ring) - Increase pre-blowing pressure - Increase temperature of the oven or of the involved zone - Pre-blow earlier

3 et 4
CAUSES See D8 - Preform temperature too high at blowing - External upper side of neck scratched or not complete See D16&D17 - Material viscosity too low - Base not correctly bi-oriented - Preform base not correctly heated - Pre-blowing pressure too low - Pre-blowing too late - Weak at injection point - Material viscosity too low - Preform manufacturing mould too cold
SOLUTIONS - Reduce temperature of the oven or of the involved zone - Check preform quality (impacts, scratches, sticking, full filling) - Check material quality - Increase temperature of the oven or of the involved zone - Increase pre-blowing pressure - Pre-blow earlier - Check preform injection point - Check material quality - Check preform quality (impacts, scratches, sticking, full filling)
