UM supplies and manufactures Krones blow molding parts for maintenance and repair applications on Contiform C2 and C3 equipment. Support focuses on compatible mechanical, transport, heating and blowing-station components that can be identified from references, drawings, samples or machine information.
Typical replacement requests may include preform and bottle transfer parts, grippers, cams, rollers, bushings, guides, wear plates, spindle or oven-transport components, stretch-rod parts, valves, mold supports and other precision-machined items. Component design varies across Contiform generations, station counts, machine options and container applications, so references must be verified against the installed equipment.
High-cycle parts should be inspected for play, surface wear, cracking, deformation and loss of smooth movement. Maintenance teams should also compare wear across stations. A repeated issue at one position may suggest a local alignment or assembly problem, while uniform deterioration may indicate a normal replacement interval.
Critical-spare planning should consider not only the frequency of replacement but also the consequence of failure and the time required to identify or manufacture the component. A documented spare with confirmed machine information is easier to reorder than an unidentified worn part during an outage.
Include the Contiform model or generation, machine serial number, station or assembly location, known Krones reference and quantity. Clear photographs should show the part from several angles and its relationship to adjacent components.
If the reference is unknown or the part is obsolete, UM can evaluate a drawing, dimensional data or physical sample. Reverse engineering may be considered when geometry, material and functional interfaces can be defined with sufficient confidence.
Yes. We manufacture replacement parts for Krones Contiform machines ranging from Gen 2 / S-Series to the latest Gen 4, with most of our experience and product range focused on C2 and C3 lines.
Yes. We can reverse-engineer Krones parts from a physical sample, even when the original component is unavailable or unidentified. An unworn spare is ideal, but our technical team can also work from worn or damaged parts by evaluating wear patterns, machine function, and adjacent components to determine the original geometry.
Send us an OEM part number, a drawing, a photo or a sample and our team will confirm availability and compatibility.
