Feeding

Preform Feeding Unit

Furthermore, it utilizes a star wheel feeding system to replace the traditional mechanical turnover structure. This design ensures smoother and more stable preform feeding, enhancing overall machine performance.

Heating

Heating Unit (38.1mm Pitch)

The heating unit of our **6 cavity blow molding machine** features the industry's smallest 38.1mm heating pitch technology, significantly reducing heating oven power consumption. Utilizes Swiss imported ceramic reflectors to enhance reflection efficiency, improving overall oven performance for higher efficiency and energy savings.

Claw

Mechanical Claw

Pneumatic-free: No compressed air needed, reducing energy and complexity. Additionally, its rigid mechanical design offers 70% longer wear part life than pneumatic claws. Spring-Synchronized Gripping: Flexible & precise neck-handling, no deformation during transfer.

Blowing

Stretch Blowing Unit

Stretch rod driven by servo motor with rack and pinion transmission. Equipped with IMI NORGREN high-pressure blowing valve, optional air recovery function.

Mold

Blow Mold

All molds are manufactured from 7075 aviation aluminum. The single-cavity round mold structure allows for quick and easy mold changes

Typical Bottle Outputs of the 6 Cavity Machine

Visualizing our machine's molding capabilities across various standard bottle types.

500 mL Water Bottle

Preform Weight: 15 g Stable Output: 11,500–12,000 BPH
Baseline bottle; ideal for standard water production.

330 mL CSD Bottle

Preform Weight: 22 g Stable Output: 9,000–9,500 BPH
Requires pressure-resistant design and strict cooling conditions.

1.5 L Water Bottle

Preform Weight: 28 g Stable Output: 7,000–7,500 BPH
Output drops as preform weight and bottle size increase.
Note: Output data are for reference. Therefore, actual stable output must be confirmed by on-site testing with the specific preform, mold, heating configuration, and site utilities.
