EP-HGA.ES-2C200 Edible Oil Bottle & Handle Bottle Blow Molding Machine
The EP-HGA.ES-2C200 represents the next step up within this edible oil series, addressing the gap between small-format oil bottles and the very large 10–20 L bulk containers. With a maximum container volume of 5,000 ml, this automatic pet blowing machine is the configuration that food-grade bottling operations most commonly require when scaling up from 1.5 L formats without yet committing to the logistics and warehouse footprint that 10 L or 20 L container production demands.
The centralized heating and distance-blowing architecture that defines this series is particularly effective at the ES-2C200 scale. At 5 L, container wall thickness distribution becomes a measurable quality variable — small deviations in preform temperature uniformity translate into visible defects on the finished bottle.
The 1,600 bph rated output is achievable on two-cavity production of containers up to 350 mm in height — covering the 2 L, 3 L, and 5 L size ranges that dominate both retail and foodservice oil bottle formats in these regions. The machine footprint of 4,300 × 2,100 × 2,500 mm and weight of 4,500 kg are compatible with standard factory floor layouts without requiring structural modifications.

Key Advantages of the EP-HGA.ES-2C200 Blow Molding Machine
Large-Capacity Handle Bottle Production
Reaching up to 5,000 ml per bottle, the ES-2C200 fills a specific production gap that smaller blow molding machines cannot address. Handle bottle geometries at 3 L and 5 L require longer stretching strokes and wider mold openings — both of which are factored into this machine's 500 mm stretching stroke and 499 mm mold-open distance. Front and rear handle profiles are equally supported, giving buyers flexibility to switch between retail and bulk oil container formats without retooling the entire machine.
Centralized Heating Architecture
The separation of the heating zone from the blowing station is a deliberate design decision for large-format containers. Preforms destined for 5 L bottles carry significantly more PET material than smaller bottle preforms, and they require longer dwell time in the heating tunnel. The centralized heating layout allows this conditioning to happen at the correct pace without creating a bottleneck at the blowing station — maintaining the machine's 1,600 bph output without sacrificing wall-thickness uniformity in the finished container.
Wide Neck Format Compatibility
A neck diameter range of up to 138 mm covers most standard finish sizes used in cooking oil, bulk condiment, and commercial food service packaging. This is a wider neck accommodation than the ES-2C130 offers, and it makes the ES-2C200 suitable for wide-mouth containers where screw-cap access is important — an increasingly common format in Latin American and Southeast Asian retail channels for premium oils and specialty sauces.
Scalable Air System
High-pressure air consumption at 6,000 L/min reflects the larger container volume being expanded on each cycle. The air system is designed to work with matched oil-free compressors that eliminate contamination risk in food-grade bottle production. Buyers planning this installation should size their pet blowing machine compressor pairing to this figure to avoid the pressure drop issues that commonly limit output on improperly configured lines.

Blow Molding Machine Mold Engineering
Preform Injection Mold
- The gate lip assembly is constructed as two separate interlocking pieces, a configuration that guarantees coaxial alignment of the preform body throughout the injection and cooling stages — directly reducing eccentricity and wall-thickness variation in the finished preform.
- Cooling circuit routing covers the full preform length, maximizing heat extraction rate and shortening the cooling phase within each production cycle.
- Forming inserts are machined from imported 2316 die steel — a grade selected for its corrosion resistance and response to heat treatment, maintaining cavity geometry over extended production runs.
- Core plates, cavity plates, and structural components are produced from 420 stainless steel to ensure reliable performance in the humid or chemically active environments typical of food packaging production floors.
- The mold layout prioritizes maintenance access, with components designed for removal and reinstallation without specialized tooling.
- Standardized interchangeable fittings are used throughout, and the cavity arrangement supports production of more than one preform specification from a single mold tool.
Blowing Mold
- Mold bodies are produced from high-grade tool steel selected for hardness, machinability, and thermal conductivity — qualities that matter at the 30 kg/cm² blowing pressures used for 5 L containers.
- Every bottle cavity geometry is developed in precision 3D CAD/CAM software, capturing draft angles, handle geometry, and base profile details that are critical for clean demolding of large-format containers.
- Multiple bottle profile options are available, allowing operators to select from a library of proven oil bottle and handle bottle designs rather than starting from scratch for each new container project.
- Internal water-cooling channels are routed to prioritize coverage of thick-wall areas and handle attachment zones, where heat retention is greatest after the blowing cycle.
- All structural mold components are finish-machined on CNC equipment to tight dimensional tolerances, ensuring consistent parting-line contact and preventing flash on the finished bottle.
Blow Molding Machine Application Scenarios
3 L & 5 L Cooking Oil
The ES-2C200 blow molding machine's 5,000 ml maximum volume directly targets the 3 L and 5 L cooking oil formats that account for the majority of retail and cash-and-carry edible oil sales in Latin American markets including Colombia, Peru, and Bolivia. The handle bottle configuration improves consumer ergonomics at this weight range.
Bulk Condiment & Sauce Packaging
Wide-neck containers up to 138 mm neck diameter produced on this auto pet blowing machine serve the institutional condiment market — restaurants, canteens, and food processing operations that purchase soy sauce, vinegar, fish sauce, and similar products in 3–5 L bulk formats for cost efficiency.
Detergent & Cleaning Products
Large-format handle bottles in the 3–5 L range are a standard format for liquid laundry detergent, floor cleaner, and disinfectant packaging. The same mold tools used for oil bottle production can be adapted for these applications, allowing multi-product flexibility on a single plastic blow molding machine.
Agricultural & Horticultural Chemicals
5 L PET containers are widely used for liquid fertilizers, pesticide concentrates, and foliar spray products in agricultural markets. The ES-2C200's container diameter range and handle bottle capability make it applicable for this sector, where robust container geometry and secure closure seating are important end-use requirements.
Water Dispenser Bottles
Where local regulations and market norms support PET as the container material, the 5 L format produced on this fully automatic blow moulding machine aligns with standard water dispenser bottle sizes used in offices, workshops, and smaller retail environments across tropical and subtropical markets.
How to Choose the Right Blow Molding Machine for Your Operation
Matching the machine to your container specification is the first decision. The EP-HGA.ES-2C200 is the appropriate choice when your target container volume is between 1.5 L and 5 L, your neck finish diameter falls within 138 mm, and your planned output is around 1,600 bottles per hour on a dual-cavity configuration. If your containers are consistently below 1.5 L, the ES-2C130 is more appropriate. If you are producing 10 L or 20 L containers, the FS-2C200(5L) or the J-2C366(20L) models in the same series address those size ranges. Selecting the correct model from the start avoids both underutilized capacity and production bottlenecks caused by running containers near the maximum design limits of an undersized machine.
Beyond container size, consider your preform supply. The two-step blow molding machine approach assumes that preforms are manufactured separately and purchased or produced in advance. This gives you flexibility in preform sourcing and allows the blowing operation to run independently of injection molding constraints. Preforms for the ES-2C200 must match the neck finish, body weight, and overall length appropriate for your target container — we can provide preform specification guidance as part of the machine selection process.
Finally, plan your utility supply before committing to a model. The ES-2C200 requires 85 kW peak electrical supply, 6,000 L/min of high-pressure air at 30 kg/cm², and a 91.4 L/min cooling water flow at 8–12 °C. These figures are higher than the ES-2C130 because larger containers require more energy to heat, stretch, and cool. If your facility's utility infrastructure is not already sized for these figures, factoring in upgrade costs as part of the total investment is important for accurate project budgeting.
Core Machine Components & Engineering Features
Preform Conveyor & Orientation System
An automated inclined conveyor feeds preforms from the hopper into the heating zone with consistent orientation. At the ES-2C200's container scale, preform weight and body length make reliable conveyor tracking particularly important — misaligned preforms at this size can cause mold damage if they reach the blowing station incorrectly seated.
Multi-Zone Infrared Heating Tunnel
Independent zone control across the heating tunnel allows the operator to build a custom temperature profile along the preform body. For large-format oil bottle preforms, this typically means lower heat input near the neck and gate area and higher heat in the body section that needs to stretch into the handle and shoulder geometry of the finished container.
High-Pressure Blowing Station
The blowing station applies up to 30 kg/cm² air pressure through the stretch rod assembly. At 5 L container volume, the internal air volume per cycle is substantially larger than for smaller bottles, which is why the high-pressure air consumption figure of 6,000 L/min is a meaningful planning input for compressor selection. The station operates with a dual-cavity layout, blowing two bottles per cycle.
PLC Control & Monitoring
The control system provides a touchscreen interface for entering and saving production parameters by container model. Heating profiles, blowing pressure curves, timing sequences, and alarm thresholds can all be stored as named recipes and recalled when switching between bottle formats. This simplifies changeover between different SKUs on the same line and supports repeatable startup after shutdowns.

Our product program spans single-stage and two-stage configurations, covering container volumes from 50 ml up to 20 L across food, beverage, cosmetics, pharmaceutical, and industrial packaging applications. Every machine we produce goes through a full-speed production test at the factory before shipment, so that buyers receive equipment that is confirmed to perform at its rated specification rather than being calibrated on-site for the first time during installation.
Our R&D program continues to address emerging requirements in the blow molding machine market — including lighter preform designs, faster cycle times, energy reduction in the heating system, and compatibility with post-consumer recycled PET material grades.
Workshop
Compatible Auxiliary Equipment
Running a complete bottle blow molding machine line requires matched auxiliary systems. We supply or source the following equipment to support full-line procurement from a single supplier — simplifying project management and ensuring compatibility between all installed components.
Air Compressor
Oil-free high-pressure compressors rated to the ES-2C200's 30 kg/cm² blowing pressure and 6,000 L/min consumption. Oil-free specification is mandatory for food-grade bottle production to prevent contamination of the blowing air that contacts the interior of finished containers.
Mold Temperature Controller
Stable mold temperature within the 8–12 °C range specified for the ES-2C200 is essential for consistent cycle times and dimensional accuracy. Temperature controllers matched to the mold's cooling circuit volume and flow rate ensure that mold temperature stays within target even during extended production runs.
Bottle Visual Inspection Machine
Automated inspection systems downstream of the blowing machine detect surface defects, incomplete bottle formation, and wall thinning anomalies before containers reach the filling station. For food-grade oil bottle production, defect rejection at the blowing stage is more cost-effective than at the filling or labeling stage.
Chiller & Water Cooling Unit
A dedicated industrial chiller is required to maintain the 91.4 L/min cooling water supply at 8–12 °C. At the ES-2C200's scale, undersized cooling capacity is one of the most common root causes of extended cycle times and dimensional inconsistency — sizing the chiller correctly from the start avoids these production problems.
