EP-HGA.ES-4C100 Food Jars and Cans Bottle Blow Molding Machine

The EP-HGA.ES-4C100 is a fully automatic blow molding machine specifically developed for producing wide-mouth food jars, condiment containers, easy-open cans, and large-caliber edible-oil bottles. As a representative model in the Food Jars and Cans Series, this bottle blow molding machine applies the classic two-step blow molding process: preforms are first injection-moulded, then reheated and stretch-blown to final shape. This two-stage blow molding machine design keeps preform quality and blowing parameters independently controllable, giving processors greater flexibility over wall thickness distribution and overall bottle integrity.

With a maximum container volume of 800 ml and a neck diameter range reaching up to 68 mm, the EP-HGA.ES-4C100 blow molding machine handles the full spectrum of wide-mouth formats that the food industry demands. The four-cavity mold configuration (Cavities: 4) supports a theoretical output of 4,600 bottles per hour, making this automatic pet blowing machine a practical choice for mid-to-high volume food packaging lines that require consistent dimensional accuracy without sacrificing cycle efficiency.

How the Two-Stage Blow Molding Process Works

Unlike single-stage systems that combine injection and blowing in one continuous cycle, the two-step blow molding machine separates preform production from bottle forming into independent stages. In Stage 1, PET or PP resin is injection-moulded into precision preforms under tightly controlled temperature and pressure. Preforms are then cooled, quality-checked, and stored. In Stage 2, preforms are reheated in an infrared oven to the exact stretching temperature, then transported to the blow station where a stretch rod extends the preform axially while high-pressure air (up to 35 kg/cm²) expands it radially into the mould cavity.

This two-stage blow molding machine approach delivers several practical benefits for food packaging processors. Because preform inventory can be built up in advance, the blowing station runs at full capacity without being throttled by injection cycle time. The result is a higher net output per shift. The EP-HGA.ES-4C100 blow molding machine takes full advantage of this architecture: its 4-cavity tooling and 92-position preform holder work together to sustain the 4,600 bph theoretical throughput figure listed in the specification table above. Operators processing PET bottles for dried-fruit, condiment, or pharmaceutical-grade food products will find this balance of speed and precision directly relevant to their line economics.

Key Product Advantages

◆ Wide-Mouth Capability

The 68 mm neck diameter makes this auto blowing machine one of very few in its class capable of producing incision-free easy-open cans automatically — a technically demanding format that traditional machinery handles poorly.

◆ High Throughput — 4,600 bph

The 4-cavity pet blow molding machine design sustains up to 4,600 bottles per hour under normal operating conditions. Whether you run single-shift or continuous 24-hour production, the output figures hold up under sustained load.

◆ Energy-Efficient Heating

Normal heating power sits at 21 kW against a peak of 62.5 kW, meaning the heating system operates at around one-third capacity during steady-state production. This ratio keeps energy expenditure predictable and overhead low for food packaging operations running extended production windows.

◆ Proven Mechanical Stability

The rigid machine frame, coupled with a precisely tuned clamping mechanism (128 mm stroke, 200 mm close distance), maintains consistent mold alignment across millions of production cycles. Dimensional variation between bottles is kept within tight tolerances — critical for downstream filling and capping equipment.

◆ Compatible with Multiple Resins

While PET is the primary material for food containers in this series, the plastic blowing machine platform supports PETG, PC, PCTG, and PP with appropriate tooling and parameter adjustment, giving processors the flexibility to respond to changing packaging specifications or material sourcing conditions.

◆ National Patent Portfolio

The engineering behind this fully automatic blow moulding machine series is backed by multiple registered national patents covering the heating system design, mold-clamping mechanism, and preform transfer methodology. These patents reflect years of iterative improvement in production reliability and output consistency.

How to Choose the Right Blow Molding Machine

Selecting between a single-stage and two-stage blow molding machine is the first and most consequential equipment decision a food packaging processor will make. Here is a practical framework drawn from real-world production experience across multiple container categories.

01 — Define Your Bottle Geometry

Neck diameter is the deciding parameter for wide-mouth applications. If your container requires a neck of 50 mm or above, you need a dedicated bottle blow molding machine in the HGA.ES series. Standard narrow-neck machines cannot produce these formats reliably.

02 — Match Output to Line Speed

A pet blow molding machine rated at 4,600 bph on a 4-cavity mold needs to align with your downstream filler, capper, and labeller throughput. Over-specifying creates buffer inventory; under-specifying creates bottlenecks. Use theoretical output figures as a baseline, then apply a 10–15% efficiency factor for real-world conditions.

03 — Consider Resin Flexibility

If your product portfolio includes both PET and PP containers, choose a plastic blowing machine platform that supports both material families through tooling changes rather than full machine replacement. The EP-HGA.ES-4C100 covers PET, PETG, PC, PCTG, and PP.

04 — Evaluate Utility Requirements

High-pressure blowing at 35 kg/cm² demands a matched air compressor with sufficient flow capacity. Verify that your plant utility infrastructure — compressed air volume, cooling water flow at 30 ltr/min, and electrical supply — meets the machine specification before finalising your order.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the steps involved in the two-stage blow molding process for wide-mouth food jars and how does it differ from a single-stage system?
In a two-step blow molding machine setup, preform injection and bottle blowing are performed in separate, independent operations. This means preforms can be produced ahead of demand, stored, and fed into the blowing station on a schedule that maximises machine utilisation. A single-stage system ties injection and blowing together in one continuous cycle, which limits throughput flexibility. For wide-mouth containers requiring careful wall thickness distribution, the two-stage approach allows more precise reheating control before the stretch-blow stage.
Which bottle shapes and container formats can the EP-HGA.ES-4C100 fully automatic blow moulding machine produce for food industry applications in Colombia and Latin America?
The machine handles containers up to 800 ml in volume, with a maximum body diameter of 80 mm and a neck diameter range reaching 68 mm. This covers dried-fruit jars, condiment containers, edible-oil bottles, easy-open plastic cans, and wide-mouth supplement containers. Bottle designs are developed using 3D CAD software, and a library of existing validated profiles is available to reduce tooling lead time for standard formats commonly used in Colombian and Latin American food markets.
What auxiliary equipment does a food-grade PET bottle blow molding machine line typically need and where can I source a compatible oil-free air compressor?
A complete pet blow molding machine line for food-grade production typically requires an oil-free air compressor capable of supplying high-pressure blowing air at 35 kg/cm², a mold temperature controller to stabilise cooling water between 8 and 12°C, a chiller to maintain that temperature over extended production windows, and optionally an inline bottle visual inspection unit. We supply all four categories and can configure them as a matched package to guarantee utility compatibility before installation.
How does the HGA.ES-4C100 automatic pet blowing machine maintain consistent bottle quality across extended multi-shift production runs?
Consistency is maintained through three mechanisms. First, the rigid clamping system with its 128 mm clamping stroke holds mold alignment to tight tolerances even under thermal cycling. Second, the infrared heating oven is zoned and independently calibrated to ensure each preform reaches the target temperature profile before the stretch-blow stage. Third, the 2316 and 420 stainless-steel mold materials used in the preform injection tooling resist dimensional drift from corrosion or heat fatigue, maintaining cavity geometry across millions of production cycles.
When choosing between different types of blow molding machines for a high-volume condiment packaging plant, what technical factors should a production manager prioritise first?
Start with neck diameter and container volume, as these determine which machine family is even compatible with your target bottle. For condiment containers with wide mouths, a machine in the HGA.ES series is necessary. Next, evaluate theoretical output against your filling line speed and apply a 10–15% real-world efficiency reduction. Then assess utility requirements — compressed air volume and quality, cooling water temperature and flow rate, and electrical supply capacity.
