EP-HGA.ES-2C260 2 Cavities Large-Format Crafts & Special-shaped Bottle Blow Molding Machine

15,000 ml Container Capacity — Unique in This Machine Class

A 15-litre maximum container volume is the defining specification of the HGA.ES-2C260 Blow Molding Machine — it is the figure that separates this blow molding machine from everything below it in the HGA series and from most machines in the global market. Few two-step blow molding platforms reach this container volume at all, and fewer do so in a 2-cavity configuration. Institutional water jugs, 10-litre demijohns, large bulk oil containers, and oversized industrial cleaning product containers all fall within this envelope, opening segments that most producers currently import rather than manufacture domestically.

240 mm Container Diameter for Wide-Body Formats

At 240 mm maximum container diameter, the HGA.ES-2C260 handles container widths that place wide-mouth institutional jars, large round demijohns, and oversized craft packaging within its production scope. The 635 mm mold-open distance and 275 mm clamping stroke provide the mechanical clearance for the wide, heavy mold assemblies these containers require. The toggle-link clamping unit is dimensioned and pre-loaded for even force distribution across this extended mold face — preventing the differential flash that would be visible on a 240 mm container where any parting line defect is immediately prominent.

High-Capacity Heating for Very Large Preforms

Preforms for 10-litre to 15-litre containers are substantially heavier than anything used in smaller machines — wall thickness and total preform weight both scale with container volume. The 68 kW main heating system, supplemented by a further 35 kW of additional heating capacity (103 kW combined), is sized for these large preform formats. Zone-by-zone infrared control across the 42-position carousel allows engineers to set graduated temperature profiles along the preform height, ensuring even core-to-skin temperature throughout heavy-wall preforms before they enter the blow station — the conditioning precision that prevents thick-base, thin-wall defects in very large containers.

550 mm Stretch Rod for Tall Containers

The 550 mm stretching stroke is the longest in the HGA series, reflecting the axial pre-stretch requirement for containers up to 450 mm tall. Correct pre-stretch programming on tall large-volume containers is where process engineering skill matters most: too little pre-stretch leaves excess material in the neck zone and starves the base; too much pre-stretch causes mid-body thinning that fails drop-impact tests. The PLC-controlled stretch rod on this two-step blow molding machine allows stretch speed, position profile, and timing to be stored in product recipes and recalled instantly at changeover, eliminating the manual trial-and-error that consumes material and time when qualifying a new large container format.

16,000 ltr/min High-Pressure Air Capacity

A 15-litre container requires roughly ten times the air volume per cycle of a 1.5-litre bottle. The HGA.ES-2C260 Blow Molding Machine specifies 16,000 ltr/min high-pressure air consumption at 35 kg/cm² blowing pressure — the highest specification in the series, reflecting the volume demand of two simultaneous large-container expansions per cycle. This specification drives the compressor sizing calculation for site preparation: the installed compressor package must sustain this flow rate at rated pressure under tropical ambient conditions, with 20–25% capacity buffer for demand peaks. Under-sizing the compressed air supply is the most common commissioning error on large-format blow molding machines in new overseas installations.

Full Automation for Large-Container Cycle Management

Large containers have longer cycle times than small ones — the time to fully expand a 15-litre container, cool it against the mold wall, and eject it safely is significantly greater than a 1.5-litre bottle cycle. The HGA.ES-2C260 Blow Molding Machine's PLC control system manages these extended cycles with timing precision that prevents premature ejection of under-cooled containers — a defect mode that causes bottle shape distortion after demold. As a fully automatic blow moulding machine, it handles the complete production sequence without operator intervention between cycles, which is particularly important for large containers where manual handling at demold presents both a safety risk and a product quality risk from surface contact.

Preform Injection Mold

• The split die-lip construction maintains gate concentricity through the full preform formation cycle — critical for the longer, heavier preforms used in 10-litre to 15-litre container production where any eccentric gate position amplifies into visible wall variation in the blown container.
• Cooling gallery architecture prioritizes maximum thermal extraction from heavy-wall large-format preforms, reducing cycle time while controlling the post-injection dimensional changes that affect preform fit in the blow station mandrel.
• Forming inserts are machined from imported die steel 2316, heat-treated and rust-resistant — the grade selected for long service life on the high-tonnage, high-thermal-cycling conditions of large preform injection.
• Core and cavity structural components use 420 stainless steel throughout, providing corrosion resistance for the humid environments common to production facilities in Colombia, Southeast Asia, and West Africa.
• Modular insert architecture supports maintenance at the component level — worn forming inserts are replaced without removing the full mold assembly, reducing downtime on high-value large-format production runs.
• Standard-dimension interchangeable fittings allow a single mold base to support different preform geometries across the container volume range, reducing total tooling investment for producers running multiple large-format SKUs.

Blowing Mold

• Large-format blowing mold bodies are produced from certified alloy tool steel with toughness grade selected for the higher clamping forces and greater air pressure exposure that 15-litre container production imposes versus standard container tooling.
• Cavity geometry is generated in 3D parametric modeling software — a prerequisite for large-format special shapes where small geometry errors that would be acceptable in a 500 ml bottle become visible structural variations in a 240 mm diameter container.
• The available container design library covers large round demijohn profiles, wide-mouth institutional jars, tall narrow craft spirits containers, and square-body industrial jugs — starting points for tooling development discussions that accelerate the new container qualification process.
• Cooling channel placement uses flow simulation to balance heat extraction across the large mold surface area, where the thermal mass of the mold itself means that poorly positioned channels cause progressive temperature drift over a production shift.
• All machined components across both cavity positions are produced on CNC machining centers to matched dimensional tolerances — the foundation of consistent output between cavities when both are producing 15-litre containers simultaneously.

Large Craft Spirits & Demijohn Production

Premium craft spirit producers and artisan wine brands in Latin America increasingly package in 3-litre to 10-litre demijohn formats for premium and gifting segments. PETG's glass-like clarity, surface gloss, and ability to hold embossed branding make it the premium material of choice in this segment. The HGA.ES-2C260 blow molding machine's 15,000 ml maximum volume and 240 mm container diameter accommodate the wide-body demijohn geometry that craft producers specify for maximum on-shelf visual presence.

Industrial & Agricultural Chemical Containers

PP's broad chemical resistance covers the agricultural inputs, industrial solvents, and cleaning concentrates packaged in 5-litre to 15-litre containers for distribution to farm cooperatives and industrial customers across Colombia and neighboring markets. These containers must pass UN-certified drop and stack tests at maximum fill weight — requirements that depend on wall thickness uniformity that the two-step blow process provides more reliably than single-stage alternatives at large volumes.

Large-Format Edible Oil & Food Containers

Edible oil in the 5-litre to 15-litre range for food service and institutional catering represents consistent high-volume demand across Latin American markets. PP's FDA food-contact compliance, grease resistance, and heat tolerance for hot-fill applications make it the standard material for this segment. The bottle blow molding machine produces these containers with the dimensional consistency and fill capacity accuracy that food service distributors specify in their procurement standards.

Oversized Cosmetics & Personal Care Display Packaging

Luxury cosmetics brands and personal care companies occasionally commission large-format display containers — 5-litre to 10-litre PETG flagons for retail displays, promotional oversized shampoo containers, and large-body transparent packaging for visual merchandising. These low-volume, high-margin applications use the same machine and tooling infrastructure as institutional production, and the recipe management system on this auto blowing machine makes switching between institutional and promotional formats a practical production operation.

Container Volume Above 5,000 ml

If your product requires a container larger than 5 litres, the HGA.ES-2C260 is the only machine in this series that can accommodate it. Confirm your target container volume and dimensions against the 15,000 ml, 240 mm diameter, and 450 mm height specifications before proceeding. Container geometry simulation from the preform design through to the blow cavity is strongly recommended before tooling investment at this scale.

Compressed Air Infrastructure

The 16,000 ltr/min high-pressure air demand at 35 kg/cm² is the most demanding utility requirement in the series by a significant margin. Site preparation must include a high-pressure compressor package, distribution header, and pressure storage vessel sized specifically for this machine's peak demand. In Colombia and other tropical markets, compressor capacity calculations must use local ambient temperature — typically 32–38°C — rather than the standard 20°C test condition, since compressor volumetric efficiency falls by approximately 3% per 5°C above rated ambient.

Floor Load Capacity

At 7,500 kg machine weight, plus mold assembly weight for large 2-cavity tooling — which can add 2,000–4,000 kg — total floor loading on the machine bay foundation exceeds what standard industrial floor slabs support without engineering review. A structural assessment of the installation floor, and potential foundation reinforcement, should be part of the site preparation scope for the HGA.ES-2C260. This is particularly relevant for facilities in Colombia and Southeast Asia where older industrial buildings may have lighter floor specification than required.

Cooling Water at 50 ltr/min

The cooling water specification of 50 ltr/min at 8–12°C is higher than smaller machines in the series, reflecting the greater thermal mass of large mold assemblies. In tropical markets, a chiller sized for 50 ltr/min at the required temperature setpoint — with capacity buffer for ambient heat gain in distribution piping — is standard equipment for this machine. Cooling water temperature compliance is the single most important utility factor for maintaining consistent container geometry on large-format containers across a multi-shift production day.

Oil-Free High-Pressure Air Compressor

The 16,000 ltr/min high-pressure demand of the HGA.ES-2C260 requires a dedicated high-pressure compressor package — not a standard industrial plant air system. Oil-free piston or booster compressors are mandatory for any food, pharmaceutical, or premium cosmetic container application. Size with 20–25% capacity reserve above rated consumption, and specify output capacity at local ambient temperature.

அச்சு வெப்பநிலை கட்டுப்படுத்தி

Large mold assemblies for 10-litre to 15-litre containers have far greater thermal mass than standard container tooling. Without stable cooling water at 8–12°C, mold temperature progressively rises through a shift, causing container height to increase and capacity to creep above specification as the cavity expands thermally. A dedicated temperature controller delivering 50 ltr/min at the required setpoint — sized for the actual mold thermal load, not just the machine specification — is essential for maintaining dimensional consistency across a full production shift.

Bottle Visual Inspection Machine

Large containers carry a higher per-unit material cost than small ones, which makes defect detection before downstream processing more economically critical. A camera-based inline inspection system adapted for large container formats — with field of view and lighting appropriate for 240 mm diameter containers — checks wall uniformity, parting line quality, and neck geometry on every bottle. Integrating inspection before filling prevents large, heavy containers from consuming filling product and packaging materials before a defect is detected, a cost that scales directly with container volume.

Industrial Chiller & Utility Package

We supply matched industrial chiller and high-pressure compressor packages sized specifically for the HGA.ES-2C260 blow molding machine's utility consumption profile. For buyers setting up large-format production in Colombia, Brazil, or Southeast Asia for the first time, a packaged utility system engineered to this machine's specifications removes the most common source of commissioning delays — utility infrastructure that is undersized, incompatibly specified, or incorrectly connected.
