EP-HGA.ES-2C260 Food Jars and Cans Bottle Blow Molding Machine
The EP-HGA.ES-2C260 is the largest dual-cavity model in the Food Jars and Cans blow molding machine series, purpose-engineered for container formats that place extraordinary demands on clamping force, stretching stroke, and mold-open distance. With a maximum container volume of 15,000 ml and a neck diameter range extending to 168 mm, this fully automatic blow moulding machine covers a production envelope that no single-cavity or standard dual-cavity blow molding machine in this series can match.
The two-step blow molding machine approach that underpins this series separates preform injection from the blowing cycle entirely. Preforms for the extreme wide-neck formats this machine handles — neck diameters between 138 mm and 168 mm — have significantly greater shoulder wall mass than any standard beverage preform, and reheating them uniformly to orientation temperature requires the extended oven dwell time that only a two-stage process can reliably provide. The 42 preform holders on this model are carefully balanced against the machine’s 900 bph theoretical output to ensure each preform receives adequate thermal conditioning regardless of ambient temperature variation in the production environment.
At the mechanical level, the clamping stroke of 275 mm, mold-open distance of 635 mm, and stretching stroke of 550 mm collectively define a machine that can produce containers 450 mm in height with body diameters reaching 240 mm.

Why the EP-HGA.ES-2C260 Blow Molding Machine Stands Apart
Production requirements for large-format food containers are structurally different from those governing standard jar and condiment bottle output. The container mass, the wall thickness required for top-load performance, the oven dwell time needed to heat a thick-walled wide-neck preform evenly, and the blowing pressure required to fill a 240 mm diameter mold cavity completely — each of these parameters pushes toward machine specifications that a mid-range pet blow molding machine simply cannot meet. The EP-HGA.ES-2C260 was engineered from the ground up around these demands, not adapted from a smaller platform.
📦 15,000 ml Maximum Volume
No other model in this series reaches the 15,000 ml container volume ceiling. This specification directly addresses demand from catering, food service, and industrial bulk packaging sectors where 10-litre to 15-litre containers are standard product formats across markets in Colombia, Australia, and the broader Asia-Pacific region.
📏 168 mm Neck Diameter
A neck diameter of 168 mm is among the widest specifications available on any two-step blow molding machine platform targeting food-grade applications. Containers at this neck diameter support hand-access dispensing, wide-mouth filling line compatibility, and lid systems that require broad sealing surfaces — all standard requirements in the bulk food sector.
🔩 550 mm Stretching Stroke
The 550 mm stretching stroke is the longest in this machine series, enabling containers up to 450 mm in height. This accommodates tall narrow-waist drum formats alongside standard wide-body jars — giving tooling designers flexibility to cover multiple SKUs from a single machine platform without changing the base stretching mechanism.
🥫 Incision-Free Can Forming
Even at jumbo container scale, the proprietary incision-free forming mechanism eliminates the secondary cutting step that conventional easy-open can production requires. For industrial food processors replacing metal or composite cans with PET packaging, this capability directly removes a piece of line equipment and the labour and maintenance cost associated with it.
⚡ Controlled Energy at Scale
Rated heating power of 68 kW with a normal operating draw of 35 kW gives an operating efficiency ratio of 51% — competitive for a machine at this output scale and container size. Zone-controlled infrared heating across the oven delivers energy precisely to the preform sections that need it rather than heating the entire oven mass uniformly, which would be wasteful for the thick-shouldered preforms this machine processes.
🎛️ Servo-PLC Control Architecture
A PLC-based control system with servo-driven mechanical positioning manages all machine functions from a central touchscreen HMI. At the scale this machine operates — producing containers that are physically large and individually high-value — consistent mechanical repeatability is not optional. Servo accuracy at the stretching rod eliminates the cycle-to-cycle height variation that pneumatic stretching systems exhibit over long production runs.

Machine Structure & Engineering Detail
The structural backbone of the EP-HGA.ES-2C260 Blow Molding Machine is a heavy weldment frame that carries significantly greater clamping force than any other model in this series. The 275 mm clamping stroke and 635 mm mold-open distance require platen guidance systems machined to tighter tolerances than those adequate for smaller molds — at the dimensional scale of a 168 mm neck mold, any platen misalignment translates directly into neck-finish concentricity failure between the two cavities, which in a 15-litre container represents a material and cycle cost far higher than in a 500 ml jar. The main frame is designed and assembled to maintain those tolerances under the thermal cycling and clamping force repetition of sustained multi-shift food packaging production.
The preform oven on this model carries 42 preform holders — fewer than the 60-holder dual-cavity standard models but calculated correctly for the much slower cycle time that large-format containers require. Each wide-neck preform weighing significantly more than a standard jar preform needs a proportionally longer oven residence time to reach and stabilise at orientation temperature throughout its wall cross-section. Reducing the holder count is the engineering mechanism that provides that dwell time without slowing the oven conveyor speed to a point where the oven's infrared lamp banks create hot spots on the outer preform surface.
High-pressure air for blowing is specified at 35 kg/cm² with a consumption of 16,000 ltr/min — the highest consumption figure in this series, reflecting the much larger container volume being inflated per cycle. This air system specification requires a proportionally scaled oil-free compressor installation. The integrated air recovery system captures residual pressure from the formed containers after each cycle and returns it to the low-pressure circuit, providing meaningful compressed air savings even at this consumption scale. Cooling water at 8–10 °C with 50 ltr/min flow rate manages the thermal load from both mold halves across extended production runs.
Mold System
สถานการณ์การใช้งาน
The EP-HGA.ES-2C260 addresses the segment of food and industrial packaging where container scale alone disqualifies standard bottle blow molding machine platforms. The following application areas reflect where this machine's 168 mm neck diameter ceiling and 15,000 ml volume specification translate directly into production capability that procurement teams cannot replicate on smaller equipment.
🛢️ Bulk Edible Oil Containers
5-litre to 15-litre edible oil drums for food service, catering, and industrial cooking supply chains. The 240 mm maximum body diameter and 450 mm maximum height cover the dimensional envelope of standard bulk oil container formats used by food distributors across Colombia and Southeast Asia. PET transparency meets consumer preference for visible product level in these formats.
🫙 Catering-Grade Condiment Jars
Wide-mouth condiment containers for restaurant, hotel, and institutional kitchen supply. At 168 mm neck diameter, these jars accept commercial ladle dispensing without pouring — a practical requirement that food service distributors increasingly specify in their container procurement, and one that standard auto pet blowing machine platforms cannot reach.
🥡 Bulk Food Storage Jars
Nuts, dried pulses, cereals, and dehydrated products in retail or food-service multi-kilo pack sizes. The wide-mouth format combined with the secure lid systems that 138–168 mm neck threads support makes these containers a direct substitute for glass and tin alternatives at a fraction of the logistical weight and fragility cost.
🥫 Large-Format Easy-Open Cans
Industrial food processing and commercial canning operations transitioning from metal to PET can formats. This two stage blow molding machine's incision-free forming mechanism produces the can profile in the blow mold itself — no post-process cutting required — making it the technically cleanest path to large-format PET can production available on a commercially proven platform.
🧴 Industrial Liquid Containers
Food-safe industrial liquids — vinegar concentrates, soy sauce base, cooking wine — in bulk supply formats. The PC and PCTG resin compatibility of this plastic blow molding machine extends the application range beyond standard PET food contact into materials with specific chemical resistance or clarity requirements that industrial liquid packaging sometimes demands.
💊 Institutional Pharmaceutical Jars
Large-count tablet, capsule, or powder containers for hospital pharmacy, veterinary, and industrial supplement supply. PETG and PC material compatibility, combined with the dimensional precision that this fully automatic blow moulding machine delivers, meets the surface finish and dimensional tolerance requirements that institutional pharmaceutical packaging demands.
How to Choose the Right Blow Molding Machine for Large-Format Food Containers
The EP-HGA.ES-2C260 is the appropriate specification when your container programme satisfies at least three of the following conditions: neck diameter above 110 mm; container volume above 5,000 ml; container height above 350 mm; a requirement for dual-cavity output without scaling to four cavities; or a specific need for incision-free easy-open can production in jumbo container formats. If your neck diameter is below 110 mm and volume below 5,000 ml, the dual-cavity standard or wide models within this series offer better per-unit economics. If throughput above 900 bph is required at jumbo container dimensions, contact the technical team directly — container geometry at this scale requires individual assessment before a machine recommendation can be made.
When comparing blow molding machine manufacturers for large-format applications, three technical points are commonly under-scrutinised. The first is preform holder count relative to cycle time: at 42 holders and 900 bph, this machine's oven dwell time per preform is calibrated to the thermal mass of a large wide-neck preform. A competing machine with more holders and a faster cycle rate may not provide adequate dwell time for the preform weight your container requires. Second is blowing pressure: the 35 kg/cm² specification — and particularly the 16,000 ltr/min high-pressure consumption — requires a proportionally sized and properly specified oil-free air compressor installation. Undersizing the compressor is the single most common commissioning failure on large-format blow molding machine installations. Third is floor loading: 7,500 kg machine weight on a footprint of 5,570 × 2,090 mm concentrates significant load. Confirm structural floor capacity before site preparation begins.
For export markets including Colombia, Brazil, Australia, and the UK, electrical specification — supply voltage, phase configuration, and protective earth standard — is confirmed and configured at the factory prior to shipment. This removes the single most common cause of delayed commissioning on imported blow molding machine for sale transactions, where field electrical rework adds time and cost that factory configuration eliminates entirely.

Over two decades of focused engineering in blow molding machine technology have built a manufacturing operation that controls quality from raw material to finished machine. Our in-house CNC machining centre handles every precision component — main frame platens, stretching rod assemblies, preform holder tracks, and mold clamping mechanisms — to tolerances that cannot be maintained through subcontracted machining chains. This level of vertical integration is the reason our machines perform to specification from the first production shift after commissioning, without the extended tuning period that widely subcontracted machine designs typically require.
Our engineering teams have commissioned blow molding machine installations across food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic packaging operations on six continents. The field knowledge accumulated through those commissionings — what breaks, what needs adjustment, what operator training must cover, and what auxiliary equipment specification matters most — flows back into each successive generation of machine design. The EP-HGA.ES-2C260 blow molding machine carries design refinements that originated from direct observation of large-format container production in real customer facilities.

คำถามที่พบบ่อย
Q1. What type of fully automatic blow moulding machine is best suited for producing large-format edible oil containers and bulk food jars for food service markets in Colombia and Brazil?
For large-format edible oil containers and bulk food jars in the 5,000–15,000 ml range, the dual-cavity extra-large model in this series is the appropriate specification. Its 168 mm maximum neck diameter, 240 mm maximum body diameter, and 450 mm maximum container height cover the dimensional envelope of standard bulk food service container formats used across Colombia and Brazil. The machine is configured to destination market electrical standards from the factory, removing on-site electrical rework from the commissioning process.
Q2. How does the two-step blow molding process handle thick-walled wide-neck preforms for jumbo food container production without causing surface defects?
Wide-neck preforms for large containers have substantially higher wall mass than standard beverage preforms, and heating them evenly to orientation temperature through a thick cross-section requires careful management of oven lamp intensity, zone distribution, and dwell time. In this two-step blow molding machine, the preform holder count — 42 in this model — is calibrated against the machine's cycle rate to ensure each preform spends adequate time in the oven. Zone-controlled infrared lamp banks direct energy at specific preform height segments rather than heating uniformly, which would overheat the outer surface before the inner wall reaches orientation temperature.
Q3. Which automatic pet blowing machine specification should a food processing company in Australia consider when transitioning from metal cans to large-format PET packaging?
For an Australian food processing company transitioning from metal to PET can formats at the larger end of the size range — 3 litre to 15 litre — this model's incision-free can forming mechanism is the critical specification. It produces easy-open can geometry within the blow mold itself, eliminating the secondary trimming station that conventional can-to-PET conversion projects typically require. The container meets Australian food contact standards when produced from food-grade PET or PETG resin. The blow molding machine's dual-cavity configuration at 900 bph is appropriate for Australian food processing operations where production volumes are typically lower than equivalent Asian markets but product quality and container consistency requirements are equally stringent.
Q4. What compressed air system specification does a large-format bottle blow molding machine require, and how should food packaging plant managers plan for this utility demand?
This blow molding machine requires high-pressure compressed air at 35 kg/cm² with a consumption of 16,000 ltr/min under dual-cavity production conditions — the highest consumption figure in this machine series. Planning for this demand requires an oil-free compressor installation sized to the upper consumption limit, not the midpoint, to ensure the machine is never air-supply constrained during peak production periods. The low-pressure circuit at 7 kg/cm² and 1,200 ltr/min is supplied by a separate lower-pressure compressor stage. The machine's integrated air recovery system returns residual high-pressure air from inside the formed containers back to the low-pressure circuit after each cycle, providing meaningful net consumption savings that partially offset the scale of the high-pressure demand.
Q5. How do pet blowing machine manufacturers ensure dimensional consistency between the two cavities on a large-format dual-cavity blow molding machine across extended production runs?
Dimensional consistency between cavities on a dual-cavity large-format blow molding machine depends on three controlled variables: platen parallelism under clamping force, matched cooling water temperature across both mold halves, and identical preform temperature at the blowing station entry point for both cavity positions. The platen parallelism is a manufacturing tolerance — precision-machined and verified at the factory; it does not drift in service under normal operating conditions. Cooling water temperature balance between cavities requires a Mold Temperature Controller when tight tolerances are specified, particularly for PP resin where mold temperature has a stronger influence on container geometry than for PET.
