BLOW MOLDING MACHINE
A blow molding machine is industrial equipment used to produce hollow plastic containers, such as PET bottles, HDPE bottles, and jars. These machines transform plastic preforms into finished bottles through heat and high-pressure air, making them an essential component of beverage, food, and daily care product packaging lines. At Sunswell, we provide automatic PET blow molding machines and semi-automatic bottle blowing machines that meet global standards. Designed for efficiency, flexibility, and reliability, our machines support bottle sizes from 200ml to 20 liters, serving diverse industry needs.
INDUSTRY APPLICATION
1. Applications of Blow Molding Machines
- Beverages – water, juice, tea, carbonated drinks, beer, liquor, energy drinks.
- Food Products – edible oil, sauces, vinegar, condiments, dairy products.
- Daily Care Products – shampoo, cosmetics, detergent, disinfectant.
- Pharmaceuticals – medicine bottles, syrups, health supplements.
- Industrial Liquids – lubricants, solvents, agrochemicals.
2. How Does a Blow Molding Machine Work?
- Preform Loading – plastic preforms are fed into the heating oven.
- Preform Heating – infrared lamps heat the preforms evenly.
- Stretch-Blow Process – high-pressure air stretches and blows the heated preform into the mold cavity.
- Bottle Ejection – finished bottles are automatically released onto conveyors.
This process ensures consistent quality, precise shape, and durable bottles, suitable for different industries.
