I Classification according to maximum product volume

MEPER blow molding machines are categorized based on their maximum product volume: 2L, 5L, and 10L.Let's explore the applications for each category:

2L Blow Molding Machines:

Suitable for small to medium-sized products, typically ranging from 50ml to 2 liters.

Applications: Cosmetics containers (e.g., 100ml shampoo bottles), personal care bottles (e.g., 500ml body lotion bottles), single-serve beverage bottles (e.g., 250ml milk bottles).

5L Blow Molding Machines:

Ideal for medium-sized products, typically ranging from 2 to 5 liters.

Applications: Household items (e.g., 4L storage containers), automotive parts (e.g., 4L engine oil bottle), medium-sized liquid dispensers (e.g., 5L detergent bottles).

10L Blow Molding Machines:

Designed for larger products and industrial applications, typically ranging from 5 to 10 liters.

Applications: Chemical drums (e.g., 10L chemical containers),agrochemical bottles (e.g., 8L fertilizer containers), large water storage containers (e.g., 7L water jugs).

Consider the specific product volume and size requirements of your industry when choosing the appropriate blow molding machine category. MEPER machines offer reliable performance and precise production capabilities to meet your specific needs.

II Classification Based on Drive Mode

Blow molding machines can be classified into two main types based on their drive mode: hydraulic and electric. Understanding the operational principles and benefits of each drive mode is crucial when selecting the right machine for your business.

1.Hydraulic Blow Molding Machines:

Hydraulic machines utilize hydraulic power systems to operate the various functions of the blow molding process. These machines offer the following advantages:

Excellent clamping force for handling larger and more complex molds.

High production efficiency and fast cycle times.

Suitable for a wide range of materials, including HDPE, LDPE, and PP.

Notable brands for hydraulic blow molding machines include:

MEPER Machine (e.g., MEPER-MP70FS)   https://mepermachine.com/

Jomar Corporation (e.g., Jomar Hydraulic Machines)  https://jomarcorp.com/

Sidel Group (e.g., SBO Universal) https://www.sidel.com/en

2.Electric Blow Molding Machines:

Electric machines employ electric motors and servo systems for precise control and energy efficiency. They offer the following benefits:

Lower energy consumption and reduced operating costs.

Enhanced accuracy and repeatability in the production process.

Quieter operation and lower environmental impact.

Notable brands for electric blow molding machines include:

Kautex Maschinenbau (e.g., KBB series)  https://www.kautex-group.com/

Nissei ASB Machine Co., Ltd. (e.g., ASB-70DPH/DB) https://www.nisseiasb.co.jp/

By understanding the operational principles and advantages of hydraulic and electric blow molding machines, you can make an informed decision when selecting a machine that best suits your production requirements.

III Classification Based on single station and double station

Extrusion blow molding machines can also be categorized based on the number of workstations: single-station and double-station. Understanding the advantages and considerations of each type will help you choose the appropriate workstation configuration for your specific needs.

Single-station machines have one mold and one workstation, where the entire blow molding process takes place. Double-station machines feature two workstations with separate molds, allowing simultaneous production and shorter cycle times.

When the screw is the same, in principle, the output of the double station is 2 times the output of the single station blow molding machine. Single station blow molding machines have lower initial investment and maintenance costs than two-station machines. But considering the demand for increased output in the future, the double station blowing machine is more cost-effective. MEPER MACHINE Through many years of production experience, our customers will generally choose the double station blow molding machine.

IV. Characteristics of Flatbed and Articulated Blow Molding Machines

In the world of blow molding machines, there are two primary types based on the design of their mold carriage system: flatbed and articulated arm.

Flatbed blow molding machines feature a stationary mold mounted on a horizontal platform. The blow molding machines are highly versatile, capable of producing a wide range of products with varying shapes and sizes.They offer easy access to the mold, simplifying maintenance and mold changes.

Articulated blow molding machines offer superior advantages in manufacturing. Their unique design ensures high-quality plastic products. Key features include:

• Strong Clamping Force: Curved arms provide optimal mold closure, resulting in uniform wall thickness and reduced flash formation. Smooth mold closing ensures impeccable product quality.

• Stability and Durability: The single-piece iron plate chassis ensures stability, minimizing vibrations for consistent performance.

• Wide Mold Opening: Curved arm machines accommodate wide-bodied containers like jars and buckets.

• Precise Power Transmission: Sliders and rails enable precise mold positioning and synchronization, ensuring consistent product quality.

When choosing between flatbed and articulated blow molding machines, consider factors such as the size and complexity of your products, production volume, available floor space, and specific industry requirements. By understanding the distinctive characteristics of each type, you can make an informed decision that aligns with your production goals.

V. Characteristics of Blow Molding Machines Based on Mold and Screw Configurations

Blow molding machines can be classified based on the number of molds and screws they possess. Let's explore the characteristics and considerations of different configurations:

Mold Configuration:

a) Single-head Blow Molding Machines:

Characteristics: These machines have a single mold for producing one product at a time.

Advantages: Ideal for small to medium production volumes and simpler product designs.

Considerations: Longer cycle times compared to multi-head machines, suitable for lower production rates.

b) Multi-head Blow Molding Machines (2, 3, 4, 6 heads):

Characteristics: These machines feature multiple molds that enable simultaneous production of multiple products.

Advantages: Increased production efficiency and higher output rates compared to single-head machines.

Considerations: Suitable for larger production volumes and complex product designs, require precise synchronization of mold movements.

Screw Configuration:

a) Single-layer Blow Molding Machines:

These machines have a single screw and are used for producing single-layer products.

b) Multi-layer Blow Molding Machines (2, 4, 6 layers, and view line layer):

These machines feature multiple screws and are capable of producing multi-layer products.Enables the production of multi-layer containers with enhanced properties, such as barrier properties and visual appeal.

The blow molding machine requires precise control of layer thickness and material distribution, suitable for applications requiring specific layer arrangements.

When selecting a blow molding machine based on mold and screw configurations, consider factors such as your product requirements, production volume, material compatibility, and desired product properties.
