BLOW MOLDING

Product Overview

IBM 50H integrates injection molding, blow molding and bottle take-off in a rotary production process. Bottle geometry, resin and mold configuration determine the final production setup.

Applications

Typical catalogue applications include pharmaceutical bottles, eye-drop containers, cosmetic packaging, food containers and wide-mouth jars. The examples below show application types; bottle dimensions and mold requirements must match the selected machine.

Injection Blow Molding Features

• Injection and blow molding are integrated in one machine, with rotary transfer through injection, blowing and bottle take-off stations.
• Accurately molded bottle necks and threads support a range of closure and sealing designs.
• Smooth parting lines and controlled bottle geometry support consistent surface appearance.
• Multi-cavity molds accommodate different bottle sizes; tooling is selected for the required bottle and output.
• Bottle weight, wall thickness and volume can be controlled through the preform and mold design.
• An accessible mold area supports tooling changes and production changeovers.
• The catalogue lists HDPE, LDPE, PE, PP, PS and EVA applications; select the resin and tooling for the intended container.

Electro-Hydraulic Servo System

• An electro-hydraulic hybrid servo system coordinates motor output, hydraulic flow and pressure with machine demand.
• A servo motor drives rotary-table movement for repeatable transfer between molding stations.
• Double beams, four tie bars and a clamping cylinder below the rotary table provide space for mold movement.
• Auxiliary cylinders handle mold opening and closing, while the main clamping arrangement applies balanced locking force.
• The hydraulic assembly combines a servo motor, servo drive, pump and precision control interface.
• Digitally controlled melt backpressure supports convenient and repeatable process adjustment.

The catalogue cites an energy-saving reference of 40%. Compare energy use under the intended bottle, resin, mold and operating conditions.

Technical Specifications

Dry-cycle values describe unloaded machine movement. The production cycle depends on the container, resin, mold and process settings.

Mold Cavity Reference

Indicative catalogue examples only. Final cavity count depends on bottle design, material and mold configuration; confirm tooling for the intended container.
