AOKI Replacement ISBM Machines – Model Comparison & Compatible Alternatives

Yes. Ever-Power replacement ISBM machines are designed with AOKI mold compatibility in mind. In most cases, your existing AOKI molds, neck finishes, and cavity layouts can be transferred directly to our platforms. Final confirmation requires review of your mold drawings and a sample bottle, but our engineering team has extensive experience matching AOKI tooling geometry.

Yes. The Ever-Power HGY200-V4-B (B Series) and HGY200-V3 (3-Station) are the recommended replacement platforms for the AOKI SBIII-250LL-50S. Both machines match the clamping force, injection capacity, and blow stroke required for SBIII-250LL-50S tooling. We can also upgrade you to servo-driven systems for improved cycle control and energy efficiency.

In most cases, no modification is required. Ever-Power ISBM platforms are engineered to accept standard AOKI mold interfaces, including mounting patterns, hot-runner connections, and blow-pin geometry. If any minor adjustments are needed, our technical team provides detailed guidance and can supervise the modification at your facility or through our partner network.

Yes. A 4-station Ever-Power machine can typically run tooling originally designed for a 3-station AOKI machine. The additional station provides flexibility for future mold expansion or process optimization. Our control system allows you to configure the machine for 3-station or 4-station operation depending on your current tooling setup and production requirements.

To confirm full compatibility, we need: (1) your AOKI machine model and serial number from the nameplate, (2) mold drawings or cavity layout diagrams, (3) sample bottles with neck-finish specifications, (4) resin type and preform weight, and (5) target production output. You can upload these details through our contact form or send them directly to [email protected].

Yes. Ever-Power offers pre-shipment mold trial services at our factory in China. You can ship your existing AOKI mold to us, and we will run production trials on the replacement machine using your actual tooling and resin. We provide video documentation, dimensional reports, and cycle-time data so you can verify performance before the machine leaves our facility.

Our ISBM platforms process all standard stretch-blow-grade resins including PET, PETG, PP, PC, PLA, and PEN. We also support specialty materials and recycled-content resins. The injection unit and hot-runner system can be configured for your specific material viscosity and processing temperature window.

Customers typically report 25% to 45% energy savings when upgrading from a legacy AOKI hydraulic machine to an Ever-Power servo-driven ISBM platform. The exact figure depends on your current machine age, hydraulic pump efficiency, and production cycle. Our full-servo EV series eliminates hydraulic power units entirely, maximizing energy efficiency.

Yes. Every AOKI replacement project includes on-site installation supervision, mechanical and electrical commissioning, and comprehensive operator training. Our technicians will remain at your facility until the machine is producing qualified bottles at target cycle time. Training covers machine operation, mold changeover, process optimization, and routine maintenance.

From order confirmation to production startup, a typical AOKI replacement project takes 14 to 20 weeks. This includes machine manufacturing (10-14 weeks), ocean freight (3-5 weeks), and on-site installation and commissioning (1-2 weeks). If you require pre-shipment mold trials, add 2-3 weeks. We can also arrange air freight for urgent projects.

Yes. Ever-Power works with a network of certified mold manufacturers to supply new ISBM molds alongside your replacement machine. Whether you need a direct replica of your existing AOKI mold or a new design with additional cavities or lightweighting features, we can manage the complete mold engineering, manufacturing, and qualification process.

Standard auxiliary equipment includes a resin dryer, chiller for mold temperature control, and high-pressure air compressor for blow molding. If you already have these from your AOKI line, they can usually be reused. We provide a complete auxiliary equipment specification sheet with each quotation and can supply integrated turnkey packages if needed.

In most cases, yes — and often we can improve it. Ever-Power servo-driven ISBM platforms offer faster injection response, optimized blow profiles, and precise temperature control that can reduce cycle time by 5% to 15% compared with older AOKI hydraulic machines. We benchmark your current cycle during the compatibility review and set clear performance targets.

Yes. We provide replacement machines and technical support for the entire AOKI SB, SBII, and SBIII series. Whether you are running an early SB model or a later SBIII-100L / SBIII-250LL, we have a compatible Ever-Power platform. We also maintain a database of AOKI machine specifications dating back to the 1980s to ensure accurate replacement matching.
