One Step Blow Molding Machine HGY200-V4-B: The AOKI-250 Compatible Heavy-Duty ISBM Solution
Engineered by Ever-power | 4-Station Precision | 300KN Injection Clamping | 250KN Blow Clamping
Engineering Overview: Breaking the Mold Compatibility Barrier
In my two decades of optimizing polymer processing lines, the most common bottleneck I’ve encountered isn’t cycle time—it’s tooling flexibility. Many manufacturers are locked into expensive ecosystems. The HGY200-V4-B is Ever-power’s strategic answer to this challenge. This is a heavy-duty, 4-station One Step Blow Molding Machine specifically engineered to be fully compatible with Japanese AOKI-250 molds.
This machine is a powerhouse. Unlike standard 4-station units, the V4-B variant is reinforced to handle massive cavitation (up to 12 cavities for small vials) and heavy-weight containers. It boasts a 300KN Injection Clamping Force and an upgraded 250KN Blow Clamping Force (higher than the standard V4’s 200KN). This additional clamping power allows for the production of wide-mouth jars and thick-walled cosmetic containers without parting line expansion or flash, even when using materials with high viscosity like PC or PCTG. It is the ultimate One Step PET Bottle Machine for manufacturers seeking to expand capacity using their existing high-value Japanese tooling.

4-Station Process Principle: The ISBM Advantage
The ISBM Blow Molding Machine maximizes quality by controlling the polymer’s thermal history. The HGY200-V4-B employs a 4-station rotary table layout, ensuring that the preform is conditioned to the exact optimal temperature before stretching.
1. Injection Station
PET/PCTG is injected into the cavity. The 300KN clamping force is critical here, allowing for high-pressure injection needed for precision necks and thin-wall preforms without flash.
2. Conditioning Station
The “Heart” of the 4-station process. The preform is thermally equalized. We can heat the core or cool the skin, creating the perfect profile for difficult shapes like oval bottles or off-center necks.
3. Stretch & Blow
A stretch rod extends the preform axially, while air expands it radially. The upgraded 250KN Blow Clamping Force ensures the mold stays shut under high pressure, eliminating parting lines.
4. Ejection
The finished container is stripped from the lip mold. The HGY200-V4-B features an extended take-out stroke (175mm) to accommodate taller bottles (up to 280mm).
Why Choose the HGY200-V4-B? Core Advantages
- ✓
AOKI-250 Mold Compatibility: This is the defining feature. We have engineered the platen dimensions, tie-bar spacing, and stroke lengths to perfectly match the AOKI-250. You can run your legacy molds immediately. - ✓
Superior Clamping Power: With 300KN Injection and 250KN Blow clamping, this machine outperforms standard market alternatives, ensuring flash-free production of heavy-weight jars. - ✓
Energy Dynamics: We use Nano-far-infrared heating rings (15KW) which penetrate the barrel deeper and faster than standard ceramic heaters, saving ~30% on heating costs. - ✓
Versatility: From 12-cavity eye drop vials to 4-cavity 750ml sport bottles, the machine adapts. The increased bottle height allowance (280mm) opens up new market segments.
Strategic Analysis: One-Step vs. Two-Step Systems
| Comparison Dimension | Ever-power One-Step ISBM | Traditional Two-Step (Reheat) |
|---|---|---|
| Process Flow | Resin -> Bottle (Integrated) | Resin -> Preform -> Cool -> Reheat -> Bottle |
| Energy Efficiency | High (Uses latent injection heat) | Low (Wastes energy reheating preforms) |
| Surface Quality | Flawless (No scuffing/scratches) | Risk of transport scratches on preforms |
| Applicable Materials | PET, PETG, PC, Tritan, PPSU, PP | Mostly limited to PET/PP |
| Space Requirement | Compact (One machine) | Large (Requires Injection unit + Blow unit + Storage) |
| Scrap Rate | Low (Closed loop feedback) | Higher (Preform defects + Blow defects) |
Industry Applications
High-End Cosmetics
The One Step Injection Blow Molding process is the only way to achieve glass-like clarity for thick-walled cosmetic jars. The HGY200-V4-B’s 250KN blow clamp eliminates the “parting line visibility” issue common in lower-end machines.
Pharmaceuticals
From 20ml eye drop vials (12 cavities) to 500ml syrup bottles. The touchless “pellet-to-bottle” process guarantees ISO-standard hygiene levels.
Tritan™ & Sports Bottles
Tritan and PC require precise temperature control to avoid hazing. Our 4-station conditioning allows for exact thermal profiling to maintain the clarity of these expensive resins.
Power System Selection Summary: Ever-power vs. AOKI/ASB
We respect the Japanese pioneers. However, Ever-power offers a compelling alternative: 95% of the performance at 60% of the investment cost.
The Ever-power Guarantee: The HGY200-V4-B isn’t a “cheap copy.” It uses the same Yaskawa servos, Parker valves, and NSK screws. We simply optimize the manufacturing overhead.
ROI Case: Cosmetic Jar Manufacturer
Switching from purchasing preforms to an in-house One Step Blow Molding Equipment setup:
- Tooling Savings: If you already own AOKI-250 molds, you save $30,000-$50,000 immediately by not needing new molds.
- Material Savings: Pellet cost is ~25% lower than preform cost.
- Payback Period: With existing molds, the ROI is often achieved in under 10 months.
