One-Step Injection Stretch Blow Molding Machine (4-Station) Y250-V4

Comprehensive Overview of the High-Tonnage Blow Molding Machine

The One-step injection stretch blow molding machine (four-station) Y250-V4 represents the pinnacle of high-tonnage plastic container manufacturing. Engineered as a remarkably robust, industrial-grade blow molding machine, it seamlessly executes raw material melting, preform injection, precise thermal conditioning, and biaxial stretch blowing within a single, uninterrupted cycle. This eliminates the need to reheat cold preforms, preserving the ultimate optical clarity of the plastic.

Constructed upon a massive ~15.5-ton heavy-duty frame, this flagship One-Step Blow Molding Machine is designed to absorb extreme mechanical stresses during continuous 24/7 operations. By delivering a staggering 400KN of injection clamping force alongside 300KN of blowing clamping force, it provides the ultimate platform for transforming PET, PETG, PC, and Tritan into visually stunning, extremely thick-walled, and structurally flawless containers for luxury cosmetics and pharmaceutical applications.

The Y250-V4 maximizes container quality by leveraging a highly synchronized, servo-driven 4-station rotary indexing system. This additional 4th station is the secret to manufacturing highly asymmetrical or extremely thick-walled shapes:

• Station 1: High-Pressure Preform Injection: Driven by energy-saving nano-infrared heaters, resin is rapidly plasticized and injected into the preform mold under an immense 400KN force. This prevents shrinkage and guarantees exact preform weight.
• Station 2: Precision Temperature Conditioning: (The 4-Station Advantage) The still-warm preform enters a dedicated conditioning pot. Here, specialized heating/cooling cores and cavities adjust the preform’s internal and external thermal profile. This corrects any temperature imbalances, enabling perfect stretchability for non-round, flat, or oval bottles.
• Station 3: Biaxial Stretch Blow Molding: Highly accurate servo-driven stretch rods descend to orient the preform axially, while high-pressure air expands it radially. The 300KN blowing clamp firmly seals the mold, guaranteeing an absolute zero-flash parting line.
• Station 4: Automated Ejection: The fully cooled, glass-like container is gently stripped from the core and dropped onto a conveyor belt. This hands-free extraction process entirely eliminates human contamination and surface scratching.

A high-tonnage machine requires equally superior tooling to unlock its full potential. The Y250-V4 is expertly engineered to accommodate highly complex, multi-cavity precision ISBM molds. Our comprehensive engineering solutions extend beyond the machine to deliver meticulously crafted hot-runner tooling:

• Premium Swedish Steel: Core components and cavities are CNC-machined from S136 or Stavax stainless steel, hardened to withstand millions of extreme-pressure cycles without deformation or wear.
• Valve-Gate Hot Runner Systems: Employs highly advanced hot runner controllers with needle valve gates. This entirely eliminates stringing or drooling at the injection point, ensuring a perfectly smooth, crystal-clear bottom on every bottle.
• Conformal Cooling Channels: By utilizing deep, 3D conformal cooling waterways surrounding the cavities, heat is dissipated exponentially faster, drastically reducing the overall cycle time and boosting your daily yield.

Q1: What materials can the Y250-V4 process efficiently?

A: The machine is specifically optimized for highly demanding engineering plastics, including PET, PETG, PC (Polycarbonate), Tritan, and even high-clarity PP.

Q2: How many cavities can this machine support for mass production?

A: For smaller format bottles (e.g., 20ml hotel amenities or eye droppers), the machine’s immense clamping force easily supports high-output molds with up to 14 cavities.

Q3: What is the primary advantage of the 4-station design over a 3-station machine?

A: The additional temperature conditioning station adjusts the preform’s core and surface heat before blowing. This is absolutely critical for producing oval, square, or exceptionally thick-walled containers without thin spots or uneven stretching.

Q4: Do you design and provide custom precision molds along with the machine?

A: Yes, we offer full turnkey solutions. Our in-house engineering team designs and manufactures S136 stainless steel, valve-gated hot runner molds tailored exactly to your 3D container designs.

Q5: What are the exact clamping forces, and why are they so high?

A: The machine boasts 400KN for injection clamping and 300KN for blowing. These massive forces are necessary to ensure that large, multi-cavity molds stay hermetically sealed under high injection pressures, completely eliminating flash.

Q6: How does this heavy-duty machine achieve energy efficiency?

A: It achieves exceptional energy savings by utilizing multiple servo-driven hydraulic pump systems. The servo motors provide maximum power only during dynamic movements and drop to near-zero electricity consumption during static cooling phases.

Q7: Is this machine suitable for manufacturing thick-walled cosmetic jars?

A: Yes, it is the perfect solution. The one-step process prevents surface scratching, and the high injection pressure allows for the dense packing of heavy preforms, resulting in jars that closely resemble luxury glass.

Q8: What is the maximum container volume it can blow?

A: Operating in a single-cavity mold configuration, the Y250-V4 is capable of producing massive containers with volumes up to 2500ml.

Q9: Are the machine’s critical components sourced globally?

A: Yes, to guarantee decades of reliability, we integrate world-class components including Japanese Yaskawa servos, Taiwanese YUKEN hydraulic valves, and American Parker high-pressure pneumatics.

Q10: What kind of training and installation support do you provide?

A: We offer comprehensive Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) prior to shipping, followed by onsite installation, mechanical commissioning, and thorough operational training for your factory staff.
