The mineral water bottles, laundry detergent buckets, and plastic car bottles we use every day are mostly made using extrusion blow molding machines. However, many companies producing these products often encounter difficulties: not knowing which machine to choose, excessive material waste during production, and frequent machine failures. They spend a lot of money but struggle to improve efficiency.
We specialize in machinery export and have helped many companies select and use extrusion blow molding machines. We understand their pain points. Today, we'll explain in simple terms how to choose and use machines to save money, minimize failures, and ensure smoother production and higher profits.
Choose the Right Machine: Don't Waste Money or Buy Machines You Can't Use
Choosing the right machine is the first step; making the wrong choice can lead to numerous problems down the road. We've seen many companies either buy machines that are too good and don't use their features, resulting in wasted money, or buy machines that are inadequate and can't keep up with production. In fact, following the three steps below will almost always work.
(1) Choose a machine based on your desired product.
Different products require different machines:
For small bottles (such as mineral water bottles or small laundry detergent bottles): It's crucial that the machine can maintain uniform wall thickness. Otherwise, thin areas can easily break, while thick areas waste material. The machines we recommend offer precise wall thickness control and high production speeds, eliminating the need to rush orders.
For large barrels (such as 20-liter chemical barrels or water storage barrels): The machine must be powerful enough to firmly "press" the plastic into the mold, preventing it from leaking. Furthermore, it can squeeze out more plastic at a time, making barrel production significantly more efficient than standard machines. If you're packaging corrosive substances (such as acids or alkalis), you can replace the machine with corrosion-resistant parts for extended life.
For specialized products (such as automotive plastic parts or pharmaceutical bottles): Auto parts must withstand high and low temperatures, surviving winter freezes and summer sun cracks. Pharmaceutical bottles must be clean and hygienic, meeting national regulations. We have specialized machines for these products that meet these requirements.
(2) Choose the size based on your volume
Don't listen to manufacturers' claims about "this machine's maximum capacity." Choose based on your actual order volume. For example, if you need to produce 500,000 small bottles per month, choose a machine that can handle the job normally every day. Don't buy a large machine, as it'll waste electricity when idle.
It doesn't matter if your orders fluctuate. Our machines can adjust their speed: during peak season, we run faster; during off-season, we run slower. This can save significant electricity daily and, in the long run, significantly reduce your electricity bills.
(3) When purchasing machines internationally, these services are essential.
Many companies purchase machines from overseas, and their biggest concern is the lack of repair options and the difficulty in replacing parts if the machine breaks down. We have warehouses in Southeast Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. Commonly used parts (such as seals and heating coils) can be shipped at any time, arriving within 3-7 days. If there are any problems with the machine, our engineers are available 24/7 and can provide video tutorials. For complex issues, we can visit your location within 48 hours. We also provide instruction on how to operate the machine. Manuals are available in several languages, including Chinese, English, and Spanish, so you don't have to worry about misunderstandings.
