Global PET Blow Moulder Market - 2021-2028
PET Blow Moulder Market Overview
Blow molding is a process that involves the inflation of a hollow, hot, thermoplastic parison or performs within a closed mold so that its shape adapts to the form of the mold cavity. This process is generally used to manufacture plastic and glass bottles apart from other food containers. The popularity of the global PET blow molder market is due to the increasing consumption rates of packaged foods & beverages across the world. Thus, the food and beverage industry is raising its PET blow molders to meet this growing demand. While PET is pretty good at self-leveling (the strain-hardening impact that compels initially warmer areas to blow out after more excellent areas have blown), this impact is not significant enough to mask the excess perform heat. A variety of measures have been used over the years with varying success.
Moreover, the production of PET containers needs injection molding of preforms & subsequent stretching and blowing of these into bottles. Both operations can be merged in one machine (the single-stage process) or two (the two-stage process). Both methods have their distinct advantages & disadvantages, and bottle producers & brand owners would be well notified to know those to make the right choice for their products.
Today, more than 80% of all bottles produced are for beverages, and the massive majority of these are made using two-stage technology. It is the remaining 15% to 20% where either process is an option. Tool prices drive many decisions. Buying even a four-cavity single-stage tool can be difficult to justify for volumes of fewer than 2 million/year, which numerous of the custom applications are. There is less capital investment involved to buy preforms and run them on a two-cavity reheat machine. The amount of available preforms has increased dramatically over the last ten years with suppliers spanning the globe because preforms, unlike bottles, are cost-effective to ship.
The global PET blow moulder market is estimated to reach US$ XX million by 2028 from the recorded market size of worth US$ XX million in 2020, growing at a CAGR of XX% during the forecast period (2021-2028).

Moreover, increasing demand for stretch blow molded products in different industries boost the PET stretch blow molding machines market.
Single Stage Blow Molding Machine
While PET bottle expansion was proceeding in the US, a large company of injection molding machines in Japan led a expect to develop a machine to make biaxially oriented PP containers. They noticed that the prototype machine could be utilized to produce the new PET bottles. All one-stage injection stretches blow molding machines derived from this original Stretch Blow design are referred to as classic one-stage machines, as the concept has long since been extended into other PET developments. The classic one-stage machine design is highly versatile in that the same basic machine design can be used to make a wide variety of bottles and jars in all shapes and sizes.
The advantages of single-stage are:
• Blemish-free bottles
• Transferring not necessary
• Thread start can be chosen to match with bottle shape
• Control over-perform production
• Compact and flexible
• Good conditioning probabilities for oblong bottles on some machines
Two-Stage Blow Molding Machine
In the early advancements, performs were made by continuously extruding a PET tube. To make these reforms, a perform manufacturing machine took a continuously extruded PET tube, heated and closed one end, heated the other and formed a thread finish by blow molding. This method had a more active output rate, at 12000 preforms per hour than the early injection molding routes of 8 and 16 cavity molds. Being extruded, the effects could be multilayered with barrier materials. The system was passed by injection molded performs as the cavitation increased to 32 and beyond. The injection-molded (IM) neck, adding, for instance, vent slots, made the IM finish preferable.
Moreover, IM technology is prepared by more than one company, giving customers more excellent technical and commercial choices. Two-stage technology machines with six blow molds operating at around 4000 bottles per hour. Subsequent mold and cooling development increased the output to 6000 bottles per hour.
