Quick Mold Change Extrusion Blow Molding Machine, 30 Minute Changeover

Changeover time is the hidden capacity of any blow molding plant. A machine that needs half a day to swap a mould loses a shift every time the order book changes, and buyers with mixed container sizes end up quoting longer lead times than their competitors.

The MP100FD uses a quick clamping system with stored recipes, so a mould change from a 100 litre drum to a 20 litre jerry can is typically completed in under 30 minutes by two people, including the first article weight check.

• 30 minute mould change: Quick clamping plus stored recipes turn a changeover into a routine task rather than a project
• PLC recipe recall: Temperatures, timing, clamp force and blow pressure return with the mould, not from memory
• 400-800 mm opening stroke: Deep drum moulds and shallow can moulds both fit the same platen without spacers
• Standard mould interfaces: Platen mounting and locating features follow common patterns so third party moulds fit
• Mould thickness 150-350 mm: Wide range covers the tooling most plants already own
• Trained handover: Commissioning includes a documented changeover procedure for the buyer's team

• Plants running several container sizes per week
• Contract moulders with short order runs
• Private label packaging with frequent design changes
• Moulding shops handling 5L to 100L ranges
• Production cells covering drums, cans and tanks

A: Mould out, mould in, clamping, recipe recall, temperature stabilisation start and first article weight check. Large moulds with heavy cores can take longer, which is why we time the changeover with your tooling during commissioning and record the real figure.

A: A mould cart at platen height and a hoist are the practical essentials. We specify the trolley with the machine so moulds are not manhandled, which is both faster and safer.

A: Platen mounting and locating follow common industry patterns, and we review drawings of existing moulds before order so any adaptor plate is quoted up front rather than discovered at installation.

The machine ships in a fumigation-free export wooden case with steel reinforcement and VCI anti-rust film, with the quick clamp components individually protected. Delivery is 30 to 45 working days after deposit. ISO 9001:2015 and CE certification, 48 hour pre-delivery run, 12 month warranty and documented changeover training are included.
