Bottle Blowing Machine:
Working Principle
Our bottle blowing machine transforms PET preforms into finished bottles through a precision process. First, the preform is evenly heated and softened using an infrared heating system. It is then transferred to a blow mold where high-pressure air is injected, causing the preform to expand and conform perfectly to the mold's inner contours. After a controlled cooling and shaping phase, a durable, high-quality bottle is produced.
Core Components
The machine integrates several key systems for reliable operation:
Preform Heating & Conveying System
Blow Mold
Stretch Blow Molding Unit
Cooling System (with Chiller)
Compressed Air System (Air Compressor, Storage Tank, Refrigerated Dryer, and Air Filter)

3-in-1 Bottle Washing, Filling & Capping Machine for Carbonated Drinks:
This integrated machine combines rinsing, precision filling, and capping into one seamless, efficient unit, specifically engineered for carbonated beverage production.
1. Isobaric Filling Principle
Our system employs a precise isobaric filling method for carbonated drinks. After the filling valve seals the bottle mouth, CO₂ gas is first introduced to equalize the pressure inside the bottle with that in the beverage tank. The liquid then flows smoothly into the bottle by gravity. This process prevents foaming and overflow caused by pressure differentials, ensuring consistent carbonation levels and high filling accuracy.
2. Integrated Three-Stage Process
Rinsing: Utilizes high-pressure sterile water or steam to thoroughly and rapidly clean the interior of each empty bottle, effectively removing dust particles and microorganisms.
Filling: Precisely injects the carbonated beverage via the pressure-balancing system, achieving a high fill-level accuracy of ≤ ±1%.
Capping: Automatically applies and tightens caps with an adjustable torque mechanism, ensuring a secure seal for various cap materials.
3. Application Scenarios
Beverages: Ideal for carbonated drinks such as cola, soda, sparkling water, and beer.
Containers: Compatible with both PET and glass bottles.
4. Complete Workflow
The machine integrates perfectly into your production line: Bottles from the blowing machine are conveyed in, then sequentially undergo Rinsing → CO₂ Pre-Pressurization → Isobaric Filling → Pressure Exhaustion → Capping, before being output as sealed, finished products.
Also known as a tunnel pasteurizer, this machine is essential for ensuring a dry, label-ready bottle surface after cold filling. When bottles filled with beverages at approximately 4°C encounter ambient air, significant condensation forms on the exterior. The Bottle Warming Tunnel gently heats these bottles to room temperature (typically 30-35°C), effectively eliminating condensation to facilitate smooth subsequent labeling and coding operations.
Working Principle
Operating as a tunnel-style spray system, the machine heats bottles through heat exchange from circulating hot water sprays. This ensures uniform and gentle warming of the entire container.

Film Packaging Machine (Shrink Wrapping System):
This machine efficiently bundles individual bottles into secure, stable multi-packs for easy handling and distribution. It seamlessly integrates into the end of your production line.
Operating Principle
The system consists of four main sections: conveyance, bottle grouping, film cutting/sealing, and a heat tunnel. With its wide inlet, it connects directly to your line's conveyor. Bottles are organized into groups by guiding plates and fed into the wrapping stage. Once a group is wrapped in film, it moves into the electrically heated shrinking furnace. The heat evenly shrinks the film to form a tight, tamper-evident package. For larger-scale operations, a palletizer or stretch wrapper can be added downstream.
Film Customization
The film width is fully customized to match your specific bottle grouping arrangement. While any formation is possible, common configurations include 3x4 (12 bottles) and 4x6 (24 bottles) packs.
Available Types
We offer various models to meet different needs, including:
Standard machines using transparent film.
Machines compatible with pre-printed colored films for enhanced branding.
Models equipped with integrated bottom trays for added stability.
