EP-HGA.FS-1CG220 Widest Single-Cavity Wide-Mouth Automatic PET Blow Molding Machine — 5000ml, 1 Cavity, Maximum-Diameter Wide-Mouth Jar

220mm — Widest Single-Cavity Mold Platform

The 220mm blow mold close is the widest available in a single-cavity automatic RSBM configuration. This maximum-diameter platform is selected for containers whose neck or body specification reaches the upper bound of what any single-cavity automatic wide-mouth RSBM machine can produce. For containers that fit within the 196mm FS-1CG196 envelope, the FS-1CG196 is typically the more economical selection — the FS-1CG220 is chosen when 220mm is specifically required.

Maximum-Diameter Protein Powder Jar Production

The FS-1CG220 is the correct selection for the widest protein powder jar neck openings — those above the range that the FS-1CG196 can accommodate — including very wide-mouth drum-style supplement containers, gallon-jar equivalents in PET, and custom protein powder packaging where the jar diameter specification exceeds standard sizes. Commercial nutrition brands offering large-format supplement tubs in custom PET packaging use the FS-1CG220 platform for their widest-diameter SKUs.

Food & Wide-Mouth Jar Cross-Category Coverage

Beyond protein powder, the FS-1CG220 covers wide-mouth food packaging applications at the maximum-diameter end of the jar format — bulk food ingredient containers, wide-mouth condiment and preserve jars requiring jar-format access, large-volume food service packaging in PET, and specialty food packaging formats where the container’s wide-mouth specification is driven by the product’s physical characteristics (powders, granules, chunks) rather than dispensing mechanism.

Upgrade Path to FS-2CG220 Dual-Cavity

The FS-2CG220 dual-cavity model shares the 220mm mold close dimension of the FS-1CG220. Buyers who establish production on the FS-1CG220 and later require higher output can upgrade to the FS-2CG220 using compatible mold tooling — subject to plate dimension and guide pin compatibility confirmation with our engineering team. The 220mm mold-close standard is the common platform connecting these two models in the FS series.

Food-Grade Process Compliance

Zero hand-contact production cycle from preform loading to finished jar discharge. PET produced on the FS-1CG220 using approved food-grade PET resin meets FDA 21 CFR and EU 10/2011 food-contact compliance requirements — a baseline requirement for protein powder, food supplement, and food ingredient packaging in regulated markets globally.

Extended Multi-Zone Heating for Large Preforms

Large-format wide-mouth jars at 5,000ml require the longest and heaviest preforms in the FS series. The FS-1CG220’s extended infrared heating zone with multi-section digital PLC control achieves the consistent temperature gradient from neck to base required to produce uniform wall thickness across the very large blown jar body — critical for container integrity, stackability, and shelf presence at maximum-diameter jar sizes.

Application: 2,000ml and 5,000ml maximum-diameter wide-mouth PET protein powder jars for a UK sports nutrition OEM supplying private-label and own-brand products to gym retail and online channels across the UK and EU.

Problem solved: The OEM’s 5,000ml commercial-pack jar specification required a neck and body diameter that exceeded the FS-1CG196 capability. The FS-1CG220’s 220mm mold close accommodated the maximum-diameter 5,000ml jar specification, enabling the OEM to offer commercial-pack PET containers at a price point that displaced HDPE drum packaging for their gym-distribution clients.

“The 5,000ml commercial jar diameter was too wide for the 196. The 220mm platform was the only automatic option. We displaced HDPE drums with PET commercial-pack jars — that market shift wouldn’t have happened without the FS-1CG220.”

Application: 1,500ml, 2,500ml, and 5,000ml wide-mouth PET jars for protein powder, creatine, and multi-vitamin supplement products for a São Paulo supplement manufacturer distributing across Brazil and export to Colombia and Argentina.

Problem solved: The manufacturer required a single machine that could cover all three jar sizes from 1,500ml to 5,000ml at the same wide-mouth neck opening specification. The FS-1CG196 confirmed feasible for the 1,500ml and 2,500ml sizes but marginal for the 5,000ml diameter specification. The FS-1CG220 covered all three sizes with engineering headroom, and the shared 220mm mold-close standard simplified future tooling for any new SKU additions.

“Three sizes, one machine, one mold-close standard. The 196mm was marginal on the largest size. The 220mm covered all three with room to add SKUs later. That headroom mattered for the investment decision.”

Application: 1,000ml, 2,000ml, and 3,500ml wide-mouth PET jars for quinoa flour, chia seeds, and dried fruit packaging for a Peruvian specialty food export packager serving EU and North American retail channels.

Problem solved: The packager’s 3,500ml quinoa flour jar required a body diameter that exceeded the FS-1CG196’s mold platform. EU retail buyers had specified PET over HDPE for the quinoa and chia product lines on sustainability and transparency grounds — PET being preferred for its recyclability and clarity advantages. The FS-1CG220 produced all three jar sizes with full PET food-grade compliance for EU export.

“EU buyers wanted PET, not HDPE. The jar diameter for the 3,500ml quinoa format needed the 220mm mold platform. The FS-1CG220 delivered EU-compliant food-grade PET on all three sizes — that opened the export channel.”
