EP-HGS150A Semi-Automatic PET Blow Molding Machine — 1L, Single Cavity

Two Mold-Locking Options

The HGS150A is available in piston-type pneumatic linkage or cylinder hinge locking configurations. Piston-type is suited to standard round bottle geometries; cylinder hinge is preferred for containers with more complex mold profiles. Specify your bottle geometry and mold requirement when enquiring — our engineering team will confirm the correct locking configuration.

Digital Infrared Preform Heater

The HGS150A requires a separate preform heater (HGJ series) to pre-heat preforms before loading into the blow station. The heater is a separate unit — not integrated into the machine body. This is standard for all HGS semi-automatic machines. The correct heater model depends on your bottle neck diameter: HGJ-B for wide-mouth jars, HGJ-CL for standard narrow-neck bottles.

Smallest Footprint in the HGS Series

At 1,400×500×1,500mm and 400kg, the HGS150A is the most compact machine in the semi-automatic HGS line-up — occupying less than 1m² of floor space. This makes it suitable for installation in existing production spaces with limited floor area, or alongside other equipment without requiring facility modification.

Fast Mold Changeover for Multi-SKU Production

The HGS150A’s single-cavity manual configuration enables faster mold changeover than multi-cavity automatic machines — an advantage for contract packagers and brands producing many bottle shapes and sizes in small runs. Switching between bottle formats requires only a mold set change and parameter adjustment on the digital control panel.

Single-Phase 220V Power Supply

The HGS150A operates on 220V/50Hz single-phase power — the standard domestic supply in most markets. No three-phase industrial power connection is required, reducing installation complexity and enabling operation in facilities without dedicated industrial electrical infrastructure. This is particularly relevant for startups and small operations establishing their first production line.

Multi-Industry Application Coverage

At 1 litre maximum and 100–150mm mold size, the HGS150A covers the standard small-format bottle range across cosmetics, daily chemical, pharmaceutical, food, and beverage categories. The machine is compatible with PET and PETG resins and produces bottles meeting food-grade and pharmaceutical-grade hygiene requirements when operated with appropriate resin and tooling.

Application: 100ml, 250ml, and 500ml PET cosmetic bottles for a Kuala Lumpur-based cosmetic startup producing private-label skincare and haircare products for local retail and e-commerce distribution.

Problem solved: The startup needed in-house bottle production capability at low initial capital outlay, with the flexibility to switch between three bottle formats across their product range. The HGS150A covered all three sizes from one machine, with mold changeover between formats taking under two hours — enabling the startup to manage their own packaging supply without committing to a fully automatic line before volume justified it.

“Three sizes, one machine, under two hours to switch. The HGS150A gave us in-house packaging control from day one without the capital commitment of a full auto line. We scaled into it.”

Application: 60ml, 120ml, and 500ml PET pharmaceutical syrup and liquid medicine bottles for a Manila-based pharmaceutical packaging company serving registered pharmaceutical brands.

Problem solved: The packager needed a low-volume dedicated line for pharmaceutical bottle formats that were produced in quantities too small to justify a fully automatic machine. The HGS150A operated as a secondary line alongside their main automatic equipment, handling small-batch pharmaceutical orders where minimum order quantities were below the economic threshold for automatic production scheduling.

“Small pharma orders don’t fit automatic scheduling minimums. The HGS150A runs those batches profitably without disrupting the main line. It pays for itself in scheduling flexibility.”

Application: Sample and pre-production run PET bottles across cosmetic, food, and household chemical categories for a Ho Chi Minh City packaging facility serving brand clients requiring sample bottles before committing to full production tooling.

Problem solved: Brand clients required physical bottle samples in the correct PET material and finish before approving production tooling investment. The HGS150A enabled the facility to produce small sample runs of 100–500 bottles per client request at commercially viable cost, accelerating client approval cycles and reducing the time from concept to production tooling sign-off.

“Clients need real PET samples before they sign off on tooling. The HGS150A gives us that at 100–500 bottles — not minimum-order quantities. It shortened our client approval cycle from months to weeks.”
