EP-HGA.ES-4C114.3 automatic 4-cavity RSBM blow molding machine 1300ml cosmetic pharmaceutical bottles 114.3mm mold close 3300 bph

Machine Overview

The EP-HGA.ES-4C114.3 is a 4-cavity automatic RSBM machine delivering 3,300 bottles per hour for cosmetic and pharmaceutical containers up to 1,300ml at 94mm maximum body diameter. Functionally, it shares the same output, container envelope, and industry applicability as the ES-4C114 — the two machines are differentiated solely by their blow mold close dimension: 114.3mm on this model versus 114mm on the ES-4C114.

This 0.3mm distinction exists because the global RSBM equipment market uses two closely related mold close standards — 114mm and 114.3mm — that originated from different machine manufacturer tooling conventions. Buyers who have existing mold investments from a previous machine or supplier must confirm which standard their tooling was manufactured to before selecting between these two models. Buyers purchasing a new mold set with this machine do not need to make this distinction — our engineering team will specify the correct tooling for the confirmed machine model.

In all other respects — output rate, container dimensional envelope, industry applications, technical features, energy consumption, and production capabilities — the ES-4C114.3 and the ES-4C114 are equivalent. Buyers without existing mold tooling should select between the two models based on our engineering team’s recommendation following a review of their bottle specification.

Core Technical Features

114.3mm Mold Close — Industry Standard Tooling

The 114.3mm blow mold close is the tooling standard used by a significant share of RSBM machine manufacturers globally, particularly those whose designs trace to European RSBM tooling conventions. Buyers migrating from a previous 114.3mm machine to this model can carry their existing mold investment forward without mold modification — subject to plate dimension and guide pin compatibility confirmation.

3,300 bph at 4 Cavities

Four cavities at 3,300 bph is the standard mid-format 4-cavity output at the 114mm mold-close tier. At 8,000 annual operating hours, this delivers approximately 26.4 million bottles per year — the output scale for established mid-market cosmetic and pharmaceutical brands with dedicated line production requirements at this container size range.

94mm Max Body Diameter

At 94mm maximum body diameter, the ES-4C114.3 covers the standard dimensional ceiling for cosmetic pump bottles in the 500ml–1,300ml segment. This body diameter specification represents the widest body profile achievable within the 114.3mm mold close configuration — covering the full range of standard round cosmetic and pharmaceutical bottle diameters from 52mm up to 94mm at this volume tier.

Servo Drive & Zone-Controlled Heating

Internationally sourced servo motors with digital PLC management and zone-by-zone infrared heating control. The multi-zone heating system is particularly important at 1,300ml format where longer preforms require a precisely profiled temperature gradient from neck to base to achieve consistent wall thickness distribution across the blown container height.

350 / 450mm Dual Stretching Stroke

Both 350mm and 450mm stretching stroke configurations are supported, accommodating containers from compact cosmetic flacons at 500ml through tall pharmaceutical syrups at 1,300ml within a single machine installation. The stretching stroke is recipe-configured per mold set and does not require physical machine modification to switch between stroke settings.

GMP & Cosmetic-Grade Automated Cycle

Zero hand-contact from preform loading to finished bottle discharge, satisfying both pharmaceutical GMP contamination exclusion requirements and cosmetic industry hygiene standards. The machine can serve pharmaceutical and cosmetic clients from a single installation using changeover-based scheduling without physical modification between production runs.

Customer Case Studies

Indonesia — Personal Care Manufacturer

★★★★★

Application: 500ml, 750ml, and 1,000ml PET shampoo and body wash pump bottles for an Indonesian personal care manufacturer distributing across ASEAN markets.

Problem solved: The manufacturer had an existing fleet of 114.3mm mold tooling from a previous machine supplier. When expanding capacity, they needed a machine compatible with their existing mold investment — replacing a 2-cavity machine without scrapping nine sets of validated bottle molds. The ES-4C114.3 accepted all nine existing mold sets without modification, doubling production capacity while preserving the full mold tooling investment.

“Nine mold sets, all compatible. We doubled production without re-tooling a single mold. That’s the only reason the 114.3mm machine was the right choice — and it was the right choice.”

Philippines — OEM Cosmetic Packager

★★★★★

Application: 750ml and 1,300ml PET OEM pump bottles for three cosmetic brand clients in the Philippines and South Korea, produced on a contract basis.

Problem solved: The packager needed to consolidate three clients’ production onto a single 4-cavity machine after their previous 2-cavity machine became unable to meet combined volumes. One South Korean client specifically required 114.3mm mold-close tooling compatibility — a requirement that ruled out the ES-4C114. The ES-4C114.3 satisfied the Korean client’s tooling compatibility requirement while providing 4-cavity capacity for all three accounts.

“The Korean client’s tooling required 114.3mm. That one specification determined the machine model. Everything else was the same — so we went with the .3 and it covered all three clients.”

Thailand — Pharmaceutical Packager

★★★★★

Application: 500ml, 750ml, and 1,300ml PET pharmaceutical syrup and supplement bottles for a Bangkok pharmaceutical packaging facility serving hospital procurement and retail pharmacy channels in Thailand.

Problem solved: The facility was replacing an aging 4-cavity machine from a European RSBM supplier whose tooling was manufactured to the 114.3mm standard. An identical blow mold close dimension was a non-negotiable requirement to avoid mold replacement costs across 14 validated pharmaceutical bottle molds. The ES-4C114.3 provided the exact tooling compatibility required, replacing the aging machine while accepting all 14 existing mold sets without modification.

“Fourteen validated pharmaceutical molds. Replacing them was not an option. The 114.3mm close was the only acceptable specification. The machine delivered exactly what was specified.”

Frequently Asked Questions

I don’t have existing molds — should I choose ES-4C114 or ES-4C114.3? +
No practical performance difference without existing tooling. Both deliver identical output and container capabilities. Our engineering team will recommend the correct model based on your bottle specification. Send us your bottle drawing and we will specify the correct model and tooling dimensions from the outset.
Can I use 114mm molds on the ES-4C114.3, or vice versa? +
No — the 0.3mm mold close difference means the mold half-split is positioned differently. A 114mm mold on a 114.3mm machine will not seal completely; a 114.3mm mold on a 114mm machine risks over-clamping and mold damage. The two standards are not interchangeable. If you have both types of molds, contact our team for a mold-specific review.
What is the preform holder capacity and why does it matter at 1,300ml? +
100-position holder — approximately 25 preforms per cavity in buffer. At 1,300ml, preforms are longer and heavier; the buffer sustains continuous 3,300 bph operation without feed interruptions using standard preform supply systems.
How long does a mold changeover take? +
Physical mold changeover: 2–3.5 hours depending on mold dimensional difference and operator familiarity. Digital recipe changeover adds 15–20 minutes. A 4-hour scheduled maintenance window covers a complete changeover for experienced operators.
Is there a lead time difference between the ES-4C114 and ES-4C114.3? +
No — lead time is equivalent for both models and depends on production queue at time of order, not the model variant. Contact our sales team for a current lead time estimate at time of enquiry.
