The HGA.FS-1CG196 is the third model in the HGA.FS single-cavity wide-mouth jar series — the 196 mm pitch configuration covering extra-large cosmetic jars, bulk institutional body care tubs, and large-format daily chemical canisters up to 170 mm body diameter, 160 mm neck diameter, and 5,000 ml volume. At this scale, single-cavity process control is essential for consistent wide-mouth jar quality in these demanding large-format container geometries.

At 170 mm body diameter and 160 mm neck diameter, the jar has the smallest neck-to-body ratio differential in the FS series — only 10 mm wider body than neck at maximum. This extreme geometry requires the finest per-jar process control of any machine in the HGA cosmetic series. Single-cavity running provides the process engineer with direct, uncompromised control over preform temperature zones, stretch rod timing, blow pressure profile, and cooling dwell — the four parameters that determine whether an extra-large wide-mouth jar has consistent sidewall thickness or localised thinning at the base or shoulder.

A 160 mm neck diameter opening is wider than a standard sheet of A4 paper is tall — this is an institutional canister or bulk tub opening, not a consumer jar closure. Formats requiring a 160 mm neck diameter include large institutional body care tubs for hotel and spa supply, bulk salon product containers where full-hand access for product dispensing is the use case, laboratory and industrial cleaning compound canisters, and specialty bulk cosmetic supply containers for professional markets.

At 5,000 ml maximum volume — 5 litres — the HGA.FS-1CG196 enters the bulk and institutional packaging scale. Formats at this volume include 5-litre institutional body lotion containers for hospitality supply, large salon product bulk containers, industrial cleaning compound canisters, and specialty cosmetic ingredient storage containers. The stretch blow process delivers the wall integrity and structural stiffness at 170 mm diameter and 5,000 ml volume that injection moulding alternatives often cannot match for transparent PET at this scale.

The servo-driven actuation system provides the precise mold open and close, stretch rod advance, and take-out timing that extra-large jar production requires. At 196 mm pitch and 5,000 ml container volume, the mold mass and blow air volume per cycle are significantly higher than smaller FS models — servo drive maintains precise positioning repeatability across these larger mechanical loads without the timing drift that can occur in hydraulic or pneumatic actuation systems over extended production runs.

Extra-large wide-mouth jar preforms at 160 mm neck diameter have thick preform walls and a very large neck finish — the infrared heating system must penetrate a much larger material mass than standard bottle preforms to achieve uniform through-wall temperature. The zone-level digital infrared heating system on the FS-1CG196 allows independent zone power control matched to the extra-large preform geometry — ensuring consistent through-wall temperature before the blow station for each jar produced.

Extra-large wide-mouth jar production at 196 mm pitch is a specialised process. Ever-Power's commissioning engineers with specific experience in large-format FS jar machines handle installation, 196 mm pitch mold mounting, infrared zone calibration for extra-large preform geometry, stretch rod timing setup for the jar's specific blow ratio, and operator training on large-format process parameters. Preform design review before tooling order is standard practice at this format scale.

Large institutional body lotion tubs, hotel spa amenity bulk containers, and resort hospitality cosmetic supply packaging from 1,000 ml to 5,000 ml in PET and PETG. The 160 mm neck diameter enables the wide-mouth access required for institutional scoop dispensing or direct pump installation on very large tub formats. PETG for branded premium hospitality presentation; PET for standard institutional supply.

Bulk professional salon product jars — large-format hair treatment, professional conditioner, colour care, and styling product bulk supply containers from 1,000 ml to 5,000 ml for salon back-bar use. Professional salon supply channels use larger bulk containers than consumer retail at this scale; the 196 mm pitch and 160 mm neck diameter serve the professional bulk jar formats that salon-grade K-beauty and professional hair care brands supply to their distributor networks.

Large household and industrial cleaning compound canisters, bulk powder detergent containers, multi-use institutional cleaning product tubs, and large-format bulk daily chemical packaging from 2,000 ml to 5,000 ml in PET. The 160 mm neck diameter enables scoop access for powder and granule products; the 170 mm body diameter and 200 mm height accommodate the bulk volume formats used in institutional and industrial cleaning supply.

Specialty cosmetic ingredient supply containers, artisan and compounding cosmetic bulk packaging, and large-format specialist product tubs from 1,000 ml to 5,000 ml where the stretch blow PET or PETG container provides superior clarity and material efficiency versus injection-moulded alternatives at equivalent volume. The single-cavity process suits specialty and artisan production at 400–600 pph where small batch sizes and high per-unit quality justify the dedicated configuration.

"We supply institutional body care packaging for hotel groups — 2,000 ml and 3,000 ml PET tubs with 160 mm neck for scoop dispensing of body lotion and bath products. The FS-1CG196 was the specific machine for this format scale. Sidewall consistency and neck-finish dimension have both met our buyer specification. Ever-Power's preform design guidance before we ordered tooling was essential — we would not have had the correct preform wall distribution without it."

Machine: HGA.FS-1CG196

"We produce bulk salon hair care jars — 1,500 ml and 5,000 ml PET formats for professional distributor supply. Wide neck for direct access. The FS-1CG196 handles both formats. The 5,000 ml jar requires careful commissioning setup — the Ever-Power engineer spent two full days on infrared zone calibration and stretch rod timing for the large-format preform. Since then, production has been consistent."

Machine: HGA.FS-1CG196

"We manufacture large cleaning compound canisters — 3,000 ml PET wide-neck containers for institutional cleaning supply. The machine handles the format. We found the production rate of 400 to 500 pieces per hour lower than we initially planned for, but this was explained to us in advance as inherent to single-cavity production at this format scale. For our volumes, it is adequate. Quality has been good."

Machine: HGA.FS series

"We supply specialty cosmetic ingredient packaging — 2,500 ml PETG transparent tubs for a cosmetic formulation company. Optical clarity so the customer can see the ingredient inside and structural stiffness at large volume were both requirements. The FS-1CG196 produces both at specification. This is a niche application — we were glad to find a machine that handles the geometry without custom modifications."

Q1: What container formats specifically require the 196 mm pitch rather than 150 mm?

Any jar with a body diameter between 130 mm and 170 mm, a neck diameter between 118 mm and 160 mm, a volume between 2,000 ml and 5,000 ml, or a container height between 150 mm and 200 mm. These exceed what the FS-1CG150 (130 mm body, 118 mm neck, 2,000 ml max, 150 mm height) can produce. Submit your jar drawing with all dimensions to Ever-Power for a confirmed model recommendation before ordering tooling at this format scale.

Q2: Why is preform design review essential before ordering tooling for the FS-1CG196?

At 160 mm neck diameter and 170 mm body diameter, the preform is one of the largest in cosmetic blow molding production. The preform wall must be distributed to manage material from an extremely large neck geometry across a body only 10 mm wider. Incorrect preform wall distribution at this scale results in localised sidewall thinning that is very difficult to correct through process parameter adjustment alone. Ever-Power reviews and recommends preform specifications for all FS-1CG196 orders before tooling is committed — this step prevents the most common cause of production issues at extra-large wide-mouth jar scale.

Q3: Why is the blowing pressure lower on the FS-1CG196 than on smaller FS models?

Wide-mouth jar formats have a lower blow ratio than tall bottle formats at the same body diameter — the preform stretches less radially and much less axially in a short, wide jar than in a tall bottle. Lower blow ratio means lower blow pressure is required to achieve full expansion. The 15–25 kg/cm² blowing pressure range on the FS-1CG196 reflects the wide-mouth jar geometry's lower blow ratio compared to the 26–35 kg/cm² range used on bottle machines at equivalent body diameter. An air compressor rated for the lower pressure range is correctly specified for this machine.

Q4: What is the expected production rate and how should I plan my production volume?

Theoretical output is 400–600 pph. At 5,000 ml container volume, 400 pph produces 2,000 litres of container volume per hour — a substantial throughput on a volumetric basis. For production planning, the relevant metric for large institutional tubs and canisters is container volume per shift rather than pieces per hour. Contact Ever-Power with your specific jar drawing for an accurate output estimate — the actual rate varies with jar geometry, wall thickness, resin grade, and cooling requirements.

Q5: What is the machine footprint?

3,000 mm (L) x 1,400 mm (W) x 2,000 mm (H), 2,200 kg — larger than the FS-1CG150 (2,700 x 1,300 x 1,900 mm, 1,800 kg) to accommodate the wider 196 mm pitch mold station and larger mechanical components. Allow additional clearance on both sides for extra-large mold set change-over, which requires more lateral working space than standard-format tooling. The 2,000 mm height fits standard industrial bay ceiling clearances.

Q6: Can this machine produce PETG extra-large jars?

Yes, subject to preform design and infrared zone calibration for the specific PETG grade. At 170 mm body diameter with low blow ratio geometry, PETG clarity is achievable — the low blow ratio actually reduces the severity of PETG's narrow thermal processing window challenge compared to high-blow-ratio bottle formats. The infrared zone calibration for extra-large PETG preforms is more complex than for standard bottle preforms and is handled as part of commissioning by Ever-Power's engineers. Contact Ever-Power with your PETG datasheet and jar drawing before ordering tooling.

Q7: What certifications does the machine carry?

CE marking and ISO 9001:2015 are standard on all HGA series machines. CE Declaration of Conformity available for review before order. Factory acceptance test report on buyer-specified preform and jar format supplied at delivery. Documentation available on request for food-contact, pharmaceutical, or institutional cosmetic packaging compliance requirements.

Q8: What after-sales support is available for this large-format machine?

Remote technical support during business hours with engineers specifically familiar with large-format FS machine processes. Spare parts stocked with a 5-year minimum availability commitment. Engineers dispatched for on-site service for faults not resolvable remotely. For FS-1CG196 process issues, Ever-Power's commissioning engineers who handled the initial setup are available for follow-on site visits — continuity of specialist knowledge for this format is specifically maintained for customers operating at this extra-large scale.
