At 98 mm neck on a 110 mm body, the opening-to-body ratio is nearly 90% — serving genuine wide-mouth jar formats where hand access, ladle insertion, and whole-piece content extraction are functional requirements. This neck range covers the full standard retail wide-mouth food jar category without exception.

Food-grade PET is approved for food contact in all major regulatory frameworks (FDA, EFSA, GB standards). The reheat stretch blow molding process produces PET jars at maximum achievable optical clarity — matching glass presentation on shelf while delivering shatter resistance and significantly lower shipping weight.

1,000 bph serves annual volumes of 5–8 million units at sustained operation. It is also the correct scale for format pilots before 2-cavity tooling commitment, for specialty and seasonal jar production, and for multi-format single-machine operations with tooling changeover between different jar profiles.

At 2,525 x 1,525 x 1,995 mm and 2,500 kg, the 1C130 fits factory spaces that cannot accommodate larger configurations. No crane overhead clearance required. Single-cavity ISBM tooling costs roughly half of 2-cavity tooling — the lowest capital entry into in-house food jar production.

35 kg/cm² · 800 L/min · Oil-free mandatory for food-grade jar production

8–12 °C · 30 L/min · Mold cooling is critical for wall uniformity at wide-mouth format

7 kg/cm² · 800 L/min · Preform conveying and mold actuation

"We produce honey and condiment jars from 250–800 ml. The reheat SBM process gives jar clarity that matches our previous glass — something two-step alternatives could not deliver consistently. 1,000 bph matches our schedule for our jar range. Commissioning was thorough and quick."

"We run specialty chilli oil jars at 300–500 ml for a premium export brand. Wide-mouth PET with very high clarity was the brief. Single-cavity tooling allowed us to trial three jar profiles before committing to production volumes. Neck-thread accuracy verification during commissioning was exactly what our tamper-evident closure required."

"Pickle and preserved vegetable jars 500–1,000 ml. Wide neck essential for whole-piece insertion and extraction. PET stability in acidic pickling chemistry confirmed over 14 months. We run two different jar formats on the same machine with tooling changeover — practical and cost-effective at our volume."

What is reheat stretch blow molding and why does it matter for food jars?

The HGA.ES food jar series uses a two-step reheat stretch blow molding process: pre-made PET preforms are fed into the machine, reheated by infrared lamps to forming temperature, then immediately stretched and blown into the finished container. Preforms can be sourced from specialist suppliers or produced in-house, giving full flexibility in specification, supply chain, and format changeover. For food jars, reheat stretch blow molding delivers glass-competitive clarity and tighter neck-thread tolerances critical for tamper-evident and child-resistant closures.

Is PET food-safe for condiments, vinegar-brine products, and edible oils?

Yes. Food-grade PET is approved for food contact under FDA, EFSA, and GB standards. PET is chemically stable against the acids, oils, and salt concentrations in condiment, pickle, honey, edible oil, and sauce products at standard storage temperatures. PET is not recommended for hot-fill above 60°C — confirm with Ever-Power if your product requires hot-fill capability, as a heat-set process may be required.

When should I choose the 1C130 over the 2C130?

Choose the 1C130 when your annual production target is at or below approximately 6–7 million units per year, when you are trialling a new jar format before committing to 2-cavity tooling, when your facility cannot accommodate the larger 2C130 footprint, or when you produce multiple formats on the same machine with tooling changeover. The 2C130 at 1,800 bph costs roughly 60–70% more in machine and tooling but delivers 80% more output.

Can the machine run multiple jar formats with tooling changeover?

Yes — single-cavity ISBM tooling (injection mold, blow mold, neck insert set) is designed for changeover. Formats sharing the same neck finish are the fastest changeovers. Confirm changeover compatibility for your specific format combination with Ever-Power before ordering.

What floor load and space does the machine require?

2,500 kg on a 2,525 x 1,525 mm footprint — approximately 650 kg/m² distributed load. Standard factory floors rated at 500 kg/m² or above can typically accommodate this without reinforcement. The 1C130 is the lightest machine in the series — floor load is rarely a constraint for this model. Confirm with a structural engineer before installation.
