HGA.ES-2C200 Food Jars & Cans Blow Molding Machine

At 180 mm body diameter, the container cross-section spans nearly 18 cm — large enough that the container reads as a storage vessel rather than a retail jar. This body diameter accesses the catering pail, food service canister, and bulk distribution container formats used in institutional food supply chains that the 130 mm and 150 mm pitch machines cannot serve.

The 138 mm neck opening is wide enough for a standard kitchen ladle (typically 50–70 mm head width), full-hand access for scoop dispensing, and for products extracted by spoon or measure at commercial kitchen scale. This opening size is not achievable on the 110 mm neck of the 2C150 — the step up to 138 mm is a functional category change for catering products.

The 5,000 ml maximum volume and 350 mm maximum height produce containers at the full upper limit of what is practical for single-person lifting and pouring at catering scale. A 5-litre edible oil container at 180 mm body diameter represents the largest standard format in this container category — above this volume, the 2C260 (15,000 ml) covers industrial bulk formats.

The 2C200 requires 91.4 L/min cooling water flow — more than three times the 2C150's 30 L/min. Larger preform mass and container wall area at 180 mm body require proportionally higher mold cooling capacity to achieve consistent cycle times and wall solidification at 1,600 bph. Size the chiller system from Ever-Power's utility specification before installation.

30 kg/cm² · 6,000 L/min · Oil-free mandatory · Larger capacity than 2C150 — confirm compressor sizing before procurement

8–12 °C · 91.4 L/min · High-flow chiller required — 3x the flow rate of 2C150

7 kg/cm² · 600 L/min · Preform conveying and mold actuation at 200 mm pitch

"We produce 3-litre and 5-litre edible oil PET containers for food service distribution. The 2C200 was the only machine in the series that gave us the 180 mm body we needed — previous PET supplier used HDPE blow molding at this size, and switching to stretch blow molding PET gave us the optical clarity advantage our premium brand needed. The 138 mm neck fits our standard dispensing closure exactly."

"Catering-size peanut butter and tahini at 2-litre and 4-litre for commercial kitchen supply. The wide 138 mm neck is essential — our product is too thick for any narrower format at commercial ladle dispensing. The 1,600 bph output matches our filling line rate at these container sizes. Ever-Power's utility specification document made our 6,000 L/min compressor procurement straightforward — no surprises at installation."

"We produce 5-litre bulk honey containers for bakery supply and export. Machine has run to specification since commissioning. The 91.4 L/min cooling water requirement is real — we undersized our chiller initially and had to upgrade before full-rate production was achieved. Recommend getting Ever-Power's complete utility specification and having it reviewed by your facilities team before installation — the numbers at this machine size are meaningfully different from the smaller pitch models."

Why is the output lower at 1,600 bph versus the 2C150's 1,800 bph?

Larger preform mass at 200 mm pitch requires proportionally longer infrared conditioning time to achieve the through-wall temperature distribution needed for consistent wall thickness across a 180 mm body. The 50-position preform holder advances fewer preforms per unit time than the 60-position holder on the 2C150 — extending each preform's dwell time at the cost of cycle rate. 1,600 bph at 180 mm body is the optimised balance between conditioning quality and throughput at this container scale.

Why is 6,000 L/min high-pressure air required — significantly more than smaller models?

A 5,000 ml container at 180 mm body has roughly 5–6 times the internal volume of a 1,000 ml jar at 110 mm body — and the blow cycle must fully expand the preform to the mold wall in the same physical time window. Higher volume expansion at equivalent cycle time requires a proportionally higher sustained air flow rate. The 6,000 L/min figure is the minimum flow to achieve consistent full-volume blow at 1,600 bph for a 5,000 ml container. Undercapacity compressors are the most common cause of production quality issues on this machine.

Is the 138 mm closure system standard or custom?

138 mm continuous-thread and lug-cap closures are catalogued items at major closure manufacturers for food-service container applications. Confirm the specific thread profile (CT-138 or equivalent) with Ever-Power during tooling design — the neck finish geometry on the injection mold determines closure compatibility, and Ever-Power's mold designers reference standard closure tooling dimensions when designing neck inserts.

What are the floor load and installation requirements?

4,500 kg on a 4,300 x 2,090 mm footprint — approximately 500 kg/m². The machine height is 2,500 mm; confirm overhead clearance for service access and, where applicable, crane access for mold change at this machine size. Standard factory floors rated at 500 kg/m² typically accommodate this without reinforcement — verify with a structural engineer. Confirm electrical supply capacity for 85 KW maximum heating power before installation.

When should I choose the 2C260 instead?

Choose the HGA.ES-2C260 when your container requires a body diameter above 180 mm, a neck above 138 mm, or a volume above 5,000 ml. The 2C260 provides a 240 mm maximum body, 168 mm maximum neck, and 15,000 ml volume at 900 bph — the configuration for industrial-scale bulk containers, large storage vessels, and jumbo edible oil jerry-cans above the 2C200's ceiling.
