HGA.ES-3C114

3-Cavity Enhanced Servo Stretch Blow Molding Machine  ·  PET / PETG  ·  2,400 bph  ·  Max 95 mm Body  ·  CE + ISO 9001:2015

The HGA.ES-3C114 is the second model in the HGA.ES 3-cavity series — delivering 2,400 bph across three simultaneous cavities at 114 mm pitch for medium-body cosmetic and daily chemical bottles up to 95 mm diameter and 1,500 ml. The enhanced servo drive ensures consistent inter-cavity quality across all three positions at the higher throughput that 3-cavity production provides over 2-cavity alternatives in this body diameter range.

At 95 mm maximum body diameter and 1,500 ml maximum volume, the medium-format preforms on the HGA.ES-3C114 are substantially heavier than slim-format preforms. In 3-cavity production with heavier preforms, servo timing precision has a proportionally larger impact on inter-cavity wall-thickness consistency than with slim preforms — the ES enhanced servo drive addresses this directly by providing faster response and tighter repeatability across all three cavity positions simultaneously.

The 74-position preform holder on the HGA.ES-3C114 is the largest in the HGA.ES 3-cavity series — 32 positions more than the 3C76's 42-position holder. At 95 mm body diameter, medium-format preforms require more infrared dwell time than slim preforms to achieve consistent through-wall temperature conditioning. The 74-position holder provides this extended residence time, supporting consistent wall-zone temperature targeting for all three cavities simultaneously at 2,400 bph production rate.

The HGA.ES-3C114 offers two stretching stroke configurations: 350 mm covering bottles up to 250 mm height, and 450 mm covering tall bottles up to 330 mm height. This dual-stroke capability is unique in the HGA.ES 3-cavity series — allowing the same machine to serve both standard-height body wash and conditioner formats and taller bottle profiles within the 95 mm body diameter range. Confirm the required stroke configuration with Ever-Power when ordering to ensure tooling compatibility.

At 2,400 bph across 3 cavities, the HGA.ES-3C114 delivers 20% more throughput than a comparable 2-cavity machine at 114 mm pitch (2,000 bph) for the same medium-body bottle formats. For production lines where 2-cavity output at 114 mm pitch is insufficient for customer order volumes, the 3-cavity configuration is the direct upgrade path without pitch change or body-diameter compromise. At 1,500 ml maximum volume, 2,400 bph produces 3,600 litres of container volume per hour at maximum specification.

At 2,850 x 1,850 x 2,180 mm, the HGA.ES-3C114 is notably more compact than the 3C76 (5,570 x 2,090 x 2,500 mm) despite the larger cavity pitch and heavier preforms. The more efficient mechanical layout at 114 mm pitch and 3 cavities delivers a smaller footprint than the slim-format 3-cavity machine, allowing medium-body 3-cavity production within standard factory floor allocations that might not accommodate the longer 3C76 layout.

Commissioning the HGA.ES-3C114 requires careful infrared zone balancing across 74 holder positions for three simultaneous medium-body preforms, ES servo parameter calibration for 3-cavity medium-body blow timing, and inter-cavity uniformity verification. Ever-Power's commissioning engineers handle all three aspects, including the dual-stroke configuration setup for the buyer's specific bottle height requirement, before handover to the production operator.

Standard and premium body wash and conditioner in PET and PETG from 300 ml to 1,500 ml at body diameters between 68 mm and 95 mm. High-volume cosmetic filling lines requiring 3-cavity throughput at medium-body format — the 3C114 is the direct upgrade from 2-cavity 114 mm pitch production when monthly volume targets outpace 2-cavity capacity.

Salon-grade shampoo and conditioning treatment in PETG and PET from 500 ml to 1,500 ml for K-beauty and professional hair care brands. Medium-body salon bottles at 95 mm diameter carry more product per unit than standard slim-format bottles — the 3C114 provides the output rate needed for high-volume salon channel supply at this body size without stepping up to 4-cavity configuration.

Standard daily chemical bottles — fabric softener, laundry detergent, household cleaner — from 500 ml to 1,500 ml in PET at 95 mm maximum body diameter. High-volume daily chemical filling lines where 2-cavity 114 mm pitch production is the throughput constraint — the 3-cavity configuration eliminates this constraint while maintaining the same body diameter capability.

OEM packaging suppliers producing medium-body PET and PETG bottles for multiple cosmetic and daily chemical brand clients — body wash, conditioner, shampoo, and daily chemical in 300 ml to 1,500 ml mixed SKU production. The 3-cavity output at 2,400 bph provides the per-shift volume needed to serve concurrent client orders efficiently at medium-body format scale.

"We run body wash and conditioner from 500 ml to 1,200 ml at 90 mm body diameter for several brand clients. The HGA.ES-3C114 was the right step up from our 2-cavity machine at the same pitch. The 2,400 bph output across 3 cavities meets our monthly production targets without moving to 4-cavity. Inter-cavity weight uniformity has been consistently within specification. The 74-position holder makes a visible difference in heating uniformity at this preform weight."

Machine: HGA.ES-3C114

"We produce salon-grade shampoo in PETG at 800 ml and 1,200 ml — 95 mm body diameter, clarity is a brand requirement. The 3-cavity ES configuration gives us the throughput for our distribution volumes. PETG clarity across all three cavities has been consistent — no visible inter-cavity differences in optical quality. The commissioning engineer calibrated the infrared zones specifically for our PETG grade on site."

Machine: HGA.ES-3C114

"We switched from a 2-cavity machine at 114 mm pitch to the 3C114 to handle increased fabric softener and daily chemical orders at 1,000 ml and 1,500 ml. The additional 20% output from the third cavity was exactly the capacity increase we needed. Machine footprint was smaller than we expected for a 3-cavity configuration — fits into the same floor space as our previous 2-cavity machine."

"We use the 450 mm stretch configuration for tall 1,200 ml body wash bottles — 330 mm height. The dual-stroke capability was the deciding factor over competitor machines at this pitch. One point: confirm your stretch stroke requirement with Ever-Power before ordering tooling, as the mold design must match the stretch configuration. We had an early delay because of a tooling mismatch — minor issue that was resolved quickly, but worth flagging."

Q1: When should I choose the 3C114 over the 3C76 or a 2-cavity 114 mm machine?

Choose the 3C114 when your bottle body diameter is between 68 mm and 95 mm and your production volume target requires more than 2-cavity output at 114 mm pitch (i.e. more than approximately 2,000 bph). If your bottle body diameter is 68 mm or below, the HGA.ES-3C76 delivers higher bph at the smaller pitch. If 2-cavity output at 114 mm pitch is sufficient for your volume, a 2-cavity configuration offers simpler process setup and lower tooling cost.

Q2: How does the 350/450 mm dual stretching stroke work in practice?

The stretching stroke determines the maximum bottle height the machine can produce: 350 mm stroke covers bottles up to 250 mm tall; 450 mm stroke covers bottles up to 330 mm tall. The stroke is set at machine configuration — it is not adjustable between production runs without mechanical reconfiguration. The mold tooling must also be designed for the selected stroke. Confirm your required bottle height and the corresponding stroke configuration with Ever-Power before ordering both the machine and the molds to ensure compatibility.

Q3: Why does the 3C114 have a smaller footprint than the 3C76?

The HGA.ES-3C76 at 76 mm pitch has a very long preform transport path to accommodate 42 holder positions at 76 mm spacing — resulting in the 5,570 mm machine length. The HGA.ES-3C114 at 114 mm pitch achieves 74 holder positions more compactly because the wider pitch spacing allows a more efficient mechanical layout, resulting in the 2,850 mm machine length despite the larger holder count. The 3C114 also has a lower machine height at 2,180 mm versus 2,500 mm for the 3C76.

Q4: Can the machine handle PETG for clear premium bottles?

Yes. The zone-level digital infrared system and 74-position holder provide adequate temperature conditioning precision for PETG at 95 mm body diameter and medium-body preform weights. PETG requires a narrower processing temperature window than PET — the zone-level control allows the precise calibration needed for consistent clarity across all three cavities. Contact Ever-Power with your PETG datasheet before commissioning for a zone profile recommendation specific to your resin grade.

Q5: What is the machine footprint and installation requirement?

2,850 mm (L) x 1,850 mm (W) x 2,180 mm (H), 4,000 kg. Confirm floor load capacity for 4,000 kg. Allow lateral clearance on both sides for mold change-over at 114 mm pitch, plus space for the bottle outlet conveyor and auxiliary equipment. The 2,180 mm height fits standard industrial ceiling clearances without special requirements.

Q6: What after-sales support is available?

Remote technical support during business hours. 5-year spare parts availability commitment. On-site engineer dispatch for faults not resolvable remotely. The 3-cavity commissioning engineer is available for follow-on site visits if inter-cavity uniformity issues arise during production ramp-up that are not resolvable through remote parameter guidance.
