HGA.ES-4C150 Food Jars & Cans Blow Molding Machine

4,000 bph versus the 2C150's 1,800 bph — more than double the throughput at the same 130 mm body, 110 mm neck, and 2,500 ml format envelope. For operations that have validated their large-body jar format and face a throughput constraint on the 2-cavity machine, the 4C150 is the direct scale-up with no change to jar specification or closure tooling.

The 4C150 uses the same 150 mm pitch, 130 mm body ceiling, 110 mm neck ceiling, and 2,500 ml maximum volume as the 2C150. Jar geometry, preform specification, neck finish, and closure tooling all carry forward from the 2C150 without modification. The machine configuration changes; the jar does not. The full ISBM mold tooling range covers custom profiles at this pitch.

The 86-position preform holder conditions four simultaneous preform streams at 150 mm pitch. At 130 mm body and 2,500 ml maximum volume, the preform mass is substantially larger than the narrower-pitch machines — the holder provides the extended infrared dwell time required for consistent through-wall temperature distribution at 4,000 bph across all four blow positions.

At 8,000 kg and 6,200 x 2,150 mm, the 4C150 is the heaviest and longest machine in the HGA food jars series. Floor load confirmation by a structural engineer, overhead clearance for 4-cavity mold change, 6,500 L/min compressed air installation, and 60 L/min chiller capacity all require advance planning.

30 kg/cm² · 6,500 L/min · Oil-free required · Size from Ever-Power spec before procurement

8–12 °C · 60 L/min · High-flow chiller for four-cavity large-body mold temperature control

7 kg/cm² · 800 L/min · Preform conveying and mold actuation across 4 cavities at 150 mm pitch

"We scaled from the 2C150 to the 4C150 when our edible oil jar volumes required output beyond what the 2-cavity machine could provide per shift. Same pitch, same preform, same jar geometry — the transition was clean. 4,000 bph now matches our filling line speed for our 1-litre and 2-litre oil formats. Inter-cavity consistency across all four positions confirmed within tolerance at factory acceptance testing."

"National honey brand producing 1-litre and 2.5-litre jars for retail and club-store channels. The 4C150 at 4,000 bph covers our peak-season production schedule in one machine rather than running two 2C150 units. The 6,500 L/min compressor requirement is significant — we built dedicated compressed air infrastructure before the machine arrived based on Ever-Power's utility specification. The document was detailed and accurate, no surprises at installation."

"We produce bulk condiment and sauce jars from 500 ml to 2,000 ml across multiple SKUs. Machine performance is consistent and output target is met. Key practical note from our experience: at 8,000 kg and 6,200 mm length, this machine required us to reconfigure our factory floor layout entirely before installation. Plan your site with a structural engineer before ordering — this is not a machine you can simply place in an existing space without preparation."

What is the difference between the 4C150 and the 2C150?

Both machines use the same 150 mm cavity pitch, 130 mm body ceiling, 110 mm neck ceiling, and 2,500 ml maximum volume — the jar format specification is identical. The 4C150 runs four cavities simultaneously versus two on the 2C150, delivering 4,000 bph versus 1,800 bph. The 4C150 is heavier (8,000 kg vs 3,500 kg), longer (6,200 mm vs 4,290 mm), and requires higher compressed air (6,500 L/min vs 1,000–1,500 L/min) and cooling water (60 L/min vs 30 L/min). Choose the 4C150 when your production target exceeds 1,800 bph at this jar format.

Can I use preforms and tooling from my 2C150 on the 4C150?

Preform specifications — neck finish, preform weight, wall design — carry forward from the 2C150 to the 4C150 without change, as both machines use the same 150 mm pitch and container format envelope. The blow mold tooling sets are physically different (4-cavity versus 2-cavity) and cannot be shared directly between machines, but the jar geometry and preform specification remain identical, so new tooling sets for the 4C150 are made to the same jar drawing used for the 2C150.

Why does the 4C150 require 6,500 L/min compressed air when the 2C150 only requires 1,000–1,500 L/min?

Four blow cycles occur simultaneously per machine cycle on the 4C150 versus two on the 2C150. At 2,500 ml maximum volume per cavity, blowing four cavities simultaneously at 30 kg/cm² requires substantially higher sustained air flow than two cavities. The 6,500 L/min figure is the minimum flow to consistently complete all four cavity blow events within the cycle time at 4,000 bph. Obtain Ever-Power's utility specification document and design your compressor installation from that document before procurement.

What are the floor load and site preparation requirements?

8,000 kg on a 6,200 x 2,150 mm footprint — approximately 600 kg/m². Factory floor must be confirmed adequate by a structural engineer before installation. Machine height is 2,050 mm; confirm overhead clearance for service access and 4-cavity mold change equipment. At 6,200 mm length, the machine typically requires a dedicated production bay. Allow additional space for bottle outlet conveyor, downstream sorting, and downstream equipment for 4,000 bph output.

Is the 4C150 the last machine in the series?

The 4C150 is the last 4-cavity machine in the series and the largest machine overall by weight. The series also includes the HGA.FS-1CGG220 — a single-cavity machine at 220 mm pitch specifically for large wide-mouth jar formats up to 190 mm body, 138 mm neck, and 5,000 ml at 600 bph. For containers beyond the 4C150's 130 mm body or 2,500 ml ceiling, the 2C200 (5,000 ml, 180 mm body) and 2C260 (15,000 ml, 240 mm body) are the appropriate selections.
