HGA.ES-4C76 Water Beverage Pesticide Chemical Bottle Blow Molding Machine

HGA.ES-4C76

4 Cavities · 76 mm Pitch · Highest Output in the Series

4,800 bph — National-Scale Narrow-Body Bottle Production

The 4C76 is purpose-built for operations where narrow-body bottle volume is the primary production constraint. Four bottles per cycle at 76 mm pitch — the highest output in this series at any body diameter below 68 mm.

4,800 bph is the highest output of any machine in the Water, Beverage, Pesticide & Chemical series — exactly double the 2C100's 2,400 bph at a smaller body diameter. For national-scale water brands, large CSD producers, and agrochemical manufacturers with high seasonal peaks, the 4C76 provides the output rate that 2-cavity machines cannot reach.

The 96-position preform holder is the largest in the series — providing extended infrared conditioning across four simultaneous narrow preform streams at 76 mm pitch. All four preforms receive identical zone-level heating profiles before the blow station, ensuring consistent inter-cavity weight and wall thickness across all four positions at 4,800 bph. See the full series for all cavity configurations.

At 3,290 x 1,850 mm and 3,500 kg, the 4C76 delivers 4,800 bph from a footprint only slightly larger than the 2C130 (3,600 x 1,800 mm, 3,000 kg). The 76 mm pitch keeps the blow-station width contained — four cavities at 76 mm pitch occupy less lateral space than the same output from two machines at wider pitches.

Factory acceptance testing covers all four cavity positions simultaneously — not just one representative cavity. Inter-cavity weight, wall thickness, height, and optical clarity are verified across all four positions before shipment. Any variance above threshold is corrected during factory commissioning before the machine leaves the factory.

Why choose the 4C76 over two 2C100 machines for the same output?

A single 4C76 at 4,800 bph requires one operator per shift, one set of utility connections (compressed air, chiller, power), one control interface, and a single factory footprint of 3,290 x 1,850 mm. Two 2C100 machines at equivalent combined output require two operators, two utility connections, two separate control interfaces, and approximately 5,800 x 1,525 mm of floor area side by side. For most operations the single-machine configuration is operationally simpler and more space-efficient.

What is the 48 mm neck diameter limit in practical terms?

48 mm neck diameter covers the standard PCO 1881 (28 mm) and BPF 30/25 neck finishes used in narrow-body water and CSD bottles, as well as small pesticide spray bottle necks. It does not accommodate the wider necks used in sports drink wide-mouth caps or hot-fill beverage closures. If your bottle requires a neck above 48 mm, the HGA.ES-4C100 (68 mm neck, 80 mm body, 4,600 bph) is the correct 4-cavity option.

Why does the 4C76 require 3,900 L/min compressed air when 2-cavity machines need only 600–1,500 L/min?

Four blow cycles occur simultaneously per machine cycle — requiring sustained air flow to complete all four cavity blow events within the cycle time at 35 kg/cm². The 3,900 L/min figure is the minimum flow to consistently achieve full-volume blow across all four cavities at 4,800 bph. Obtain Ever-Power's utility specification document and design your compressor installation from it before procurement — undersizing the compressor is the most common installation error on 4-cavity machines.

Can I run multiple bottle formats on the 4C76 across the shift schedule?

Yes — the 4C76 is designed for tooling changeover between formats within the 68 mm body and 48 mm neck ceiling. Formats sharing the same neck finish are the fastest changeovers. Formats with different body profiles or heights require a full 4-cavity blow mold set change. Confirm changeover compatibility for your specific format combination with Ever-Power before ordering multiple tooling sets.
