HGA.ES-8C76 Water Beverage Pesticide Chemical Bottle Blow Molding Machine

HGA.ES-8C76

8 Cavities · 76 mm Pitch · 9,200 bph · Peak Industrial Output

9,200 bph — Industrial-Scale Narrow-Body PET Production

The 8C76 is built for the production environments where narrow-body bottle volume has outgrown any 4- or 6-cavity solution. Eight bottles per cycle, every cycle — the maximum output available in this series at 76 mm pitch.

9,200 bph is the highest output of any single machine in the Water, Beverage, Pesticide & Chemical Bottle series — 92% of the output of two 4C76 machines running simultaneously, from a single installation with one operator per shift. The 8C76 is the correct choice when narrow-body bottle volume has exhausted the capacity of 4- and 6-cavity configurations and a second machine is the only remaining option.

The 166-position preform holder is the largest in the entire series — 166 positions divided by 8 cavities provides approximately 20.75 holder positions per preform before the blow station. This extended infrared dwell time stabilises the heat profile across all eight preform streams before each cycle, enabling the inter-cavity consistency required at 9,200 bph that eight-position factory acceptance testing must confirm before shipment. See all series models.

The 91.4 L/min cooling water flow rate is the highest in the series — eight simultaneous mold cooling circuits drawing more chilled water per cycle than any other machine. This requires a chiller installation sized specifically for the 8C76's cooling load. Obtain Ever-Power's utility specification document and size the chiller from it — do not use estimates from smaller machines in the series.

At 8,000 kg on a 5,750 x 2,660 mm footprint (approximately 522 kg/m²), the 8C76 is the heaviest and widest machine in the series. Floor reinforcement is likely required — a structural engineering survey is mandatory before site commitment. The 2,660 mm width requires a wide factory bay and imposes constraints on adjacent equipment clearance and personnel access routes. Allow minimum 6 months for site preparation from Ever-Power's utility specification document.

Why does the 8C76 require 7,500 L/min high-pressure air — less than the 6C114's 9,500 L/min despite more cavities?

The air consumption scales with the preform volume per cycle, not just the cavity count. Eight narrow-body 700 ml preforms at 76 mm pitch require less total air per cycle than six wide-body 1,500 ml preforms at 114 mm pitch — the volume difference per preform more than offsets the cavity count difference. 7,500 L/min is still the second-highest high-pressure air requirement in the series and requires dedicated industrial compressor infrastructure. Do not plan the installation from estimates; obtain Ever-Power's utility specification document.

Why is the 8C76's cooling water flow rate (91.4 L/min) so much higher than the 6C76's (40 L/min)?

Eight simultaneous mold cooling circuits generate significantly more heat extraction demand than six. The doubling of cavity count from 4 to 6 to 8 at the same pitch drives cooling demand in a near-linear progression. The 91.4 L/min requirement means the chiller system must be sized specifically for the 8C76 — do not assume that a chiller system sized for a 6-cavity machine can serve the 8C76 without capacity verification. Include chiller specification in your utility planning from Ever-Power's specification document.

What is the actual time and cost difference between one 8C76 and two 4C76 machines at equivalent output?

Two 4C76 machines at 9,600 bph combined have slightly more output than one 8C76 at 9,200 bph. The differences that favour the 8C76 are operational: one operator position per shift (versus two); one set of utility connections (versus two); one control interface and maintenance schedule (versus two); and a single installation footprint of 5,750 x 2,660 mm versus two machines at 3,290 x 1,850 mm each requiring independent clearance zones.
