Product Overview
The HGS200A is the standard mid-range model in Korea Ever-Power's HGS Series — the most commonly selected semi-automatic PET blow molding machine for operations producing bottles in the 500 ml to 1.25 litre range. With a 380×210 mm pillar space and 120–200 mm mold capacity, the HGS200A covers the majority of standard commercial PET bottle formats at this volume range, including the 1-litre and 1.25-litre sizes that are most frequently ordered in small-to-medium batch production.
Compared to the entry-level HGS150A, the HGS200A widens the pillar space from 330×220 mm to 380×210 mm, extends mold capacity from 150 mm to 200 mm, and increases the stretching stroke from 320 mm to 350 mm — giving access to a broader range of bottle body geometries and the standard 1.25-litre format that the HGS150A cannot accommodate. Machine weight steps from 400 kg to 480 kg, still well within standard floor loading limits for most industrial facilities.
● Standard 1-litre and 1.25-litre PET bottle production
● Operations needing 200 mm mold capacity at semi-automatic scale
● Multi-SKU small-batch lines running 5–10 formats at 500–980 BPH
● Entry into semi-automatic production where 150 mm mold is insufficient
A full automatic 2-step line for 1.25-litre bottles requires substantial capital and a dedicated production format. The HGS200A delivers the same bottle at semi-automatic cost — right-sized for volumes below 500,000 units per month per SKU.
The 380×210 mm pillar space and 200 mm mold capacity cover multiple bottle body diameters within the 1-litre to 1.25-litre range — round, oval, square, and contoured formats all fit within the same machine.
At 0.8 MPa operating pressure, the HGS200A uses standard industrial compressed air for actuation — consistent with the HGS250A, 280A, and 350A models, simplifying shared-line air supply planning across multiple machines.
Operations that started with the HGS150A and need to expand to 1.25-litre formats or wider body geometries move to the HGS200A — same operator skills, same heater connection standard, broader format range.
What the HGS200A Produces — Up to 1.25 Litres
1-litre and 1.25-litre round PET beverage bottles — the most commonly produced formats in the HGS range. Juice, carbonated drink, functional beverage, water, and RTD tea formats within the 120–200 mm mold capacity.
Shampoo, conditioner, body wash, liquid soap, and household cleaning bottles from 500 ml to 1.25 litres. The wider 200 mm mold capacity allows contoured and oval personal care bottle bodies that the HGS150A cannot accommodate.
Soy sauce, vinegar, cooking oil, and condiment bottles from 500 ml to 1.25 litres in PET. The HGS200A handles the wider body diameters typical of condiment formats — square and rectangular bottles within the 200 mm mold capacity.
New 1-litre and 1.25-litre bottle design samples, client approval runs, and packaging development programs — the same fast-changeover advantage as all HGS models, now applied to the wider body range enabled by 200 mm mold capacity.

Core Engineering Features
200 mm Mold Capacity — Widest in Mid-Range
The 200 mm maximum mold size is the key step up from the HGS150A's 150 mm ceiling. This addition opens the machine to the full range of standard 1-litre and 1.25-litre bottle body geometries — including contoured personal care bottles, wider condiment bottles, and oval formats — that represent the majority of volume in the 500 ml–1.25 L market.
350 mm Stretching Stroke — Standard 1.25L Height
The 350 mm stretch rod travel covers the height range of standard 1-litre and 1.25-litre PET bottles — 30 mm more than the HGS150A's 320 mm. This additional travel accommodates the slightly taller body height of 1.25-litre formats while remaining well-matched to 1-litre bottle proportions on the same machine without mechanical adjustment.
0.8 MPa — Shared Air Standard Across HGS250A to HGS350A
The HGS200A's 0.8 MPa operating pressure matches the HGS250A, HGS280A, and HGS350A — the standard across the mid-to-large HGS range. Operations running multiple HGS models can supply all machines from a single 0.8 MPa air distribution line, simplifying facility air planning. Only the entry HGS150A differs at 0.5–0.7 MPa.
380×210 mm Pillar Space — Wider Format Access
The wider 380×210 mm pillar space versus the HGS150A's 330×220 mm provides more horizontal clearance for wider mold bodies — particularly relevant for oval, rectangular, and contoured bottle shapes where the mold horizontal dimension exceeds the round-bottle-equivalent diameter. This makes the HGS200A more versatile across non-round bottle formats in the 1–1.25 L range.
500–980 BPH — Efficient Mid-Range Output
At 500–980 BPH, the HGS200A delivers slightly lower peak output than the HGS150A (1,100 BPH) — reflecting the additional cycle time for the longer 350 mm stretch stroke on 1.25-litre preforms. Sustained operator output at 800–900 BPH over a full shift produces 5,500–6,200 bottles per 8-hour shift — sufficient for single-SKU monthly volumes of 120,000–170,000 units on a single shift.
Compact 1,550×560 mm Footprint at 480 kg
Only 150 mm longer and 60 mm wider than the HGS150A — the HGS200A adds significant mold capacity and volume range while keeping a compact, production-floor-friendly footprint. At 480 kg, no special structural floor assessment is required in most standard industrial buildings. The heater unit (HGJ-CL or HGJ-B) is placed separately and connected by a short conveyor or manual preform transfer.
Representative PET bottle formats producible on the HGS200A — standard beverage, personal care, condiment, and specialty containers from 500 ml to 1.25 litres.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the main reason to choose the HGS200A over the HGS150A?
The HGS200A is chosen when the bottle volume exceeds 1 litre (up to 1.25 L), when the mold body diameter exceeds 150 mm (up to 200 mm), or when the bottle body geometry — oval, rectangular, contoured — requires the wider 380×210 mm pillar space. If your format fits within the HGS150A's 1L/150mm/330×220mm parameters, the HGS150A is the lower-cost option. See the full HGS Series to compare all models.
Can the HGS200A run 1-litre bottles as well as 1.25-litre?
Yes — the HGS200A's mold capacity range of 120–200 mm and stretching stroke of 350 mm accommodate both 1-litre and 1.25-litre formats on the same machine. Mold changeover between the two volumes is a standard 10–20 minute operation. Many operators run 1-litre and 1.25-litre SKUs on the same HGS200A on alternating production runs.
Why is the HGS200A's max BPH (980) lower than the HGS150A (1,100)?
The longer 350 mm stretching stroke requires slightly more cycle time per bottle than the HGS150A's 320 mm stroke, particularly for 1.25-litre preforms with greater axial stretch requirements. The additional mold open stroke (200 mm vs 150 mm) also adds marginally to cycle time. The net effect is a modest reduction from 1,100 to 980 BPH maximum — in practical production, sustained operator output rates are very similar between the two models.
Does the HGS200A require a new compressed air installation?
The HGS200A requires 0.8 MPa operating air and 3.0 MPa blowing air. If your facility already runs the HGS150A or any other HGS model at 0.8 MPa, no new low-pressure compressor is needed — just connect the HGS200A to the existing 0.8 MPa line. The 3.0 MPa high-pressure supply requires a dedicated high-pressure compressor. Korea Ever-Power can recommend a matched compressor specification with the machine quotation.
What monthly output is realistic from one HGS200A on a single shift?
At 850 BPH sustained operator pace and 85% shift utilisation over 8 hours, one operator produces approximately 5,780 bottles per shift — about 127,000 units per month on a 22-day work schedule. At two shifts, approximately 254,000 units per month. For multi-SKU programs, subtract approximately 30–45 minutes per changeover from total shift production time.
Which heater model should I use with the HGS200A?
The HGJ-CL (96 positions, up to 68 mm neck, 200–2,100 preforms/hour) is standard for most beverage, personal care, and condiment preform neck finishes. The HGJ-B (18/36 positions, up to 130 mm neck, 500–1,000 preforms/hour) is selected when the preform neck finish exceeds 68 mm — typically wide-mouth jar formats rather than standard bottle formats. Specify your preform neck finish at the quotation stage.
Customer Reviews
"The HGS200A is our primary production machine for 1-litre and 1.25-litre juice and functional drink bottles — 6 SKUs alternating on the same machine across the week. The 200 mm mold capacity means our widest oval format (190 mm body) fits with clearance. We sustain 880 BPH on 1-litre round bottles and around 820 BPH on 1.25-litre formats."
HGS200A
"We upgraded from the HGS150A to the HGS200A when our shampoo bottle switched from a 145 mm round format to a 175 mm oval format. The HGS150A couldn't fit the new mold. The HGS200A handles both our old and new formats — we run them on alternate days. The 0.8 MPa air connects directly to our existing supply line."
HGS200A
"Good machine. Note: 980 BPH is the peak — plan your shift around 820–860 BPH sustained for a realistic production schedule. Our operator achieves 840 BPH consistently on our 1-litre soy sauce bottle. Korea Ever-Power's commissioning was thorough — the heater zone tuning for our preform took about 2 hours to dial in correctly."
HGS200A
"We use the HGS200A for packaging samples across our full 1L-1.25L client range — 8 different bottle designs in our sampling catalogue. Fast changeover (15–20 minutes per mold) means we can produce all 8 design samples in a single day. The 380×210 pillar space handles every format we stock including our widest rectangular bottle at 185 mm."
HGS200A
"We run two HGS200A machines side by side on a shared 0.8 MPa air line — one per SKU. Total output is 1,600–1,700 BPH across both machines with two operators. This gives us the flexibility of semi-automatic format switching on both machines while approaching small automatic line output levels. Investment was about 30% of a comparable automatic line."
