Bottle manufacturers serving diverse markets need production
equipment that adapts quickly to changing customer requirements
without sacrificing output quality. The MEPER 80FDE-4S(100)
extrusion blow molding machine is engineered with mold flexibility
at its core, accommodating custom mold sets up to 480x500mm within
a generous 240-600mm platen opening range. The machine's 4-cavity
architecture supports both single-cavity molds for large or complex
bottle designs and multi-cavity configurations for high-volume
standard bottle production. A 120kN clamping force applied through
540mm toggle stroke provides sufficient mold closure pressure for
the full range of mold sizes while positioning holes integrated
into the platen system enable rapid mold alignment and changeover.
For contract manufacturers producing bottles for multiple brands
across different industries, this mold flexibility translates
directly into business agility, allowing the same machine to
produce water bottles in the morning, cosmetic containers in the
afternoon, and pharmaceutical bottles the next day, all through
straightforward mold changes rather than requiring dedicated
machines for each product category.
Key Features- Generous 480x500mm Mold Accommodation: The spacious platen area supports custom molds for bottles with
unique geometries, handles, or decorative features while
maintaining the clamping precision needed for consistent bottle
quality across all cavities.
- 240-600mm Variable Platen Opening: The wide opening range accommodates molds of different thicknesses
without requiring spacer plates or platen modifications,
simplifying the transition between thin-wall lightweight bottles
and heavier-duty container designs.
- Positioning Hole Quick-Change System: Pre-drilled positioning holes on both platens in a standardized
pattern enable mold changes with minimal alignment time, reducing
changeover downtime that eroding production capacity in multi-SKU
operations.
- 120kN Adaptive Clamping Force: The hydraulic clamping system provides consistent closure force
across the full mold size range, with pressure adjustment
capability to optimize for different mold designs without requiring
mechanical modifications.
- Versatile Cavity Configuration: While optimized for 4-cavity production, the mold mounting system
supports 1-cavity, 2-cavity, and 3-cavity configurations for larger
or more complex bottle designs within the 500ml capacity range.
- Mold Cooling Circuit Compatibility: The platen design includes standardized cooling water connection
points aligned with the 0.4 m³/min system capacity, supporting mold
cooling configurations ranging from simple single-circuit to
complex multi-zone temperature-controlled mold cooling for
challenging designs.
- Toggle Stroke Capacity: 540mm of toggle stroke travel provides the mold opening clearance
needed for bottles with deep draw ratios or complex parting line
geometries that require extended ejection travel.

ApplicationsThe mold flexibility of the 80FDE-4S(100) makes it the machine of
choice for contract bottle manufacturers and multi-brand packaging
operations. A contract manufacturer serving cosmetics, food, and
household chemical clients can maintain a library of
customer-specific molds and switch between them on the same machine
platform, maximizing equipment utilization and minimizing capital
investment. Private label bottle producers serving supermarket
chains and retail brands benefit from the ability to produce
bottles with different design languages, handle configurations, and
labeling surfaces from the same machine. Start-up beverage and
personal care brands appreciate the flexibility to begin production
with simple bottle designs and transition to more complex custom
molds as their brand identity evolves, without requiring a machine
upgrade. Industrial packaging operations producing containers for
automotive fluids, agricultural chemicals, and cleaning products
leverage the robust 120kN clamping and 480x500mm mold capacity for
heavier-duty bottle designs with thicker walls and reinforced
handle features.
Packaging and Quality AssurancePre-shipment quality verification for each 80FDE-4S(100) includes
mold mounting interface dimensional verification, platen
parallelism measurement under clamping load, mold changeover time
trial using standardized test molds, and full system validation
across multiple mold configurations. Export packaging utilizes
ISPM-15 certified fumigated heavy-duty pallets rated for the
8.6-ton machine weight, specialized platen surface protection with
corrosion-inhibiting film and rigid covers, and vibration-dampening
supports at all mold mounting points. Included accessories: mold
mounting bolt kit with hardened steel fasteners in common metric
sizes, platen cleaning and maintenance kit, mold alignment tools
including dial indicator with magnetic base, and comprehensive
English-language mold installation and setup guide with recommended
torque values. CE and ISO9001:2008 certificates. Standard 12-month
warranty covering all clamping and mold interface components;
on-site mold setup optimization and operator training for mold
change procedures available.
