1. Product Overview
Applicable Industries: High-volume mineral water, carbonated soft drinks, budget cosmetics, and single-use packaging.
Core Advantages Summary: Trimming even a single gram off your PET preform weight translates to hundreds of thousands of dollars in annual resin savings. EVER POWER, leading the industry from the Netherlands, constructs two-stage stretch blow molding machines built specifically to conquer lightweighting. By utilizing absolute servo-driven stretching and intensive biaxial orientation, our equipment guarantees your bottles remain incredibly rigid and stackable, even with the thinnest walls possible.

3. The Mechanics of Thin-Wall Rigidity
When you reduce the gram weight of a preform, the margin for error disappears. A pneumatic stretch rod will stutter, causing the tiny amount of available plastic to pool at the base while the shoulders tear. EVER POWER resolves this through biaxial orientation powered by absolute servo control. The servo drives the rod down with millimeter-perfect velocity. Simultaneously, a 35-bar blast of air pushes the polymer against the mold. This intense dual-directional stretch aligns the plastic molecules so tightly that the resulting thin wall becomes incredibly rigid and capable of supporting massive pallet top-loads.
4. Top 5 Advantages for Maximum Profitability
💰 Massive Resin Savings
Dropping a 500ml bottle from 13g to 9g generates exponential raw material savings across millions of units.
🎯 Servo Superiority
Electric servo stretching guarantees that material doesn’t stick or thin out improperly, making lightweighting safe and viable.
📦 Intact Stackability
Precision molding of the base and shoulders ensures the bottle maintains complete vertical strength for high pallet stacking.
⚡ Fast Payback Period
The combination of high speeds (up to 9200 BPH) and lowered resin costs guarantees an incredibly rapid machine ROI.
❄️ Aluminum Tooling
Because there is less plastic to hold the heat, our rapid-cooling aluminum molds set the thin walls instantly, preventing warping.
5. Structure & Material Technology
A machine capable of handling ultra-thin plastics cannot have any structural play. EVER POWER mounts its servo units on massive, vibration-absorbing alloy steel frames. We strictly pair the machine with integrated high-pressure air recovery systems. This guarantees that the 35-bar blow pressure never fluctuates—if the pressure drops for even a millisecond on a lightweight bottle, the container collapses.
6. Typical Applications
High-Volume Mineral Water
Aggressive lightweighting with short-neck (29/25) preforms pushed at 9200 BPH.
Edible Oil Bulk Jugs
Reducing the heavy gram weight of 5L jugs while maintaining the strength to prevent bulging.
7. Selection Guide
To successfully lightweight, you must not skimp on auxiliary equipment. Ensure you select our turnkey chiller package; if the aluminum molds aren’t cold enough, the ultra-thin PET will warp upon ejection. Furthermore, you must select the EP.ES fully automated series to secure the servo-stretching features necessary for this operation.

11. Frequently Asked Questions
What is the lowest gram weight possible?
This depends heavily on the neck finish (e.g., 29/25 short necks) and bottle design, but our machines routinely process 500ml water bottles reliably down to 8.5g – 9g.
Does lightweighting affect production speed?
No. In fact, because there is less plastic mass to heat and cool, lightweighting often allows the machine to cycle even faster.
