Wilmington Machinery Announces
Ultra High Speed 48 Cavity Blowmolding System
For Motor Oil, Detergent,
Food And Beverage Applications
Wilmington, NORTH CAROLINA --- Wilmington Machinery,
designers and builders of cost effective, highly specialized, quality
processing machinery, has introducing its new ultra high speed
Series III 48-cavity blow wheel and production line, designed for one
litre motor oil applications. The radial positioning feature of this
system also makes it ideal for liquid detergent plus food and
beverage applications.

Utilizing a patented dual parison technology combined with
patented radial positioning features, this simple-to-operate production
line is capable of more than 200 BPM. Among many unique benefits,
the Series III 48-cavity system discharges containers in single file
from the wheel into an integrated high speed rotary deflasher and
high speed rotary chipless neck finishing system. An optional rotary
leak detector and surface treatment mechanism provide customers
one-stop turnkey capabilities, making the Series III ideal for self
manufacturing or dedicated custom applications.
Wilmington Machinery’s unique approach to dual parison
technology utilizes a side-by-side concept in individual molds instead
of the front-to-back utilized by other wheel manufacturers. This
provides less flash, better trimming and enables single file container
discharge. Dual extruders and die heads give unlimited processing
ability that is crucial to achieving the 48-50 gram containers being
produced today. Series III extrusion systems are configured for each
application but most have outputs of 2500 to 3000 lbs/hour.
Wilmington’s dual parison machines can also be built with up to 60
cavities.
According to Jeff Newman, VP of Sales and Marketing for
Wilmington Machinery: “Our approach is to make it easy for
customers to manufacture bottles by providing the machinery, molds,
training and even installation. Coextrusion is almost standard today
for our high speed wheel systems. Some motor oil customers
recognize the advantage of using a two layer structure, especially in
time savings to make a color change. When a customer can save 2
cents or more per bottle, it’s easy to quickly see the advantages of
these high speed lines.”
Newman notes that complete facility proposals have included
compressed air, chilled water, resin handling, scrap handling and
automatic palletizing with strapper, stretch wrapping and pallet
conveying equipment.
For a quarter of a century, Wilmington Machinery has been
designing and building high quality specialty and standardized Rotary

Blow Molding Machines, Structural Injection Foam Machines and
Industrial Blow Molding Machines. For additional information contact:
