AOKI ISBM Machines
Model Diversity, Technological Advantages, and Performance-Focused Production Solutions
AOKI injection stretch blow molding (ISBM) machines are advanced engineering solutions that deliver high speed, low energy consumption, wide material compatibility, and long-term production stability in plastic packaging manufacturing. These machines are based on the single-stage ISBM concept, which enables injection, stretching, and blowing to be performed in a single sequence, resulting in a far more efficient production cycle.
AOKI machines support the production of high-quality containers using materials such as PET, PP, HDPE, and rPET, while also offering the capability to process flake material directly. This feature reduces production costs and facilitates the efficient use of recycled raw materials.
AOKI ISBM Machine Model Family and Technical Performance
The AOKI product portfolio includes a wide range of ISBM machine models. These machines are configured to meet diverse application requirements, from small bottles to large containers. Below, the technical characteristics and operational advantages of the main model groups are explained in detail.
AL-100LL Series - Small and Medium-Volume Containers
AL-100LL series machines are optimized for the production of small and medium-sized containers with volumes ranging from 250 ml to 2,500 ml. These models deliver high efficiency for production facilities ranging from entry-level to medium scale.
Injection unit capacity: 7.2-13 oz (approximately 200-360 cc)
Hydraulic oil capacity: 245-600 L
Dimensions (L×W×H): approximately 3.5 × 1.3 × 3.1 m
Approximate weight: 4.2-7 tons
Production capability: high repeatability for products in the 250-2,500 cc range
This series is particularly suitable for non-returnable water bottles, soft drinks, cosmetic bottles, and small food containers. Its energy-efficient design and low scrap rate help optimize overall production costs.
AL-250 and AL-500 Series - High-Speed Mass Production
AL-250 and AL-500 models are designed for medium- and high-volume production facilities and are among the machines that significantly reduce target cycle times. These models provide:
High surface quality through advanced gas distribution control
Reduced product variation thanks to stable raw material flow
Increased overall production capacity through improved cycle efficiency
This series offers a wide production range in terms of bottle body diameter and dimensions, making it suitable for products with diameters up to 300-500 mm. Hourly output can be further increased through multi-cavity mold configurations.
AL-1000 Series - Large-Volume, Performance-Driven Production
AL-1000 series machines are developed to deliver high performance, stable production, and low energy consumption in large-volume container manufacturing. Key features include:
Wide injection capacity of approximately 63 oz
Multi-cavity molding with 12 to 20 outputs
Stable quality and high throughput for containers with large body diameters
These advantages allow the AL-1000 series to meet the demands of large-volume water, beverage, and product containers.
AL-1000 series machines provide controlled temperature and pressure profiles that optimize cycle times for volumes up to approximately 2,350 cc. This delivers significant advantages in terms of energy and time efficiency for high-volume market segments.
AL Series - Innovative Design and Wide Material Compatibility
One of AOKI's advanced machine families, the AL Series, offers high production performance despite its relatively simple structure. The main advantages of this series include:
Single-row mold configuration for higher stability
Shorter cycle times through process reduction from eight steps to six
Production support for various materials, including PP, HDPE, and PET
Simplified maintenance and easier mold changeover
AL series models provide ideal solutions for manufacturers seeking simpler, faster, and more flexible machines rather than complex systems.
Key Technical Advantages of AOKI Technology
Direct Heatcon - Single-Stage, Three-Station System
The Direct Heatcon technology used in AOKI machines performs injection, stretching, and blowing simultaneously in a single stage and across three stations. This technology ensures that:
Optimal temperature profiles are maintained
Cycle times are shortened
Energy efficiency and product quality stability are increased
By eliminating intermediate reheating or transfer processes, the single-stage system maximizes production speed and material efficiency.
High-Speed Mold Release and Fixed Nozzle Touch
Patented high-speed mold release and Fixed Nozzle Touch technologies reduce cycle times at the millisecond level, enabling faster cycles and higher output. These innovations directly increase hourly production capacity while making energy usage more efficient.
Production Flexibility and Material Compatibility
AOKI ISBM machines are not limited to PET alone; they offer the flexibility to process PET, PP, HDPE, rPET, PC, and other engineering plastics. This wide material compatibility provides a significant advantage for facilities producing containers with different geometries, wall thicknesses, and volumes.
And More: High Efficiency and Low Total Cost with AOKI
AOKI machines not only deliver high quality and fast production, but also provide low energy consumption, long-term production stability, and reduced operating costs. When integrated into a production line:
Energy costs are reduced
Scrap and reheating processes are minimized
Total cost of ownership is optimized
This combination makes AOKI machines a technology that delivers a strong global competitive advantage in plastic packaging production.
