Molten resin from the plasticizing unit is injected into the preform cavity under high pressure (150kN clamping force). The servo-controlled screw ensures precise shot volume and consistent material density. Preform geometry is carefully designed to provide optimal material distribution for subsequent stretching operations.

The preform rotates to the conditioning station where nano-far-infrared heating maintains optimal temperature distribution (typically 95-110°C for PET). Temperature profiling along the preform length ensures uniform molecular orientation during stretching. The 250mm conditioning stroke provides adequate thermal soak time.

A stretch rod extends 250mm vertically while high-pressure air (2.0-3.5 MPa) inflates the preform against the cooled blow mold cavity. Biaxial orientation strengthens molecular structure, enhancing clarity, barrier properties, and impact resistance. The 200kN clamping force contains inflation pressure reliably.

The mold opens and the finished bottle is extracted via the 170mm take-out stroke mechanism. Automated ejection delivers bottles to the collection conveyor while the turntable indexes, bringing the next station into position. The continuous cycle maintains steady production flow without manual intervention.
