Full-Process Custom Engineering

From material compatibility to mould and automation integration, projects follow a complete process of consultation, design and installation support.

02 Multi-Layer Co-Extrusion Technology

How it works: Multi-layer barrier bottles are formed by synchronously extruding and compounding materials with different characteristics. A typical high-barrier structure uses HDPE or PP for the structural layer, a thin EVOH or PA centre layer for barrier performance, and adhesive resin to reliably bond the layers together.

High Barrier Performance

The EVOH layer achieves an oxygen transmission rate ≤0.5 cc/m²·day·atm, far below typical monolayer packaging — ideal for oxygen-sensitive formulations and foods.

Cost-Effective Resin Use

Expensive barrier material is used as a thin middle layer, keeping material cost reasonable while retaining excellent shelf-life protection.

Recycled Material Compatible

The middle layer can be formulated with post-industrial or post-consumer recycled material for a more sustainable package structure.

04 Key Technical Features

Intelligent Control System

B&R (Austria) or MOOG (Japan) high-precision wall thickness controller. Remote diagnostic and data logging support online process optimisation.

Precision Extrusion System

Modular screw design for different resin rheology. Quick colour change completed in 30–80 minutes.

Layer Thickness Control

EVOH barrier layer can be controlled to 5–10 μm, with melt pump flow fluctuation ≤0.5% for consistent wall distribution.

Advanced Clamping Structure

Opposite clamping design with multi-point mould centre adjustment for easier installation and maintenance.

Servo Energy-Saving Drive

Servo technology provides high speed and stable stops while lowering overall energy consumption compared to traditional hydraulic systems.

Broad Material & Design Support

Suitable for single-layer through six-layer cosmetics, medical and food containers. Recycling layer can be added for sustainable structures.
