What you see, shot by shot
The film opens at the out-feed. A flip-over unit takes four white bottles lying on their sides and tips them upright onto a green belt, under the title "Injection Blow Molding". Behind the bottles is the row of steel rods they came off, with red and orange hoses running to the block.
Next, the machine from the side: a white cabinet marked AM35, a stainless steel hopper on top and a green signal light.
The camera then goes in close on the mould. Four cavity inserts sit in a steel block, held by clamping bars. The mould opens, and four white preforms on their core rods lift out of the lower half. From a lower angle, with orange hoses fanned out in front, the mould closes, opens again, and the rods carry the preforms away.
The middle of the film stays on the mould plates: stacked steel plates, a row of steel braided hoses on screw fittings, and two orange hoses. Between the plates you catch a glimpse of the bare steel rods. The same plates are then shown from a second angle.
At the third station, four white bottles lie on horizontal rods. A stripper plate pushes them off, the four rods stand empty for a moment, and the next four bottles arrive. The flip-over unit sets the bottles upright on the green belt, and rows of white bottles with open threaded necks travel down the conveyor between its side rails.
The last machine shots are from the front: the red-painted upper housing, two steel bars crossed in an X, and the mould plates below, with orange hoses either side. Then the X linkage and the mould blocks move, close up.
The film ends with what to send us, then our website and WhatsApp number.
The AM35 is built by our sister factory. A small eye-drop bottle runs on it in 8 cavities at about 15 seconds a cycle, about 1,900 bottles an hour; a bottle of around 100 ml runs in 4 to 5 cavities at about 18 seconds, about 800–1,000 an hour. It moulds PP, PE and PS, with a maximum shot of 140 g (HDPE); the rest of its specifications are on our injection blow molding machines page. We cut the injection blow moulds for it in our own workshop, so you deal with one supplier for machine and mould.
See full specifications — bottle sizes, cavities and cycle times — on the injection blow molding machines page.

Video transcript
Four white bottles are carried out of the machine on a bar and set down upright on the green conveyor.
The machine from the side: an AM35, hopper and green light on top.
White preforms on the rods, at the mould halves.
Air lines run to the plate; the rods carry the preforms on.
Close up: the mould plates, with steel braided hoses and orange air lines running to them.
The mould plates and hoses, from another angle.
At the third station the bottles are stripped off the rods. Then the rods come round again with the next bottles.
The bottles are set down on the green belt and stand upright.
Row after row of white bottles travels down the conveyor.
Front view: the red head, the X-shaped linkage, and the mould plates below.
Close up: the linkage and the mould blocks moving, with air lines beside them.
