Optimize Your Extrusion Blow Molding Machine Production
Welcome to the Leka Machine production tool. This extrusion blow molding machine calculator is engineered to help manufacturers, plant managers, and engineers precisely estimate cycle times, material usage, and daily output efficiency. Whether you are configuring a new production line or optimizing an existing one, understanding the mathematical output of your machine is crucial for profitability.
How to Use This Simulator
Our tool simulates real-world scenarios for standard extrusion blow molding machines (EBM). Follow these steps to get an accurate forecast:
- Step 1: Configure Specs (配置参数): Input your mold details, including the number of cavities and target bottle weight. This determines the raw material throughput.
- Step 2: Cycle Time Estimation (周期估算): Enter your estimated cycle time. If you are unsure, standard EBM cycles typically range from 6s to 15s depending on bottle size and cooling efficiency.
- Step 3: Visualize Output (查看产量): The calculator will instantly project your hourly and daily production rates, helping you plan shifts and resin inventory.
*Note: This tool is compatible with calculations for HDPE, PP, and LDPE materials commonly used in the extrusion blow molding process.

Frequently Asked Questions about EBM Production
How is the daily output of an extrusion blow molding machine calculated?
The daily output is determined by three main factors: the cycle time (in seconds), the number of cavities in the mold, and the machine's operating hours (usually 20-24 hours). Our calculator uses the formula: (3600 / Cycle Time) × Cavities × Hours to provide an accurate estimation of your production capacity.
What factors affect the cycle time in blow molding?
Cycle time is critical for profitability. The main factors include the cooling time (which often takes up 60-70% of the cycle), the wall thickness of the bottle, and the efficiency of the extrusion blow molding machine itself. Leka Machine's equipment is optimized for rapid cooling and fast movements to minimize dry cycle time.
Does this calculator work for HDPE, PP, and LDPE materials?
Yes. While the material type mainly affects the shrinkage rate and cooling requirements, the basic output logic remains the same. This simulator is suitable for all common thermoplastic resins used in extrusion blow molding, including HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene), PP (Polypropylene), and LDPE.
How can I improve the efficiency of my production line?
To maximize efficiency, focus on reducing the cycle time without compromising bottle quality. This can be achieved by optimizing the mold cooling channels, selecting the right extrusion blow molding machine configuration (such as double-station machines), and ensuring regular maintenance of the extrusion head and clamping system.
