Company Profile
Aoki Technical Laboratory, Inc., Japan is specialized in planning, developing and manufacture of injection stretch-blow moulding machines, moulds, auxiliary equipment and parts for moulding plastic bottles.
Products / Technology
Injection stretch blow moulding machines
- General Purpose Machines
- Special Purpose Machines for Small Containers
- Special Purpose Machine for Narrow Neck Containers
- Special Purpose Machine for Wide Mouth Containers
- Aoki Series
Applications
- Container light-weighting and thin-walling technologies: Combining advanced technological development capabilities Direct Heatcon moulding technology: Blow technology designed to lighten the neck section, solutions to off-centering when molding ultra-thin oval bottles, and technologies for moulding containers with walls of even thickness and for countering vacuum deformation in wide mouth containers, enable the moulding of high added value containers. Light-weighting through the use of neck section blow technologies and other means also enables the moulding cycle to be shortened.
- Moulding technologies for different plastics: Heat resistance, air-tightness, chemical resistance, strength and impact resistance are just some of the increasing diversity of functions and characteristics required of containers. Stable container moulding is now possible with plastics such as PET, PC, PP, HDPE, HIPS, PEN, PE and PA that have varying characteristics.
- Moulding Technologies for specific container shapes and sizes: Oval container moulding technology, Off-center container moulding technology, Small containers, Thin-walled container moulding, Thick-walled container moulding, Grip containers, Handle containers, Long neck bottles
- Moulding technologies for 100% rPET: The AOKI eco project is a used PET bottle recycling system. The project enables 100% recycled PET flakes from washed and shredded used PET bottles to be used directly to produce new PET bottles. AOKI Series moulding machines are able to mould very high quality containers from 100% recycled PET flake material.
