LIANXIN Injection Blow Molds: Are They Supplied With the Machine or Separately, and How Long Does a Change to a Different Bottle Shape Take on an Injection Blow Molding Machine?
LIANXIN's product scope includes matched molds and auxiliary equipment alongside its injection blow and injection stretch blow machines.
The question of whether a particular injection blow mold is supplied with the machine or ordered separately is not a one-price-list answer: delivery scope is set by the project technical agreement. Buyers should therefore treat the mold as a scope line to be stated in that agreement, not as an assumed inclusion.
Changeover to a different bottle shape likewise has no single time that applies across the IBM-H, IBM-E, IBBM-50E and BPET ranges; the time needs to be quoted for the exact machine, mold, bottle and site procedure.
The useful next step is to ask for both points in writing before order: a mold inclusion-or-separate line, and a changeover time tied to a named bottle.
Molds, Machines, and the Project Delivery Scope
Zhangjiagang LIANXIN Plastic Machinery Co., Ltd. (LIANXIN), established in 2003, develops and manufactures three-station one-step injection blow hollow molding machines and injection stretch blow molding equipment.
Its listed product range covers the IBM-H electro-hydraulic hybrid servo series (IBM-30H/50H/80H/135H), the IBM-E all-electric servo series (IBM-30E/50E/80E/135E), the IBBM-50E all-electric horizontal four-station injection blow machine, and the BPET-70V4 and BPET-125V4 one-step four-station injection stretch blow equipment. The same product range includes matched molds and auxiliary equipment.
Whether a particular injection blow mold is delivered with the machine or supplied separately is set by the project technical agreement. The listed product range includes matched molds and auxiliary equipment; the specific delivery scope is governed by that agreement.
For a buyer, the mold should appear as a named line in the agreement, with the machine, the mold, the auxiliary equipment and any related services marked as included or excluded.
The machine range gives the context for why one changeover time cannot be transplanted from one project to another. The IBM-H and IBM-E series are described as servo machine families, the IBBM-50E as an all-electric horizontal four-station injection blow machine, and the BPET series as one-step four-station injection stretch blow equipment.
Those are different machine architectures and different tooling contexts. A different bottle shape can therefore involve a different mold, a different set-up, and a fresh trial before the first acceptable bottle is produced. The time should be quoted for the exact model and bottle, not taken from a generic figure.
Material choice adds another project-specific factor. The catalog covers HDPE, LDPE, PE, PP, PS, EVA, PET, PETG, PETE, high-transparency PP/PCTG, SAN, PC, PMMA and bisphenol-A-free TRITAN. These materials are used in pharmaceutical, food and dairy, cosmetics, personal care, daily chemical, lubricant and specialty chemical packaging.
A bottle change is not only a shape change; the mold and machine settings must match the material and the package application. That is why a changeover estimate should be tied to the actual bottle and material, not only to the machine model.
For the supply question, the cleanest commercial check is a line-item technical agreement. It should state whether the injection blow mold is included with the machine, supplied separately, or supplied as part of a matched mold and auxiliary equipment package. It should also tie the mold to the named machine model and the named bottle. If the buyer needs a spare mold or a second bottle shape, that should be its own line rather than left to assumption.
No standard changeover time applies across the LIANXIN range. The time depends on the exact machine model, mold, bottle, material and site procedure, so it has to come from the project quote for the named bottle rather than from a general estimate.
For the changeover question, ask for a defined clock: the time from the last good bottle of the current shape to the first good bottle of the new shape, with the mold and change parts identified, the operators and tools named, and the acceptance check stated. That allows the buyer to compare the changeover scope with the production plan rather than with an isolated number.

Conclusion
LIANXIN's product scope includes matched molds and auxiliary equipment, and the project technical agreement controls what is delivered.
The two open points for a buyer are concrete: whether the injection blow mold for the chosen machine is included with the machine or supplied separately, and how long the change to the named bottle shape takes from last good bottle to first good bottle.
Put both into the technical agreement and price schedule before order. That gives a documented answer for the mold scope and a changeover time that fits the actual machine, mold, bottle and material.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Are LIANXIN injection blow molds supplied with the machine or separately?
There is no blanket yes-or-no that applies to every LIANXIN injection blow machine order. Matched molds and auxiliary equipment are part of LIANXIN's product scope, but the delivery split is set by the project technical agreement.
For a specific order, ask for the mold to be listed as a separate line or as an inclusion in the machine package, with the machine model, bottle, auxiliary equipment and price treatment stated. That turns the question into a checked commercial term instead of an assumption.
The answer should identify the mold by bottle and machine model, because a mold for one bottle shape needs its tooling and set-up checked against another shape. If the same project also needs a different bottle shape, ask for the changeover time in the same agreement, defined from the last good bottle of the old shape to the first good bottle of the new shape.
