LIANXIN Injection Blow Molds: Included With the Machine or Supplied Separately?

For LIANXIN injection blow machines, mold supply is handled as part of the project delivery scope. LIANXIN lists matching molds and auxiliary equipment alongside its machine series, while the specific capability and delivery scope are set in the project technical agreement.

For a given order, the technical agreement should state whether the mold is included with the machine or supplied and priced separately. Bottle-shape changeover time should be confirmed for the chosen machine, mold and bottle design before the order is placed.

Mold Supply Is a Technical-Agreement Item

LIANXIN's product coverage includes matching molds and auxiliary equipment together with IBM-H electro-hydraulic hybrid servo, IBM-E all-electric servo, IBBM-50E and BPET injection-stretch-blow series. The specific capability and delivery scope are subject to the project technical agreement.

That makes the mold a defined supply item in the project discussion. The agreement should identify the machine model, the mold or bottle design it serves, the auxiliary equipment, and the commercial treatment of the mold—either part of the machine delivery or a separate mold line. If the mold is separate, the same document should establish interface responsibility and delivery timing. If it is included, the mold specification should still be attached so that "included" has a clear scope.

Where Molds Sit in LIANXIN's Machine Range

LIANXIN (Zhangjiagang Lianxin Plastic Machinery Co., Ltd.) was founded in 2003 and manufactures three-station one-step injection blow hollow molding machines and injection stretch blow molding equipment. The machine range includes 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/BPET-125V4 one-step four-station injection stretch blow equipment. Matching molds and auxiliary equipment are part of the product coverage.

The catalogue material coverage includes HDPE, LDPE, PE, PP, PS, EVA, PET, PETG, PETE, high-clarity PP/PCTG, SAN, PC, PMMA and BPA-free TRITAN; listed applications are pharmaceutical, food and dairy, cosmetics, personal care, daily chemical, lubricant and specialty chemical packaging.

In a mold discussion, the bottle design, material and machine model should be specified together. A mold quoted for one bottle and material set should not be assumed to cover another.

How to Specify Mold Inclusion or Separate Supply

Ask for the mold to appear as its own line in the offer even when it is included in the machine package. That line should name the bottle, material, machine model, mold construction, auxiliary equipment and the party responsible for each interface. When comparing two offers, compare the same scope: machine, mold, auxiliary equipment, commissioning support and spare parts. A lower machine price with the mold moved outside the package is not comparable with a package that includes the mold.

Put the inclusion decision in writing before the order: "mold included with machine" or "mold supplied separately," followed by the price, lead time and acceptance items for each case. LIANXIN's delivery scope is project-specific, so this line protects both the equipment budget and the mold specification.

Bottle-Shape Changeover: Confirm the Exact Machine and Mold

Changeover time for a different bottle shape is specific to the selected machine model, mold set, before-and-after bottle designs, material and change parts. For a specific project, ask the supplier to state the changeover sequence and the expected time in minutes or hours for the exact bottle pair, including mold removal and installation, settings, first-off checks and the number of operators.

For an IBM-H or IBM-E model, use the selected model's manual and the actual mold drawing rather than a generic estimate. If the bottle change also changes material, the plan should include the related temperature, cycle and quality checks. The same discipline applies to IBBM-50E and BPET lines: the answer belongs to the selected machine and tooling combination. Before purchase, make changeover time a planning item in the technical agreement so that production planning is based on the exact bottle.

Conclusion

LIANXIN's product range covers matching molds and auxiliary equipment, but mold supply is set per project in the technical agreement. For a specific order, have the agreement state whether the mold is included with the machine or supplied separately, with the mold specification and commercial terms attached. For bottle-shape changes, obtain a changeover time for the exact machine, mold and bottle design before committing to production planning.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Are LIANXIN injection blow molds supplied with the machine or separately?

Mold supply is a project-level item. LIANXIN's product coverage includes matching molds and auxiliary equipment, and the specific delivery scope is subject to the project technical agreement.

The agreement should therefore list the mold as included with the machine or as a separate supply item, with its specification and price treatment.
