Products description

Designed around your product

Accumulator-head extrusion blow molding for products up to 25 L, with a 4 L accumulator head and a stationary mold. The TDB series is Tongda’s stationary-mold accumulator-head range for drums and larger hollow products. According to the 2026 catalogue, its high-output extrusion system gives uniform plasticizing and fast color and material changes, and its hydraulic servo energy-saving system lowers operating costs. Share your product drawing to discuss the mold, head arrangement and handling requirements.

How to read the specifications

The figures reproduce the 2026 catalogue. The dry cycle is the machine cycle without a product, and HDPE output is the extruder’s plasticizing capacity; finished-product output depends on resin, weight, cavity arrangement, cooling and the production cycle. Installed power is connected equipment power, not measured energy use.

Ask our engineers

Machine selection & options

How do I choose between a single-station and a double-station machine?

Small continuous-extrusion machines are normally available as single- or double-station models. The difference is output: a single-station machine spends more of each cycle on mold movement out and back.

What output can the machine achieve?

Output depends on the product volume, its widest diameter and the mold cooling conditions. Please send the product dimensions and weight first; we will recommend a suitable mold material for your requirements.

What are typical product weights?

For oil-can style containers: 1 L conventional about 70 g; 4 L about 180–200 g; 5 L about 200–240 g.

Can the machine remove flash automatically?

Yes. Our equipment can be configured for automatic flash removal.

How good is the automatic deflashing result?

The result depends on the mold, the mold material and the product shape. We will recommend the best scheme for your machine.

Can a product have two handles?

Yes.

How do I choose between a hot and a cold cutter?

Conventional products use a cold cutter, which is easier to handle. For in-mold labeling, thinner-walled products, or PP, PVC and PETG materials, a hot cutter is more suitable.

Which bottle necks need to be trimmed?

For wide-mouth bottles, larger-diameter jars and products that will be heat-sealed later, we recommend a rotary-cut neck.

Plastic bottle neck finish examples

Can you make products with an angled neck?

Yes, depending on the angle. Please send product pictures so we can confirm.

Can a logo and date be added to the product?

Yes. We can engrave the mold with your logo, company name, date, number, telephone and other details to order.

Can all products be labeled?

Yes. Based on your bottle shape and labeling requirements we recommend a suitable labeling method, such as in-mold labeling, self-adhesive labeling or hot-melt labeling.

What is a liquid level line?

The height of the liquid in a container is its liquid level. A transparent stripe on the container that shows this level is called a liquid level line, and it makes the contents easy to check.

How is a liquid level line added? Can it be retrofitted?

The level lines we commonly use are Φ22 and Φ30. Φ22 is installed on the die head; Φ30 is installed on the plasticizing system.

Yes, it can be added later. On a single die-head machine, replace the die head body, fit a through ring, add a throttle plug and throttle plug seat, and install an extrusion system. On a multi-head machine, the die body, through ring, throttle plug and seat are needed for each die head.

Can my existing molds be used on this machine?

Please send the specific information of your existing molds. Our engineers will confirm whether they can be installed directly on our machine.

Production troubleshooting

How do I correct a level line that is not straight?

First make sure the parison hangs straight front to back, then adjust the two adjustment screws behind the die.

Close-up of an industrial blow pin

How do I remove vertical stripes on the surface?

Polish the die sleeve.

How do I deal with cold spots on the surface?

1) If the die pre-blow is too strong, reduce it.

2) If the mold temperature is too low, raise it.

3) If mold venting is insufficient, add mold vents.

What if the flash cannot be knocked off?

1) If the clamping pressure is too low, increase it.

2) If the mold flash grooves are too shallow, deepen them.

3) If the mold is not flat, adjust it.

4) If the platen is not flat, adjust it.

Why does the handle not blow out fully?

1) The clamping speed is too fast: adjust the process time and close the mold more slowly.

2) The mold pinch-off edge is too sharp or has burrs: repair the edge.

3) The handle shape is unsuitable: the process was not considered in the mold design.

4) The die is too small or the pre-blow too weak: enlarge the die or adjust the pre-blow.

5) The parison is not round or has wrinkles: remake the die and increase die pressure.

6) The mold temperature is too high, so material breaks when the mold closes: control mold temperature with cooling water and a chiller.

7) For handles blown inside the mold: the in-mold blow needle may be too short, or it may fire too early or too late; the blow-needle cylinder design may also be unsuitable. A blow-while-piercing cylinder uses a single action and is less stable; a pierce-then-blow cylinder is more stable but needs a longer mold opening and closing stroke on the machine.

What if the four corners of the product are thin?

1) Adjust the corresponding wall thickness (the effect is limited).

2) Modify the die at the four corners. The parison leaves the die with a uniform wall, so for a square product with stretched corners, material must be added at the matching corners of the die — usually by reworking the die sleeve; a segmented die core can also be reworked.

How do I deal with excess material at the product neck?

1) The cutter did not cut cleanly and the neck did not open when the blow needle descended, dragging material. Check whether the blade is blunt or damaged and whether its fixing screws are loose; die pre-blow and constant blowing can also contribute.

2) The blow needle is the wrong size: modify it.

3) The pinch-off edge angle is wrong or its diameter is too small: modify the mold edge.

4) The process timing is wrong: adjust the pre-blow time and the blow needle's descending speed.

What if the product is badly deformed?

1) Correct any abnormal die shape.

2) The product is not cooled enough: lower the cooling water temperature or extend the cycle.

Purchase, certification & service

What warranty comes with a Tongda machine?

The standard warranty is 14 months from shipment from the factory. During the warranty period, parts that fail without misuse or accidental damage are replaced.

Are installation, commissioning and training included?

Operator training and factory layout planning are included. Installation and commissioning are quoted separately, so ask for them as a line item in your quotation.

Are Tongda machines CE marked?

The HT, HTS, HW, HWS, HS, HSE, EH, ME, CF, TDY, TDB, TDW, TDBS and TDBX series are covered by a Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC attestation of conformity issued by UDEM International Certification (certificate M.2025.206.C121093, valid until 19 June 2030), assessed against EN ISO 12100, EN 422 and EN 60204-1.

Which PLC, touch screen and hydraulic brands are used?

Machines are built on a Mitsubishi, Siemens or Inovance control platform, depending on the series and your choice. The parison wall-thickness controller is MOOG on the Mitsubishi platform and system-integrated on the Siemens and Inovance platforms. Hydraulic valves are Yuken and hydraulic pumps are Sumitomo. Each machine page lists the platforms available for its series.

Does Tongda supply PET stretch blow molding or injection blow molding machines?

No. Tongda builds extrusion blow molding machines for HDPE, PP, PVC, PC and similar materials, from small bottles to 250 L drums, IBC tanks and large panels.
