Introduction
The global IBC tank market demands faster, greener production. HUAN Machinery’s blow molding line delivers 25 tanks/hour at just 7.5kw/tank .
In the world of making hollow plastic products, like IBC tanks, HUAN is doing something really different and better. You know how sometimes the old ways of making IBC tanks can be slow, use a lot of energy, and need lots of people to do the work? Well, HUAN has come up with a new way to make these tanks that fixes all those problems.
Imagine a production line that’s super fast, uses less energy, and doesn’t need as many workers. That’s what HUAN’s blow molding line does. It’s like having a super-efficient team that works really hard but uses less energy and gets more done. For folks who manage factories, design the production process, or need to buy new equipment, HUAN’s solution is a game-changer. It’s like upgrading from an old, clunky car to a brand-new, super-efficient one. You get more tanks made, faster, and with less hassle.

Full Automation Workflow
HUAN’s blow molding line is designed with full automation in mind, streamlining the production process and significantly reducing labor requirements. The step-by-step workflow is as follows:
Material Feeding：The process begins with a vacuum auto-loader (5HP) that efficiently feeds the raw materials into the system. Coupled with a gravimetric mixer capable of handling up to 450kg/hr, this setup ensures precise material preparation.
2. Blow Molding：The BSM1000L-2P machine, equipped with dual-layer extrusion technology, forms the IBC tanks. This advanced system allows for the production of high-quality tanks with consistent wall thickness and durability.
3. Post-Processing：Once the tanks are molded, a 6-axis robot arm takes over. It flips the tanks and performs auto-deflashing, trimming the top, bottom, and valve areas with precision. This automation eliminates the need for manual labor in these tasks.
The labor savings are substantial. Traditional production lines typically require 3-4 operators, whereas HUAN’s automated line needs just one. This not only reduces labor costs but also minimizes the risk of human error, ensuring consistent product quality.
A flowchart of the automated process can help readers visualize the seamless integration of these steps, highlighting the efficiency gains.
Quality Control & Durability
Quality and durability are non-negotiable in IBC tank production. HUAN’s blow molding line incorporates key components that ensure every tank meets the highest standards.
The aluminum mold, designed with a single cavity, offers faster cooling and a 15% shorter cycle time compared to traditional molds. This not only speeds up production but also enhances the quality of the final product. The leak-proof design is another critical feature. Dual-layer extrusion combined with 6bar pressure testing ensures that each tank is robust and reliable. This level of quality control is further validated by a case study from a client who reported zero tank failures over a 12-month period.
40% Higher Output: How It’s Achieved
Achieving an output of 25 tanks per hour is no small feat, especially when the industry average hovers around 15-18 tanks per hour. HUAN’s blow molding line accomplishes this through parallel processing and quick mold change capabilities.
Parallel processing allows molding and cooling to occur simultaneously, maximizing the use of time and resources. Additionally, the quick mold change feature, which takes less than 30 minutes, enables seamless transitions between different product lines. This flexibility is crucial for manufacturers who need to produce a variety of IBC tanks without significant downtime.
A data comparison table clearly illustrates the difference: 25 tanks per hour versus the industry average of 15-18 tanks per hour. This higher output translates to increased productivity and profitability for manufacturers.
In summary, HUAN’s HDPE IBC tank blow molding line offers unparalleled energy savings, full automation, and superior output. By leveraging advanced technology and innovative design, HUAN has created a solution that meets the demands of modern IBC tank production.
