Wilmington Machinery Continues Development of Blow Molding Machines
Wilmington Machinery continues development of Long Stroke Shuttle Blow Molding Machines and Coextrusion Systems for rotary blow molding and other continuous extrusion blowing molding processes.
Wilmington Machinery continues development of Long Stroke Shuttle Blow Molding Machines to complement its current offering of high volume production Continuous Rotary Extrusion Blow Molding Machines.
The new machines will also be sized for high volume applications of monolayer, 3-layer, and barrier type handle ware, single serve drink and chemical packaging. They will be capable of calibrated neck finishes, integrated deflash /trim and in-mold labelling of containers ranging in capacity from 6 oz to 1.5 gallons.
Wilmington has also upgraded its Coextrusion Systems for rotary blow molding and other continuous extrusion blowing molding processes.
The new systems are available for single or dual parisions for all container sizes with 1, 3 or 6-layer construction. The company first introduced such systems in 1979 at the advent of barrier bottle production and sells them to companies that have proprietary wheel or other types of blow molding machinery platforms.
New to all Wilmington blow molding machinery products are the advanced control features. The new controls in addition to controlling the basic temperature, pressure, and parison profiling (programming) functions are significantly advanced in capability. Features include remote troubleshooting, SPC charting, trend analysis, graphing, and integrated auxiliary control all on a large "smart" flat colored panel display.
Since 1979 Wilmington has built Coextrusion Systems and Rotary Blow Molding primary machinery for the largest bottle makers worldwide and integrated turnkey systems for turnkey installations. It is headquartered in a modern 65,000 SF manufacturing facility fronting I-40 in the Atlantic Port City of Wilmington, North Carolina, USA.
Featured Product

Model TR1 Tru-Trac
The Model TR1 Tru-Trac® linear measurement solution is a versatile option for tracking velocity, position, or distance over a wide variety of surfaces. An integrated encoder, measuring wheel, and spring-loaded torsion arm in one, compact unit, the Model TR1 is easy to install. The spring-loaded torsion arm offers adjustable torsion load, allowing the Model TR1 to be mounted in almost any orientation - even upside-down. The threaded shaft on the pivot axis is field reversible, providing mounting access from either side. With operating speeds up to 3000 feet per minute, a wide variety of configuration options - including multiple wheel material options - and a housing made from a durable, conductive composite material that minimizes static buildup, the Model TR1 Tru-Trac® is the ideal solution for countless applications.
