PET bottles are made by stretch blow moulding preforms. Choosing between a semi-automatic and a fully automatic machine depends on your target output, budget and labour.
Semi-automatic PET blowing machine
Preforms are loaded manually while blowing is automatic. It is economical, compact and ideal for start-ups and small-to-medium production.
- Output: typically 800–1,200 bottles/hour.
- Lower initial investment.
- Needs more manual labour.

Fully automatic PET blowing machine
Preform feeding, heating and blowing are fully automated for high-speed, unattended production.
- Output: typically 2,000–6,000 bottles/hour.
- Consistent quality, low labour, low scrap.
- Higher investment, best for scale.

Which one should you choose?
Choose semi-automatic if you are starting out or have moderate volumes and want to control costs. Choose fully automatic if you need high output, consistency and minimal labour. Many businesses start semi-automatic and upgrade as demand grows.
