UMR Applications

Unlioy Milacron Recip Reciprocating Screw Intermittent-extrusion Blow Molding System

While the UMR Series is the market leader in dairy, its robust design and flexible configuration makes it ideal for many other applications – both packaging and non-packaging.

• Dominates the lightweight HDPE container market
• Dairy product containers
• Food containers
• Household chemical containers
• Automotive products
• Recreational products

Uniloy Milacron’s neck-to-neck technology enables simultaneous blowing of two non-handled containers of less than 1 liter. The result is twice the output from a single machine, typically without needing a larger extruder.

Clean-Blow Technology

3-Layer Technology

Unlioy Milacron Recip Reciprocating Screw Intermittent-extrusion Blow Molding System

Meeting needs for HDPE milk bottles Uniloy Milacron introduced the first reciprocating blow molding machine capable of producing three-layer extended-shelf-life (ESL) bottles. It surpasses wheel and shuttle machines with 10-20% higher output in a smaller footprint, with 10-25% less energy use. Uniloy Milacron’s new cUMR2000-3L is designed for high-volume “through the wall” bottle production to match filler output. The containers are produced and sealed in a controlled environment with bacteria-free blow air.

• One liter non-handled 3L (white/black/white) container
• Finished container weight 30 grams
• Container top sealed in moulding process
• Container blown with sterile air system
• Air system sterilized with steam
• Layer percentages 40% outside/40% middle/20% inner
• Cycle time 8 seconds
• Machine output 5,400 one liter containers per hour
