5 Fold HDPE Head for Precision Blow Molding
Boost the efficiency and precision of your blow molding operations with the 5 fold HDPE head—a standard spiral die head engineered for HDPE applications. Designed for high-performance extrusion, this head ensures smooth, even material distribution, consistent wall thickness, and excellent output quality.
Trusted by manufacturers, including our French customers, this extrusion head is built for reliability in demanding production environments.
What Is a 5 Fold HDPE Head?
The 5 fold HDPE head is a spiral extrusion die head used in blow molding systems to produce containers from high-density polyethylene (HDPE). The “5 fold” design refers to its five-channel spiral flow system, which allows molten polymer to distribute evenly before entering the die. This results in a uniform, high-quality product with minimal material stress or variation.
This type of extrusion head is ideal for precision applications where dimensional consistency, wall integrity, and surface finish are critical.
Designed for Consistent Material Flow
Spiral Flow Technology
The spiral design ensures that the HDPE resin flows evenly through all five channels, eliminating flow lines, streaks, or dead zones. This results in balanced wall thickness and better mechanical strength across the entire product.
The 5 fold HDPE head helps reduce scrap, minimize weight variation, and improve product appearance—essential for competitive manufacturing.
Max Die Size: 70 mm
With a maximum die size of 70 mm, this head is suitable for small to medium-sized containers and bottles. It’s a perfect fit for packaging industries requiring precise molding of food, cosmetic, or chemical containers made from HDPE.
