TECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONSMODULARITY - The machine’s structure allows the user to adopt various configurations, adding side stations without space limitation. The user can choose through a wide range of clamping forces, strokes, and neck cutting force to customize the machine based on application.
VERSATILITY - The machine is capable of producing plastic containers from 50 ml to 30 L in volume and the ability to process most common resins on the market. Our machine features include multi-layer capability, in-mold labeling, and aseptic blowing.
PERFORMANCE – The UCS’s high-quality and reliable components together with a brand new motion design assure incredible reliability combined with high-performance cycle times while achieving efficient resin consumption (0,27 kWh/kg of plastic extruded) and low maintenance. The use of a zero-backlash precision gearbox, driven by an AC brushless actuator with an absolute encoder, ensures unmatched repeatability. The new touch HMI interface with its intuitive guidelines for operators and a statistic processing control to keep production and machine parameters under control are sure to improve performance benchmarks.
MAINTENANCE – Easy to perform maintenance and ease of use is a significant focus of the new UCS. With the new design, users will appreciate the improved design making it easier to perform routine maintenance. Users will also notice the reduced number of spare parts needed in stock.

MULTILAYER
IN-MOLD LABELLING
VIEW STRIPE
Multilayer molding improves a container’s permeability properties and enhances the container’s performance by adding strength, heat resistance, opacity/light blocking, and shelf stability of the container’s contents. The Uniloy UCS machine can achieve up to 7 layers.
In-Mold Labelling often referred to as IML, is the application of a label(s) that takes place in the mold. The IML label is inserted into the mold during the blow molding process; the molten polymer fuses with the in-mold label on one or both sides. The result is a labeled part, produced in one step, eliminating the need for label application in your downstream IML packages.
A view stripe on a blow-molded part allows end-users to easily see the amount of product (food, chemical, etc.) inside the bottle via translucent strip molded into the part. The Uniloy UCS is a proven platform for achieving precise view stripes and is adjustable (left/right) without dismounting any part.

INCLINED NECKUniloy UCS Shuttle machines are capable of molding a wide range of Inclined Neck bottles. Often used for a wide range of container designs and particularly for cleaning products, this specialized design provides the ability to reach and clean surfaces with difficult angles such as toilet bowls.
CLEANROOM READY
ASEPTIC OPTIONS AVAILABLEUniloy offers an aseptic upgrade option equipping the UCS with special technologies and filters to produce medical, food, and beverage products, resulting in sterile containers.
The all-electric UCS is cleanroom ready and manufactured to precise standards to comply with medical manufacturing regulations. Uniloy’s combination of precisely configured blow molding technology and all-electric operation ensures your operations achieve the highest quality standards.
