Jomar launches next-gen injection blow moulding tech at K

Jomar Unveils IntelliDrive Series: A Breakthrough in Injection Blow Molding
Jomar Corporation, a global leader in injection blow molding (IBM) machinery, has launched its next-generation IntelliDrive Series, marking a significant leap in performance, efficiency, and cost savings for manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, healthcare, personal care, food & beverage, and household products industries.

Debuting at K 2016, the IntelliDrive Series introduces a custom-designed, servo-driven hydraulic system—a first-of-its-kind innovation developed in collaboration with Bosch Rexroth. This cutting-edge system brings dramatic enhancements in energy consumption, machine control, and operational reliability—all while maintaining the compact footprint of standard hydraulic models.

Revolutionary Performance with Energy Efficiency
The IntelliDrive Series is engineered to reduce energy consumption by 40–50%, thanks to precision servo-driven hydraulics. The machines boast an ultra-fast dry cycle time of just 1.8 seconds, making them significantly faster than conventional hydraulic IBM machines.

“This series takes injection blow molding to a new level,” said Ron Gabriele, Sales Manager at Jomar. “We’ve created a solution that cuts operating costs, increases production, and boosts profitability for our customers.”

Durable Engineering & Precise Control
Key enhancements in the IntelliDrive Series include:

Reinforced main platen: Reduces deflection for improved part quality and mold longevity.

Closed-loop clamp control: Delivers exact control over clamp speed and position, enabling faster, smoother operation with less stress on tooling.

Quick-change preform cylinder mounting system: Minimizes downtime for maintenance.

Digital displacement transducer: Provides enhanced clamp control and speed.

Variable-frequency drive: Supports secondary motor efficiency.

Sustainable and Cost-Effective
Jomar has successfully matched energy efficiency levels typically found in all-electric machines, while retaining the robustness and versatility of a hydraulic system. This results in:

40% less hydraulic oil usage

Over 50% reduction in cooling water requirements

Substantially lower ambient heat emissions

These factors contribute to a dramatically lower total cost of ownership.

Built for Long-Term Value
Despite the advanced technology, the IntelliDrive machines cost only 10–15% more than standard hydraulic models. Replacement parts remain affordable and readily available, avoiding the high replacement costs typically associated with electric or hybrid systems.

“We chose to invest in servo-hydraulic innovation because it delivers the energy efficiency customers demand without sacrificing durability or driving up repair costs,” said Carlos Castro, President of Jomar. “We believe this is a smarter solution for customers looking to maximize ROI and minimize operational risk.”

Extended Warranty & Customer Confidence
Jomar’s confidence in the IntelliDrive platform is reflected in its extended warranty—2.5 times longer than the standard coverage—further enhancing long-term value and peace of mind for customers.

Jomar IntelliDrive Series delivers unmatched precision, lower utility costs, and high-speed productivity—without compromise. It’s the next chapter in injection blow molding excellence.
