서론: 원스텝 IBM이 소형 병(3ml~100ml)에 적합한 이유
Aibim, a Wanplas factory, is a specialist in injection (stretch) blow molding machines, with more than 12 years of focused experience in this hollow-molding technology and machines running in over 40 countries. The Aibim product family covers bottles from 3ml to 1000ml, and the small-bottle segment of 3ml to 100ml is where one-step injection blow molding (IBM) delivers its clearest advantages. Small containers such as pharmaceutical droppers, unit-dose vials, cosmetic sample pots, oral-care dispensers and food-condiment mini bottles demand tight neck threads, clean flash-free bodies and consistent wall distribution that larger, less precise processes struggle to hold at scale.
This article explains how the Aibim three-station, one-step IBM process produces small bottles from 3ml to 100ml with high repeatability, and how the real Aibim machine models IBM75, IBM65 and IBM55 Hybrid Electric are configured for this work. You will learn the step-by-step process, the material choices for pharmaceutical, food, drink and cosmetic applications, the quality and energy-saving features built into the platform, and a practical selection table that maps bottle volume to the correct Aibim model and resin. By the end, you should be able to specify a production solution with confidence and request a tailored configuration from the factory.
One-step IBM is the right lens for small bottles because the parison and the finished bottle are created in a single, enclosed, three-station cycle. There is no separate preform stage, no reheating oven and no manual transfer that can introduce contamination or dimensional drift. For bottles measured in single-digit or low-double-digit milliliters, that integrated control is the difference between a clean, thread-true container and a scrap-heavy, inconsistent one. The remainder of this guide walks through the technology, the machines, the materials and the buying decision in depth.
원스텝 사출 블로우 몰딩(3스테이션 공정)이란 무엇인가요?
One-step injection blow molding is a fully integrated hollow-molding process in which a plastic parison is injected, transferred and blown into the final bottle within a single machine and a single cycle, without removing the part from the machine between stages. Aibim machines use a three-station, one-step layout: an injection station, a blow station and an ejection (stripper) station, arranged around a rotating core-rod or transfer system.
The three stations operate as follows. At the injection station, molten resin from the plasticizing barrel is injected around a core rod to form a precisely dimensioned parison whose open end already carries the finished bottle neck and thread. At the blow station, the heated parison on the core rod is transferred into the blow mold, where compressed air expands it against the cooled cavity wall to set the bottle body, base and sidewall. At the ejection station, the finished bottle is stripped from the core rod and discharged, while the core rod returns to the injection station for the next cycle. Because the neck is molded by injection rather than cut, trimmed or blown, it carries sharp, repeatable threads and a clean sealing surface.
The one-step designation matters for small bottles specifically. In a two-step process the parison is first molded as a preform, cooled, stored, reheated in an oven and then blown. Each handoff adds thermal history, handling and tolerance risk. For a 5ml dropper bottle or a 15ml cosmetic vial, that extra variability shows up directly as off-spec necks, thin spots and higher reject rates. One-step IBM keeps the parison at the correct temperature and orientation from injection to blow, which is why it dominates precision small-container production for pharmaceuticals and cosmetics.
Aibim frames this as a three-station, one-step hollow molding machine. The clamping framework uses a single crossbeam with double poles, which enlarges the mold setting space and makes tool changes straightforward even when cavity counts grow. The hydraulic system uses PREFILL technology with a variable displacement pump for pressurizing, which reduces energy draw during clamp open and close. These structural and hydraulic choices are what allow the same platform to serve both micro bottles and larger containers without compromising small-part precision.
사출 블로우 성형은 사출 성형과 블로우 성형을 결합합니다. 플라스틱 원료는 먼저 사출을 통해 파리슨으로 만들어진 다음, 블로우 성형을 통해 원하는 플라스틱 제품으로 불어져 3-스테이션, 원스텝 공정으로 완성됩니다.
The core-rod transfer between stations is the mechanical heart of the one-step cycle. After injection, the core rod carrying the hot parison indexes to the blow station without the part leaving its supporting mandrel, so the parison wall temperature and orientation are preserved exactly. This is why the blow stage can begin immediately at the optimal stretch temperature rather than after a reheating ramp. The third station then strips the cooled bottle and returns the core rod for the next injection, giving a continuous, balanced rhythm in which the three stations work in parallel rather than sequentially waiting on one another.
Temperature control is equally decisive for small bottles. Because the parison is thin and the bottle is small, even a few degrees of drift changes wall distribution and neck set. Aibim manages this with zoned barrel temperature control, a tuned cooling circuit in the blow mold, and stabilized core-rod temperature so that consecutive shots stay within a tight band. The result is a process window that operators can hold shift after shift, which is the foundation of the low scrap rates that make one-step IBM economical for 3ml to 100ml production.
IBM75: 3ml~1000ml용 헤비듀티 원스텝 플랫폼
The IBM75 is the largest and most capable model in the Aibim lineup, built on a 75-ton clamping platform that spans the full 3ml to 1000ml bottle range while remaining well suited to high-cavitation runs of small 3ml to 100ml bottles. For producers who want one machine that can make a 100ml cosmetic bottle today and a 500ml pharmaceutical container tomorrow, the IBM75 offers the broadest flexibility in the family.
Its heavier clamping frame and larger platen accommodate multi-cavity molds for micro bottles, so a single IBM75 can output a high number of 10ml or 30ml units per cycle. The machine carries the full Aibim feature set: PREFILL hydraulics with a variable displacement pump, SD card parameter storage, CE-certified safety with a long-distance digital laser sensor at the stripper station and a light curtain for personal safety, and the single-crossbeam double-pole clamping framework. The values below are representative Aibim configurations; exact figures are confirmed against the customer bottle drawing and chosen resin.

IBM75는 생산자가 한 플랫폼에서 소형 병과 대형 용기를 모두 필요로 하거나, 진단 시약 바이알 또는 대중 시장 화장품 샘플과 같은 대량 3ml~100ml 제품에 사이클당 최대 캐비티가 필요한 경우 자연스러운 선택입니다.
IBM65: 소형 병용 중급 정밀도
The IBM65 sits in the middle of the Aibim range and is purpose-built for the core small-bottle window of 3ml to 100ml, with headroom up to about 500ml. It pairs a 65-ton clamping platform with the same three-station one-step architecture, making it the workhorse for cosmetic droppers, pharmaceutical vials, food-condiment mini bottles and drink shot containers where precision and uptime matter more than maximum platen size.
Compared with the IBM75, the IBM65 occupies a smaller footprint and draws less installed power while preserving the neck-precision and flash-free benefits that define one-step IBM. It is the recommended default for most dedicated small-bottle lines because it balances cavitation, floor space and energy use. The representative specifications below are validated with the customer drawing and resin before order confirmation.

IBM55 하이브리드 전동: 에너지 절감 마이크로 병 전문가
The IBM55 Hybrid Electric is the smallest and most energy-conscious model in the Aibim range, engineered for micro bottles from 3ml up to about 250ml, with the 3ml to 100ml window as its sweet spot. The hybrid electric design combines servo-driven efficiency with the proven Aibim three-station one-step process, making it ideal for laboratories, pilot lines, premium cosmetic sampling and pharmaceutical unit-dose production where power draw and clean operation are priorities.
Because micro bottles use very little material per shot, the IBM55 Hybrid shines on energy and cleanroom-friendly operation. It still carries PREFILL-based hydraulics where needed, SD card recipe storage, CE safety and the single-crossbeam double-pole clamping framework, but with a smaller installed motor and tighter thermal control suited to thin-wall, low-gram-weight parts. Representative values below are confirmed with the customer drawing and resin.
| Parameter | IBM55 Hybrid (representative) | Notes for 3ml to 100ml bottles |
|---|---|---|
| Process type | Three-station, one-step IBM (hybrid electric) | Servo-assisted efficiency |
| 사출 clamping force | 55 tons (approx. 550 kN) | Fine control for micro necks |
| Blow clamping force | 55 tons (approx. 550 kN) | Suitable for low cavitation |

IBM55 Hybrid Electric은 수동 또는 2단계 소형 병 생산에서 자동화된 원스텝 IBM으로 전환하는 기업, 또는 프리미엄 마이크로 포장을 위해 정밀하고 저에너지 기계가 필요한 브랜드에게 권장되는 시작점입니다.
원스텝 대 투스텝: 소형 병의 장점
The clearest way to justify one-step IBM for 3ml to 100ml bottles is to compare it directly with the two-step alternative. In two-step blow molding, a preform is injection molded, fully cooled, stored, then reheated and blown in a separate machine. For large carbonated bottles that logistics model is efficient; for tiny pharmaceutical and cosmetic bottles it introduces avoidable risk.
One-step IBM keeps the parison on the core rod at the correct temperature from injection through blow, which protects neck geometry and wall uniformity. There is no flash because the parison is sized to the cavity, and there is no preform scrap or reheat energy. The enclosed single machine also reduces human contact, an important factor for sterile or clean pharma and cosmetic filling. The table below summarizes the comparison on the factors that matter most for small bottles.
| Factor | One-Step IBM (Aibim) | Two-Step Process |
|---|---|---|
| Neck and thread precision | Excellent; neck molded by injection | Good; neck set at preform stage, reheated |
| Flash and scrap | Minimal; no preform, no gate scrap | Preform sprue and reheat losses |
| Thermal history | Single controlled thermal cycle | Two thermal cycles with storage between |
| Contamination risk | Low; enclosed single machine | Higher; preform handling and storage |
| Floor space | One integrated machine | Preform machine plus reheating blow machine |
| 에너지 use | Lower; no reheat oven, 35% saving vs conventional hydraulic | Higher; reheating oven required |
| Best fit | 3ml to 100ml pharma, cosmetic, food, drink | Larger volumes and some PET applications |
| Changeover | Mold and recipe change on one platform | Two machines to coordinate |
For the small-bottle producer, the practical conclusion is straightforward: one-step IBM trades the preform logistics of two-step for tighter quality and lower operating cost per good bottle. The savings compound at high cavitation, where scrap reduction and energy efficiency directly improve margin on every 5ml or 30ml unit shipped.
제약, 식품 및 화장품 소형 병의 재료 옵션
Aibim IBM machines process a broad resin set: PE (HDPE, LDPE, LLDPE), PP, PS, ABS, SAN, TPU, PC and PCTG. The right choice depends on the product inside the bottle, the required clarity, the barrier and the regulatory posture of the application. For 3ml to 100ml containers, material selection is as important as machine selection because the wall is thin and the neck must seal reliably.
PP and HDPE dominate pharmaceutical droppers and vials because they are chemically tolerant, easy to seal and available in grades suited to medical and food contact. PCTG and SAN are favored for clear cosmetic bottles where sparkle and gloss matter, while PC serves premium transparent containers with higher heat resistance. PS is common for low-cost single-use sampling, and TPU is used where flexibility or soft-touch properties are needed. The table below maps each resin to its small-bottle role.
| Material | Key properties | Small-bottle use (3ml to 100ml) | Typical sector |
|---|---|---|---|
| HDPE | Good chemical resistance, opaque, tough | Dropper bottles, tablet vials, sample jars | Pharmaceutical, cosmetic |
| LDPE / LLDPE | Flexible, soft, squeezable | Eye drops, soft dispensers, mini squeeze bottles | Pharmaceutical, personal care |
| PP | Heat tolerant, low extractables, recyclable | 단위-dose vials, oral-care dispensers, food mini pots | Pharmaceutical, food, drink |
| PS | Stiff, clear or opaque, low cost | Single-use sampling, promotional mini bottles | 화장품, promotional |
| ABS | Rigid, impact resistant, glossy | Sturdy cosmetic jars, cap-integrated bodies | 화장품 |
| SAN | Clear, rigid, glossy, chemical stable | Clear cosmetic sample bottles, display vials | 화장품 |
| TPU | Flexible, soft-touch, abrasion resistant | Soft dispensers, squeezable applicators | 화장품, personal care |
| PC | Transparent, high heat resistance, strong | Premium transparent vials, reusable mini bottles | 화장품, premium drink |
| PCTG | Clear, tough, BPA-free, glossy | Premium clear cosmetic and pharma sampling bottles | 화장품, pharmaceutical |
All of these resins run on the same Aibim platform; the difference is in barrel temperature profile, cooling time and mold surface finish. Aibim configures the plasticizing unit and cycle parameters per resin so that clarity, warpage and neck quality are held within spec for the chosen bottle. Regulatory posture also guides selection: food and pharmaceutical contact grades should meet the relevant food-contact and medical reference standards such as FDA, EU 10/2011 and ISO 10993 depending on market, and Aibim can advise on resin families and grades that suit those expectations. Buyers should still validate the final bottle and resin combination with their own compliance testing, but the broad material set means the same machine can serve both a cosmetic PCTG serum and a pharmaceutical HDPE dropper without hardware change.
적용 분야: 소형 IBM 병이 사용되는 곳
Aibim 원스텝 IBM 플랫폼은 의약품, 식품, 음료 및 화장품의 네 가지 핵심 응용 분야를 지원합니다. 3ml~100ml 범위 내에서 각 분야는 3스테이션 공정이 충족하기에 적합한 고유한 병 모양과 품질 기대치를 가지고 있습니다.
In pharmaceutics, small IBM bottles appear as dropper bottles for eye and ear preparations, oral-dose vials, diagnostic reagent tubes and single-use sample containers. The enclosed one-step cycle limits contamination, and the injected neck guarantees a leak-tight seal with standard dropper caps. In food, the same machines produce mini sauce and condiment bottles, honey and jam sample pots, and portion-control dispensers where tamper-evident, flash-free necks are required. In drink, 3ml to 100ml shot bottles and sampler mini bottles benefit from consistent wall thickness and clean appearance. In cosmetic, the segment is broad: serums, essences, travel-size shampoos, perfume samples, foundation mini pots and promotional giveaway bottles all rely on the clarity and precision that one-step IBM delivers.
Because Aibim machines handle PE, PP, PS, ABS, SAN, TPU, PC and PCTG, a single production cell can serve multiple of these fields with a mold and recipe change rather than a new machine. That flexibility is especially valuable for contract packers and private-label brands that run many small SKUs. The neck precision and absence of flash also reduce downstream leakage complaints, which protects brand reputation in pharmaceutical and cosmetic markets where a single faulty seal is costly.
Within each field the bottle economics differ. Pharmaceutical and diagnostic bottles are usually lower volume but higher margin and higher quality expectation, so neck accuracy and clean handling dominate the buying decision. 화장품 bottles are often higher volume with strong emphasis on visual clarity and gloss, so material choice and surface finish lead. 식품 and drink mini bottles sit between, balancing cost, barrier and tamper evidence. The Aibim platform serves all four from one technology base, which lets a growing brand add fields without relearning a process or reinvesting in unrelated equipment.
병 생산량에 맞는 올바른 IBM 모델 선택 방법
Selecting the correct Aibim model starts with the bottle volume, then layers in cavitation, resin and output target. For the 3ml to 100ml small-bottle segment, the IBM55 Hybrid, IBM65 and IBM75 each cover the range, but they differ in scalability, footprint and energy profile. The guidance below maps common small-bottle volumes to a recommended Aibim platform and resin.
| Bottle volume | Recommended Aibim model | Recommended material | Why this combination |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3ml to 15ml (micro) | IBM55 Hybrid Electric | PP, HDPE, PCTG | Micro shots, low energy, precise necks |
| 10ml to 30ml | IBM55 Hybrid or IBM65 | PP, HDPE, SAN, PCTG | 유연성 between pilot and volume runs |
| 30ml to 60ml | IBM65 | HDPE, PP, PCTG, PC | Balanced cavitation and floor space |
| 60ml to 100ml | IBM65 or IBM75 | HDPE, PP, PS, SAN, PC | Higher cavitation on IBM75 if needed |
| Multi-SKU 3ml to 100ml | IBM65 (primary) + IBM75 (scale) | Mixed per SKU | One workhorse plus one scalable platform |
| 3ml to 100ml plus larger | IBM75 | Full Aibim resin set | Single machine covers small and up to 1000ml |
As a rule, start with the smallest platform that meets your cavitation target. A 30ml bottle at 8 cavities fits comfortably on the IBM65; if future volume pushes cavitation higher, the IBM75 absorbs the growth without a process change. The IBM55 Hybrid is the smart choice when energy, clean operation or a smaller footprint outweighs maximum output, which is common for pharmaceutical unit-dose and premium cosmetic sampling.
When estimating cavitation, remember that smaller bottles allow more cavities but also demand more precise shot metering, so the screw size and plasticizing capacity of the chosen model must match the combined gram weight of all cavities. A 10ml bottle at 12 cavities may use less total resin than a single 500ml bottle, yet it requires the machine to meter twelve tiny shots consistently. Aibim sizes the plasticizing unit and shot volume to the cavitation plan, and the representative specification tables above show the headroom each model offers for multi-cavity small-bottle tooling.
마이크로 병의 품질, 정밀도 및 넥 마감 제어
For bottles under 100ml, the neck finish is the most quality-critical feature. It must accept a dropper, cap, pump or sprayer with a leak-tight seal, and it must repeat identically across millions of cycles. One-step IBM produces the neck by injection onto the core rod, so thread form, sealing land and internal bore are set with injection-molding accuracy rather than being blown or cut.
Aibim reinforces this precision with a rigid single-crossbeam double-pole clamping framework that holds the mold square and stable, and with enlarged mold setting space that simplifies multi-cavity tooling. Because there is no flash, there is no trimming operation to introduce particles or dimensional variation, and because the parison is sized to the cavity, wall thickness is uniform around the body and base. For pharmaceutical and cosmetic customers, this translates into fewer leaks, fewer cap-fit complaints and cleaner filling lines.
Process control supports the mechanical design. Zoned barrel temperature control and consistent plasticizing keep melt quality steady, while SD card recipe storage lets an operator load a validated parameter set for a given bottle and resin in seconds, then replicate it exactly on another machine. That repeatability is what lets a brand run the same 15ml serum bottle on two lines or two sites with identical neck and wall results. 품질 control staff can lock a recipe and audit it, which is valuable under medical and cosmetic quality systems.
Another precision advantage is scrap reduction. In two-step processes, preform sprue and reheat losses create material waste before the bottle even exists. One-step IBM eliminates the preform entirely, so nearly all resin entering the machine becomes a finished bottle. For a 5ml bottle where gram weight is tiny but volume is huge, even a one-percent scrap reduction is a meaningful annual material saving.
Leak and seal verification is the final link in micro-bottle quality. Because the neck is injection molded, standard cap torque and seal tests pass more reliably, and automated inline inspection can confirm thread presence and bottle integrity at speed. Aibim machines support this by holding the neck dimension so tightly that downstream inspection becomes a confirmation rather than a salvage operation. For pharmaceutical and cosmetic lines, that shift from reactive sorting to confident pass reduces labor at the inspection bench and lowers the risk of a defective unit reaching the patient or the consumer.
에너지 절감 및 스마트 제어 시스템
Aibim IBM machines are engineered to reduce operating cost, not just capital cost. The headline figure is a minimum 35 percent energy saving compared with conventional hydraulic machines, achieved through PREFILL technology combined with a variable displacement pump in the hydraulic system. During clamp open, close and holding phases, the pump displaces only the oil actually needed, avoiding the continuous full-flow losses of a fixed pump.
The IBM55 Hybrid Electric extends this further with servo-assisted drives that trim energy during non-pressing phases, which matters most for micro bottles where cycle energy per part is a larger share of total cost. Lower energy use also means less heat in the production room, smaller cooling loads and a quieter, more comfortable operator environment, all of which support clean pharmaceutical and cosmetic production.
Smart control features make the energy and quality benefits repeatable. SD card parameter storage lets recipes move between machines without manual re-entry and re-tuning. The CE-certified safety package includes a long-distance digital laser sensor at the stripper station to confirm mold safety before motion, and a light curtain to protect personnel at the open side. Together, these systems reduce setup error, protect operators and keep the machine running at its validated efficiency rather than drifting as settings are hand-adjusted.
Aibim IBM 기계는 유압 회로에 독특한 PREFILL 기술과 가변 용량 펌프 가압 시스템을 사용하여 기존 유압 기계 대비 에너지 소비를 최소 35% 절감합니다.
The business case for this saving is strongest on continuous small-bottle lines. A 3ml to 100ml production cell often runs multiple shifts, so the 35 percent reduction compounds across thousands of operating hours each year. Lower energy also reduces the cooling and ventilation load of the room, which can defer or shrink auxiliary investment in chillers and air handling. For contract manufacturers quoting per-bottle conversion cost, the predictable, lower utility draw makes one-step IBM easier to price and protects margin when resin and power costs move.
서비스, 지원 및 공장 개방 정책
Aibim is a Wanplas factory, and it shares the Wanplas brand service commitments that protect the buyer after the machine ships. The most concrete of these is the spare-parts policy: Aibim provides USD 500 free parts per year, with free replacement of damaged parts within the warranty period. This removes the surprise cost of wear items and keeps lines running.
Beyond parts, Aibim supports the full lifecycle of the production cell. Machines are tested before shipment, then installed and commissioned by engineers who verify cycle, cavitation and bottle quality on site. Operators receive training on setup, recipe management and routine maintenance, and remote support is available for PLC and process questions after handover. Because Aibim operates its own CNC center for machine parts and molds, replacements and custom tooling are sourced quickly and matched to the original build.
The open-factory policy welcomes customers to visit the plant, audit the production process and run sample trials on their own bottle drawing before committing. For a small-bottle program where neck precision and material behavior are decisive, a hands-on trial on the actual IBM55, IBM65 or IBM75 is the surest way to de-risk the purchase. Wanplas, as the parent brand, backs these promises across its network of specialized factories, so the buyer engages a stable, established group rather than a single isolated workshop.
Training is structured so that the customer team owns the machine after handover rather than depending on the supplier for every adjustment. Operators learn recipe loading from the SD card, cavity balancing, mold change and the daily maintenance points that keep the three-station cycle stable. Maintenance staff learn hydraulic and servo basics, sensor checks and the spare-parts list covered by the USD 500 free parts per year allowance. This knowledge transfer turns the Aibim machine from a black box into a managed asset, which is what sustains quality and uptime long after the commissioning engineer has left the site.

Aibim이 제 병에 맞게 금형과 기계 구성을 맞춤화할 수 있습니까?
Yes. Aibim operates its own CNC center for machine parts and mold manufacturing, and configures clamping force, cavitation, screw size and voltage to the customer bottle drawing. The enlarged mold setting space on the single-crossbeam double-pole clamping framework supports flexible multi-cavity tooling.
결론
One-step injection blow molding is the most effective route to high-precision small bottles in the 3ml to 100ml range, and Aibim, a Wanplas factory, delivers that process through a coherent three-station platform spanning the IBM55 Hybrid Electric, IBM65 and IBM75. Each model carries the same core advantages: injected neck precision, no flash, minimal scrap, PREFILL energy saving of at least 35 percent, CE-certified safety, SD card recipe control and a rigid single-crossbeam double-pole clamping framework.
For pharmaceutical droppers and vials, cosmetic sampling and serums, food mini portions and drink shots, the Aibim IBM series offers a material set from HDPE and PP through PCTG and PC, with selection guided by bottle volume and cavitation rather than by brand comparison. The platform protects quality where it matters most, at the neck and the seal, while keeping operating cost low through integrated energy and scrap savings.
If you are planning or upgrading a small-bottle line, share your bottle drawing, target volume and resin with Aibim to receive a tailored configuration, a factory audit invitation and a sample trial on the matching IBM model. Working directly with a Wanplas factory gives you validated one-step IBM technology, USD 500 free parts per year and full engineering support from trial run through production.
The decision to standardize on one-step IBM is ultimately a decision about consistency at scale. Small bottles leave no room for sloppy necks or uneven walls because the entire product is small and every gram matters; the Aibim three-station platform is built precisely for that discipline. Whether the priority is the energy-light IBM55 Hybrid for micro doses, the balanced IBM65 for high-volume cosmetic and pharma runs, or the versatile IBM75 that grows with the business, the technology, the material range and the Wanplas-backed service model stay constant. That continuity is what lets a brand launch a 5ml serum today and a 100ml lotion tomorrow on the same trusted process.
