About Aoki

JapanEst. 1962

Aoki Technical Laboratory was founded in 1962 in Nagano, Japan by Katashi Aoki and pioneered the single-stage (one-step) injection-stretch blow molding process that produces a finished bottle in a single, continuous in-machine cycle. Aoki''s flagship SBIII series performs injection molding of the preform, conditioning, stretch blowing, and ejection inside one machine, producing exceptionally clear, distortion-free PET, PP, PC, and PEN bottles, jars, and wide-mouth containers. Because the preform never leaves the machine, Aoki bottles offer superior optical clarity, no reheating stress marks, and excellent neck and shoulder definition - making the SBIII the global standard for premium cosmetic, pharmaceutical, dairy, baby food, and specialty beverage packaging. Common SBIII models include the SBIII-100LL-50, SBIII-100LL-75, SBIII-250H-50, SBIII-500H-50, SBIII-700LL-100, and SBIII-1100LL-180, identified by clamp tonnage and cavity count (4-32 cavities depending on bottle size). Used Aoki SBIII machines are highly sought-after on the secondary market because of the proprietary single-stage process, premium Japanese build quality, and the fact that few competitors offer comparable technology. Buyers should inspect injection screw and barrel wear, preform mold and stretch-blow mold condition, conditioning station heaters, clamp tonnage and tie-bar wear, and the Aoki control system. Parts and service in North America are available through Aoki Technical Laboratory''s Elk Grove Village, Illinois office.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Aoki make?

Aoki Technical Laboratory manufactures single-stage (1-step) injection-stretch blow molding machines, the SBIII series, that produce finished PET, PP, PC, and PEN bottles, jars, and wide-mouth containers in a single continuous in-machine cycle for cosmetic, pharmaceutical, dairy, and specialty beverage packaging.

Why buy a used Aoki SBIII machine?

Used Aoki SBIII machines are highly sought-after because the single-stage injection-stretch blow molding process is proprietary, produces superior optical clarity with no reheat stress marks, and few competitors offer comparable technology. Premium Japanese build quality means well-maintained used machines deliver 15+ years of productive life.

What should I inspect on a used Aoki SBIII?

Inspect injection screw and barrel wear, preform mold and stretch-blow mold condition, conditioning station heaters, clamp tonnage and tie-bar wear, blow circuit and high-pressure air system, and Aoki control system function. Verify cavity count, neck size capability, and bottle size range supported by the existing tooling.

What are the most popular Aoki models on the used market?

Common used Aoki models include the SBIII-100LL-50 and SBIII-100LL-75 (small bottles, high cavitation), SBIII-250H-50 (mid-size), SBIII-500H-50, and the larger SBIII-700LL-100 and SBIII-1100LL-180 for larger containers. Model numbers indicate clamp tonnage and stretch height.

Are parts and service available for Aoki machines?

Yes. Aoki Technical Laboratory operates a North American office in Elk Grove Village, Illinois that provides parts, service, technical support, and tooling for the SBIII product line. Aoki maintains good parts availability for current and recent legacy machines.
