The Original Rotary Wheel Blow Molding System

The Graham Wheel revolutionized the plastics extrusion industry by replacing dangling, malformed parisons with upward moving, perfectly formed, and replicable extrusion that provides maximum production in the minimum footprint. Graham Quick Change™ molds and operator-friendly engineering make the Graham Wheel faster to clean and allow for single operator mold changes in under 5 minutes.

Key Advantages

Why choose Graham?

The Graham Engineering wheel system provides an accurate multilayer system technology that produces HDPE and PP extrusion bottles at a high speed and at the lowest possible cost. The wheel has a neck-to-neck molding capacity and the design allows for high repeatability of the blowing process for consistency and control over the finished products.

Take a Closer Look

The Graham Wheel Difference

Graham Engineering sets its production wheel apart from the rest by designing it with multi-layer capabilities up to seven layers of material distribution.

It can use in-process or post-consumer recycled materials and gives the operator 100% control of the parison at both ends.

And the rotary wheel utilizes proprietary parison programming that requires only a small and simple hydraulic system.
