Container designs, machine settings, resin lots and pallets on one system.
Each container has one record. It runs from the filler’s enquiry through parison or reheat settings, resin lot, regrind share and wall checks to the pallet on the dock. A thin shoulder reported by a filler leads straight to one cavity, one resin lot and one blow pressure setting on the run sheet. Planners see which machine is next. Operators key counts at the machine. Pallet labels trace back to the run.
- Bottle and jar designs, mould numbers and machine set-up sheets keyed in as your floor writes them
- Open orders, resin stock and mould records migrated
- Alterations to container and resin records carried out by us once you ask
Blow Moulding Company Management Software holds container designs, parison and reheat settings, resin and preform stock, wall and weight checks, and pallet dispatch for blow moulders. Each run keeps its mould, cavity results, regrind ratio and resin lot, and drop and leak results stay attached. Pallet labels trace back. Flash is weighed.
What goes wrong before the software.
How the work flows through it, step by step.
- 1
Specification
The filler sends volume, neck finish, target weight, handle style and drop-test requirements, which are saved as a container design linked to the customer and to the drawing revision. Nothing is retyped later.
- 2
Quotation and mould
A quote is built from container weight, cavities per mould, cycles per hour, and resin and masterbatch cost, while a new mould gets design sign-off and a trial record. Revisions stay on file.
- 3
Planning
The planner matches the mould to an extrusion blow or stretch blow machine, then checks that resin, preforms, masterbatch and carton stock cover the run before the setter arrives. Shortages show up early.
- 4
Production
The setter loads the stored parison or reheat settings, operators log counts, weights and wall readings by cavity, and pinch-off trim goes to the granulator with its weight noted. Every shot is accounted for.
- 5
Testing
Leak, drop and top-load tests are taken by cavity at set intervals, and a failed sample holds the run until a supervisor releases or scraps it. The hold is automatic.
- 6
Packing and delivery
Containers are cartoned or bagged onto pallets in the layer pattern the filler asked for, and the delivery note and label name the run and the resin lot. Stacking follows the account.
What is inside.
Every module can be switched on, left out or changed to match how your team already works.
The business modules it is built from.
Each one is also available on its own, or inside a system built for you.
- Estimate/Quotation Management
Quotes start from shot weight, cavities and cycle rate, then add resin and masterbatch cost, with each revision kept for the customer.
- Production Planning
Saved parison, blow pressure and cooling settings per mould and machine let the planner schedule a changeover knowing what the setter will load.
- Stock Tracking and Alerts
Granule lots, preforms and masterbatch are drawn down by each run, and a low colour raises a warning before the hopper is loaded.
- Batch and Serial Tracking
Pinch-off flash weighed into the granulator becomes regrind stock, and every run holds the lots and regrind share that went into its bottles.
- Quality Control
Bottle weight and wall readings are logged by cavity through the shift against limits taken from the customer’s specification, so drift is visible early.
- Asset AMC Tracking
Each mould shows cleaning dates, vent clearing, pinch-off repairs and the next planned service, so a tired tool is pulled before it spoils a run.
- Barcodes and Labels
Pallet labels follow the filler’s layer pattern and carry the run and resin lot, so a query from the dock leads straight to the record.
- Invoice Management
Filler call-offs turn into delivery notes and tax invoices in the customer’s currency, with open balances listed by account.
How we would put it in.
Setup, data migration, integrations and anything built on top.
One system, each person sees their part.
For owners
See machine output, rejects by container and customer, regrind use, and stock of resin and masterbatch without ringing the shift lead from home. The numbers are already there.
For production planners
Pick the next mould for each extrusion blow or stretch blow machine, line up colour changes from light to dark, and match the order book to machine hours. Changeovers are sequenced sensibly.
For setters and operators
Load stored settings, log counts and weights at the machine, and weigh trimmed flash into regrind before the granulator hopper fills again. No clipboard is needed.
For quality staff
Take samples by cavity, run leak, drop and top-load tests, and hold or release a lot with the burst evidence, wall readings and resin lot in one place. Search through folders ends.
For dispatch
Build pallets to each filler’s pattern, print labels carrying the run and resin lot, and issue delivery notes that match what is stacked on the dock. Short pallets get caught.
The numbers the owner asks for.
- Bottle weight trend by cavity and shift
- Rejects by defect such as thin shoulder, pinhole or flash, by mould and resin lot
- Regrind used against virgin resin by container
- Leak and drop test results by customer and cavity
- Resin, preform and masterbatch stock against open runs
- Machine output against mould cycle target
- Pallets dispatched by filler with run references
Who this is built for.
- Extrusion blow moulders making bottles, jerry cans and drums
- Stretch blow moulders blowing PET containers from preforms
- Companies supplying fillers in edible oil, agrochemicals, lubricants and personal care
- Shops that blow technical hollow parts such as tanks, air ducts and fuel filler necks
- Moulders who also run their own mould shop
When it is not the right choice.
- A small shop that blows a single jerry can for one customer on one machine can manage with a weight sheet, a mould list and a pallet list.
- Companies whose main product is moulded solid parts or extruded profiles will find Injection Moulding Company Management Software or Plastic Extrusion Company Management Software closer.

Questions owners ask before a demo.
Can it hold extrusion blow and stretch blow settings?
Yes. A container design stores either a parison programme or a preform and reheat setting, along with blow pressure, cooling time and pinch-off settings for the machine and mould pairing. History follows the mould.
How are failed drop tests traced?
The sample carries a cavity mark, so a failed drop test attaches to that cavity, the run, the settings and the resin lot. A supervisor holds or releases the pallets involved.
Does it manage bought-in preforms?
Yes. Preforms are stock items with a supplier lot and a neck finish, and a stretch blow run draws them down and records the count blown and the count scrapped. Scrapped preforms are counted too.
Can we control regrind use?
Yes. The container record sets an allowed regrind ratio, flash weighed into the granulator becomes regrind stock, and each run notes how much was blended back into virgin granules. The blend ratio stays visible.
Can a filler have its own pallet pattern?
Yes. Cartons per layer, layers per pallet and label wording are saved on the customer’s account, then applied when dispatch builds each pallet for that filler. Every filler gets its own.
Will it read wall thickness from a gauge?
Readings from a hand micrometer or ultrasonic thickness gauge are keyed in as standard, and a gauge with a data output can be connected as a scoped extra. We look at the model first.
How do we take our records out?
Runs, test results and customer balances export to a file, and which fields the file holds is agreed in the quotation before any build work begins. Nothing is locked in.
What happens at the demo?
We load one of your containers, perhaps a one litre HDPE bottle with its mould, and take it through quote, set-up, run, test and pallet. The proposal then lists machines and users.
Who supports it after go-live?
GullySystem staff handle questions and master data changes, and your quality lead and planner get a short refresher once the first weeks of runs are in. Changes come through us.
