Bigger.
Otto Systems' new HOD-Series is the world's first high-performance preform production system engineered specifically for the rapidly growing Home and Office Delivery (HOD) drinking water market segment.
Revolutionizing HOD Preform Production
The production and availability of economical and sustainable 5- to 20-litre Home and Office Delivery (HOD) drinking water containers is a growing challenge for the food and beverage industry. Today's production lines only offer conventional solutions that fail to master the specific difficulties of economically producing the bigger HOD preforms. But now the Swiss engineers at Otto Systems have come up with a new product-specific solution that meets the requirements of this application in every respect.
Costly materials wastage, high energy consumption and lost time are now things of the past for HOD preform producers.
otto Systems HOD Series: A boost of benefits.
The new HOD-Series from Otto Systems has been developed with an uncompromising focus on the economical and high-quality production of HOD preforms. The HOD-Series from Otto Systems now meets all the demanding technical requirements in this field with a 160 and 240-ton-system.

Four plus points for your production
UNIQUE EXTENDED CLAMPING UNIT
Otto Systems' unique extended clamping unit features an outward-bending toggle mechanism. This design enables dynamic movements with low energy consumption and allows for a nearly one-metre opening stroke. The result is a compact unit tailored for large container preforms, offering extended stroke capability not possible with conventional toggles.
SMART MOULD AND EOAT CONFIGURATION
Otto Systems' smart mould and EOAT configuration optimises post-cooling efficiency. To avoid excessive mould width for large HOD-preforms, engineers developed a 2-row, super-compact design. This innovative approach, created in collaboration with Otto Hofstetter, ensures optimal fit within the extended clamping unit, balancing cooling capacity with mould size and cost.
INNOVATIVE 2+2 POST-COOLING
Otto Systems' integrated robot features an innovative 2+2 station post-cooling design. By duplicating the EOAT width with 8 rows of water-cooled sleeves, it effectively doubles cooling capacity. Combined with the Pick-Blow-Combi system, this setup ensures optimal preform shaping and rapid cycle times, even for heavy, thick-walled applications.
HIGH-PERFORMANCE PLASTICISING
The HOD injection unit balances plasticising and injection performance. Its innovative screw design handles large shot weights, while the Time Safe Unit (TSU) manages distinctive and long holding pressure for large preforms. This enables large dosing strokes at moderate rotational speeds with ideal residence time, ensuring optimal process conditions in a compact configuration.
