Launching a new plastic container line can feel like a mountain of complexity. Between designing the perfect bottle, sourcing high-precision molds, selecting the right machinery, and ensuring all your auxiliary equipment: like chillers and dryers: talk to each other, the process is enough to give any operations manager a headache.
At Hirate America, we believe that building a world-class production facility shouldn’t be a source of stress. It should be a source of growth.
That is why we specialize in Turn-Key Solutions using industry-leading Nissei ASB Injection Stretch Blow Molding (ISBM) technology. We don’t just sell you a machine and walk away; we act as your personal partner, walking you through the process from the initial blueprint all the way to high-volume production.
The Nissei ASB Advantage: One Machine, Infinite Possibilities
When it comes to producing high-quality PET, PP, or even biodegradable containers, the Nissei ASB 1-step process is the undisputed gold standard. Unlike traditional 2-step systems that require you to buy preforms, store them, and then reheat them, the Nissei ASB system does everything in one integrated machine.
Why does this matter for your bottom line?
- Zero Logistics: You start with raw resin pellets and end with a finished, crystal-clear bottle. No need to source or transport preforms.
- Flawless Quality: Because the preform is never handled or stored, there is zero risk of scuffs, scratches, or neck damage. This is essential for cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and high-end beverage brands.
- Smaller Footprint: A 1-step setup can take up to 30% less floor space than a traditional 2-step line.
- Energy Efficiency: By utilizing the latent heat from the injection stage to blow the bottle, you save significantly on utility costs.

Your Turn-Key Journey: How We Build Your Success
Our “Turn-Key” approach means we take the weight off your shoulders. We manage the entire application so you can focus on running your business. Here is how we get you from concept to shelf:
1. Product Design & Mold Provision
Everything starts with the container. Our team works with you to refine your product design for maximum shelf appeal and structural integrity. We then coordinate the production of high-precision molds specifically tailored to the Nissei ASB platform.
2. Matching the Machine to the Mission
Whether you are producing a 2.5 mL eye-dropper bottle or a 20 L water container, we help you select the exact Nissei ASB model: like the versatile ASB-70DP or the high-speed ASB-150DP: to meet your output goals. With Nissei’s Zero Cooling™ technology, we can often reduce your cycle times by up to 30-50%, putting you miles ahead of the competition.
3. Integrating the “Nerve System” (Auxiliary Equipment)
A machine is only as good as the systems supporting it. We design and provide the full auxiliary package, including:
- PET Resin Dryers: Essential for removing moisture to ensure clear, strong containers.
- High-Pressure Air Compressors: To provide the force needed for perfect bottle definition.
- Chillers & Mold Dehumidifiers: To maintain consistent temperatures and prevent “sweating” on the molds.
- Conveyors & Material Handling: To move your finished product safely to packaging.
4. Professional Setup and Training
Once the equipment arrives, our technical experts are on-site to handle the installation and calibration. We don’t just “plug and play”: we optimize the process for your specific environment. We also provide comprehensive training for your team to ensure they feel confident operating the new technology.
Real Results: ROI You Can Count On
We know that at the end of the day, it’s about the numbers. By switching to a turn-key Nissei ASB system from Hirate America, our clients typically see a Return on Investment (ROI) within 12 to 18 months.
How do we do it?
- Reduced Labor: Automated 1-step processes require fewer operators.
- Lower Scrap Rates: Precise control means fewer rejected parts.
- Utility Savings: Advanced heating and cooling technology reduces your monthly power bill.
Peace of Mind with a Personal Partner
The “Hirate America Way” is built on technical knowledge and a commitment to your success. We aren’t just a vendor; we are a guide. If you have a question at 2:00 PM on a Tuesday or need a technical adjustment six months after installation, we are just a phone call away.
Our U.S.-based support and parts inventory ensure that your machines stay up and running, giving you the peace of mind you deserve.
