Examples of Cooling Packaging



Why choose EBM machines for ice pack production?
Ice packs and freeze boards are highly customizable thanks to extrusion blow molding technology. Techne machines allow the production of complex shapes, various colors, and finishes while optimizing shape performance and weight.
Techne Extrusion Blow Molding Machines are highly reliable in terms of product repeatability. Multiple quality control tests are performed to ensure consistency and uniformity in the final product.
Techne machines guarantee an average production consumption lower than the highest class of the European standard Euromap 40.6 – Class 10, making them a safe choice for energy efficiency.
Our Blow Molding machines
Fast Color Change, continuous production.
Techne’s system reduces downtime during color changes in reusable ice pack production. Thanks to the PVD coating applied to the extrusion heads, plastic material flows better on metal surfaces, reducing adhesion and facilitating cleaning. The result is a more efficient process with lower material and energy waste, consistent product quality, and more flexible and sustainable production.


Increase efficiency with Fast Mold Change.
Advanced fast mold change solutions drastically reduce machine downtime, improving the efficiency of blow molding machines. Quick couplings, lifting platforms, magnetic plates, and guided systems allow safe and repeatable format changes in 2–2.5 hours, or up to 1.5 hours with the Plus version.
