Blow moulding is a manufacturing process used to produce hollow plastic parts. It involves melting plastic resin and then injecting it into a mold, where it is shaped by blowing compressed air into the molten plastic. The air pressure expands the plastic and conforms it to the shape of the mold, creating a hollow object with a desired design.
Advantages of Blow Moulding
It Can Produce a Variety of Products
Most plastic containers on the market today that hold some form of liquid have gone through this process. The commonness of blow molding has allowed engineers to try and create a variety of applications and designs, which resulted in multiple interesting uses.
Blow Molding is Relatively Inexpensive
Cost is a big factor in any manufacturing, especially a large-scale, industrial plastic manufacturing job. Blow molding is typically quite inexpensive compared to other fabrication methods.
It Allows For Multiple Methods of Production
Extrusion blow molding works similarly to traditional glass blowing, where materials are blown through a long tube to work on the end, which can create products, such as light bulbs. As for injection blow molding, it is employed to produce receptacles in huge quantities.
It Promotes a Higher Level of Productivity
This technology has always been moving forward to become universally used in plastic production. It has allowed for a significant increase in production capabilities, and the ability to produce more products in a short time.
Various Material Options
Blow molding also provides a wide range of resins and colors to choose from high-density and low-density polyethylene (HDPE and LDPE) to polypropylene (PP) to engineering resins such as K-Resin, PETG, and Polycarbonate.
Blow Molding is Fast
Blow molding is also a relatively fast manufacturing solution. Professional grade injection or extrusion blow molding machinery is capable of producing huge quantities of finished plastic products and can run for a virtually indefinite amount of time.
The blow moulding process begins with softening plastic by heating a preform or parison. The parison is a tube-like piece of plastic with a hole in one end through which compressed air can enter.
The plastic workpiece is then clamped into a mold and air is blown into it. The air pressure inflates the plastic which conforms to the mold. Once the plastic has cooled and hardened the mold opens and the part is ejected. Water channels within the mold assist in cooling.
Types of Blow Moulding Processes
Injection Blow Moulding
In injection blow molding, a blow or core rod is used throughout the process. First, a parison is injected into a split mold cavity around the rod. The parison that is formed looks similar to a test tube. The core rod transfers the parison to the blow mold machine where forced air creates the final shape. The rod then transfers and extrudes the finished product from the machine.
Extrusion Blow Moulding
Extrusion blow molding can be continuous or intermittent. In continuous extrusion blow molding, a parison will be constantly fed into the mold and each form will be cut off with a blade as it forms. Intermittent extrusion blow molding expels each new plastic from the metal mold when it is cooled and the parison is fed into the mold only after the preceding parison is expelled.
Injection Stretch Blow Moulding
Injection stretch blow molding combines the injection molding and blow molding processes. The plastic is first molded into a solid preform, to create a threaded bottle neck. Once the preform cools it is fed into a stretch blow mold machine. The preform is then reheated using an infrared heater and blown into a plastic bottle with forced compressed air.
