Extrusion Blow Moulding
Blow Moulding The Products
Blow Moulding The Process
Typical
Materials:
PP The blow moulding machine is based on a standard extruder barrel and screw assembly to plasticise the
Polypropylene polymer. The molten polymer is led through a right angle and through a die to emerge as a hollow
PE (usually circular) pipe section called a parison.
Polyethylene
PET When the parison has reached a sufficient length a hollow mould is closed around it. The mould mates
Polyethylene closely at its bottom edge thus forming a seal. The parison is cut at the top by a knife prior to the mould
Terephthalate being moved sideways to a second position where air is blown into the parison to inflate it to the shape
PVC of the mould.
Polyvinyl
Chloride After a cooling period the mould is opened and the final article is ejected.To speed production several
identical moulds may be fed in cycle by the same extruder unit. The process is not unlike that used for
producing glass bottles, in that the molten material is forced into a mould under air pressure.
