Blow Moulding – Advantages and Disadvantages


In Awanti Polymoulds plastic bottle mould Blow Moulding is a process of making hollow plastic parts and then joining them to make a container which would act like a mould to make various shaped bottles. The bottles could be used to store a variety of goods such as water, cold drinks, oil and many more. Blow moulding has revolutionized the world of packaging. The unique technology has also made mass production of uniform moulds for storing many goods feasible.
This process has a lot of advantages but like every other process it also comes with many perils or disadvantages. These drawbacks should be known by all while employing this method in order to make moulds.
Here are the advantages and disadvantages of Blow Moulding.
Advantages
1.      Production In large Quantities
Blow Moulding is a process that can help the companies to produce large number of uniform units in a short period of time. This virtue makes this process all the more important.
2.      Production of an Array of different products
Due to the efficiency of blow moulding this process can utilised in many industries for manufacturing a variety of products such petrol tanks, flower pots and containers.
3.      Automation
Due to the development of Placo X-Y machine which gave rise to 3D blow moulding the automation of the entire process has been possible. The automation has increased the speed of production and made the process of assimilation and integration of various parts super easy.
4.      Low Cost
This technology uses low pressure to make the moulds and this technology also reduces the labour cost hence financially the process of blow moulding is very efficient.

Disadvantages
1.      The Requirement of Precision Generates Waste
There is a lot waste material generated where a precise size of products are required. Hence this process creates a lot of waste material during manufacturing units with particular dimensions.
2.      Petroleum Usage
This process requires humongous quantity of petroleum which also, could become, one of the factors in increasing the decrease rate of the essential oil.
3.      Affects the Environment
This manufacturing process is a threat as it largely depends on petroleum and is majorly involved in the production of plastic articles which are non-biodegradable and are a huge harm to the environment.
The process of blow moulding has definitely taken the world by storm due its high efficiency and low cost but due the disadvantages we also need to think about whether this process should be highly used or no.

Moulds for Better Shelf Life of PET Bottles

Before we talk about Shelf Life of  PET Bottles  let us first understand what does the term shelf life means. Shelf life is the duration of time period measured from the date of manufacture, that a good is likely to endure within its accepted product specification while stocked under defined conditions. Shelf life is characteristically stated in units of months, i.e. 12 months, 24 months, up to a limit of 60 months. The expression “shelf life” and “expiry date” is frequently interchangeably made use of in the industry, as both the terms reflect the same notion: there is a duration of time period where a good is stable and harmless for use. Shelf life/expiry dates suggests the time where a good will work both securely and efficiently. This is the reason why “shelf life testing” is also known as “stability testing”. The total amount of time a product can remain stable under specific environmental circumstances, equates to its shelf life. Now let us understand what shelf life of
