Introducing Blow Moulding



Blow molding is the process of forming a molten tube of thermoplastic material (polymer or resin) and placing the parison or preform within a mold cavity and inflating the tube with the compressed air, to take the shape of the cavity and cool the part before removing from the mold
                            
Blow Moulding is a the best process of making hollow plastic parts and then joining them to make a the best quality 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 revolutionised the world of packaging. This type of the unique technology has also made mass production of uniform moulds for storing many goods feasible and most importantly many industries using it already.
                        
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 some Key points 

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 humungous 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.

This kind of best 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.

Giving this information we Awanti Polymoulds introduce our self , ncorporated in 1990 in Pune – India, Awanti Polymoulds is a pioneer and leader in the designing, manufacturing and testing of blow moulds for Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles.
Built to exacting standards and demands with accuracy measured down to thousandth of a millimeter, Awanti’s moulds are renowned for innovation and precision that ensure the bottles meet the aesthetic as well as functional values such as high pressure filling, stacking, transportation, all-weather storage and usage.

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 ...

How Blow Mold Shell Holders Increase Efficiency in Blow Molding Process

  Identifying the Role & Effect In high-speed, high-capacity bottle production, every aspect of the tooling counts. A key feature that non-experts tend to neglect is the shell holder, or mould holder, in the blow-moulding machine. At Awanti Polymoulds, we produce high-accuracy shell holders for rotary machines (for Sidel, Krones, SIG, etc.) which significantly enhance performance, lower downtime and increase output quality.   In this article, we’ll explore how shell holders work, what makes a good one, and specifically how they enhance efficiency in blow-moulding processes.   1. What is a Shell Holder? A shell holder is the component in a rotary (or other) blow-moulding machine which secures the mould shell in precise alignment, ensures stability during the blowing operation, and often incorporates cooling features. Without a robust, dependable shell holder, the mould is left to depend only on its mounting fixture and machine clamps — which can affect alignment, cooli...

Linear Moulds for PET Bottles – Precision & Performance by Awanti Polymoulds

  In today’s fast-paced packaging industry, PET bottles have become the preferred choice for beverages, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and household products. To meet the growing demand, manufacturers rely on linear blow moulding machines that can produce multiple bottles per cycle with speed and consistency. At the heart of this process lies the linear mould – a critical component that determines bottle quality, accuracy, and production efficiency. What Are Linear Moulds for PET Bottles? Linear moulds are specially designed for high-speed linear blow moulding machines . Unlike rotary moulds, these moulds are long and narrow, with multiple cavities arranged in sequence. Each cavity must maintain high linear accuracy , ensuring uniform bottle dimensions from the first cavity to the last. With advanced design and precision engineering, linear moulds can produce 6 to 12 bottles per cycle , making them an essential solution for large-scale PET bottle production. Awanti Polymoulds – Lea...
