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.
