Your Complete Guide to Blow Moulding

  What is Blow Moulding? Blow moulding  refers to a manufacturing process used in making hollow plastic parts by inflating heated plastic preform inside a mould. This technique is employed for producing items like containers, bottles, and tanks for different applications. Blow Moulding Types: There are Three Primary Types of Blow Moulding: Extrusion Blow Moulding (EBM): Here, extruded molten plastic from a “parison” (a hollow tube) is enclosed in a water-cooled mould, and air is blown into it. This inflates the plastic to conform to the shape of the mould. This method is used for making products like bottles and containers. Injection Blow Moulding (IBM): Molten plastic is injected into a preform mould to create a solid preform. This preform is then transferred to a blow mould in which air is used to inflate it to the required shape. This method is ideal for producing high-quality jars and bottles with precise dimensions.
