The Advantages Of Blow Molding

By Genevive B. Mata


With the production of glass and plastic molds, particular manufacturing methods are put in place for the specific outcome. Blow molding is one of the most commonly implemented applications in industry and can be implemented in a number of procedures that is cost effective and efficient. These methods have been provided to make manufacture simple and to achieve the specific outcome for the company.

The are 3 main types of molding methods that can be applied and will be chosen according to the product that needs to be developed. Injection, stretch, and the application of extrusions are most popular and can assist in the delivery of large volumes of products in a short period of time. Companies rely on these measures and the endless benefits that it offers for such developments.

Such procedure is based on the traditional glass molding methods having been developed in 1938 and advanced in terms of tooling for commercial applications. Over a period of time, the popularity of such measures increased and today it is used in a variety of measures and company requirements. This is attributed to the fact that the methods can be used to create products in a more efficient and affordable manner.

The arrival of soft drink bottles in 1977 led to an increase in the demand for such processes and soon the blow mold method became a standard process. It offers a number of advantages including flexibility, fast production, cost effectiveness, and a high level of performance under pressure. The tooling prevents against irregular shape formation and different construction.

The injection blow is implemented with both glass and plastic products. The production of bottles and small items will be provided in large volumes. This type of application consists of the polymer being melted and stretched into the specific mold to achieve the solid result in a large volume.

The completion of stretching methods involves preforms that are blown at large volumes and can be developed into particular types of molds. A core rod will be used to stretch the preform and will prove most effective in developing the desired ranges. It is most dependable in the delivery of accurate productions for a range of plastic and glass items.

Extrusion techniques can be implemented in the production of milk cartons, bottles, and holders for shampoo among other items. The advantages that are provided with such processes include faster production methods and cost effectiveness. These applications are included in different industries and art production requirements where large volumes need to be manufactured.
