Information about the series of Extrusion Blow Moulding Machines in CMP

Have you ever seen a person at the fair or the mall during the holidays, blowing glass to create beautiful, artistic designs? It’s mesmerizing how a random piece of coloured glass can be manipulated by precisely placed hot air and become such a masterpiece. This art form inspired the current method of manipulating plastics to form many of the items we use every day, from water bottles to toys and so many things in between. This artful method is called Extrusion Blow Molding and it’s a common and inventive way of mass-producing hollow, lightweight products that are also durable and waterproof

Using hot air to form glass was originally introduced in 1938 when the first blow moulding machine was invented. Of course, over time, the method has improved upon and has been adapted for other uses in several industries, including bottles and machine parts.

Though plastic bottles are commonplace and can be found everywhere in homes, cars and offices, it might surprise you to learn that machine parts are also made in the same way from high-quality plastic material.

These parts can be found performing in some of the most hardworking and depended upon pieces of machinery used every day. Additionally, things like interior and exterior car parts and medical supplies rely on the items manufactured from this method.

Additional:

1) Leak Detector- A leak detector operates on the pressure-drop principle, meaning that a known pressure of air is created in the bottle and the system is sealed off. If the drop in the pressure occurring over a set time exceeds a certain limit, it indicates that the bottle leaks.

2) IML Robot- In-mold labelling uses robots to load labels directly into the moulding tool. The label becomes an integral part of the product. The products are often packaging materials for the food industry, but may also be other types of packaging. With a cycle time of a few seconds, many labels are loaded, with the same number of finished products being removed simultaneously.

3) Portable Parison Control- Portable parison control was introduced by CMP. It was for the machines which did not have an in-build parison controller. CMP’s PPC has a feature to control 2 machines with a single controller. Parison control means dynamically controlling the thickness of Parison to get a uniform thickness container on an Extrusion Blow Moulding Machine. It helps to maintain the required thickness axially and radially on the product made out of Extrusion Blow Moulding.

PLC in EBM 

Until the late 1970s to early 1980s blow molding machines were primarily delivered with contractor control. This type of control offered the advantage that the electrical components could be checked by appropriately trained maintenance personnel and easily replaced in the event of a fault. Changes in the machine control system could be made with the help of simple auxiliary devices. However, the disadvantages were the susceptibility to faults and short service life due to wear of mechanically moving parts, the large number of components (up to 150 contactors, 12 temperature controllers, etc.), the size of the components, and how these elements were connected. This type of control was called “hard-wired programmed logic controller”.

CLAMPING UNITS IN EXTRUSION BLOW MOULDING

In all extrusion blow molding processes, a blow mold consisting of two halves closes around the parison once it has reached its full length. These two halves of the mold are mounted on the so-called mold mounting platens, which from part of the clamping unit (or closing unit).

RADIAL WALL THICKNESS DISTRIBUTION IN BLOW MOULDING

In blow moulding, the wall thickness distribution of the finished article is essentially determined by the wall thickness distribution of the parison, its position in relation to the blow mould cavities, and the local stretching paths.

SWELLING BEHAVIOUR OF THE PARISON

The visco – elastic behavior of the thermoplastics (here the memory effects) in conjunction with the flow channel geometry in the head causes the diameter of the parison to change after leaving the die. The wall thickness also changes and thus the length of the parison. This phenomenon is called ‘; die swell’’.

MANDREL HEADS IN EBM

In mandrel heads (also referred to as ‘’heart – shaped – curve heads’’, or cardio did heads) the solid core part is massively integrated into the basic structure of the head. These heads are also called side-fed heads.

SPIDER HEADS IN EBM

The main task of parison heads (blow heads or even just heads) is to divert the compact melt flow as supplied by the extruder into a vertical downwards flow movement and to form melt tube with a uniform circumferential wall thickness distribution.

EXTRUDER WITH GROOVED FEED ZONE

Blow moulding machines with grooved barrel extruders are universal machines for all types of polyolefin; the grooved barrel system is,however, indispensable for high molecular weight, high viscosity raw materials. In these extruders, the cylinder wall in the feed section features tapered longitudinal grooves.

SMOOTH BORE EXTRUDER

Blow molding machines with smooth – bore extruders are more or less limited to the processing of low to medium molecular weight polyolefin types. Smooth bore extruders are less expensive than those with a grooved feed zone and show less screw wear.

Biodegradable vs. Recyclable Plastics

Biodegradable plastics undergo digestion by microbes to form natural bi-products and what is known as humus (a sludge that makes an excellent plant fertiliser). It also produces gas which is officially known as biogas. Biozone’s landfill-biodegradable plastics have proprietary additives that help them biodegrade naturally in landfills. Once the biodegradable packing ends up in a landfill, it attracts the necessary microbes that break down the plastic into its natural components.

What is Multilayer Extrusion Blow Moulding Machine?

Nowadays literally all humankind use plastic products 24/7 all over the world. It is super easy to get access to all kinds of plastic products. You might have come across bottles that have a shiny layer on the outer side, or different colours on the outer and a different one in the inner. So, what it is? It is a multilayer extrusion product. Well, let me explain to you how what it is exactly.

Exterior Surface (Mold Cavity) Design

The inner and outer walls of the part are formed simultaneously and integrally, but interior and exterior designs are essentially independent so we review them separately. As the design develops, the designer should begin thinking about the interaction of the plastic and the mould that will produce the part. The visual exterior of many products is formed in one half of the mould called a cavity. Following are some of the features of mould cavities the designer will want to consider.

Interior Surface (Mold Core) Design

The inner and outer walls of the part are formed simultaneously and integrally, but interior and exterior designs are essentially independent so we review them separately. As the design develops, the designer should begin thinking about the interaction of the plastic and the mould that will produce the part. The interior surface of double-wall blow moulded parts is normally formed by a mould core. Since the mould core must fit inside the cavity, there should be no question it meets the same core blow ratio = W>2D overall size requirement as the cavity.

About Parison and Parison Control

Parison blow moulding of intricate plastic bottles and other plastic parts requires air pressure control that is precise, repeatable and rapid responding. Proportion-Air offers electronic closed-loop pressure and flow control used to improve processes in the plastics blow moulding industry.

How to select a Blow Moulding Machine?

The reputation of the blow moulding machine manufacturer you do business with has a lot to do with the quality of the equipment it sells. The right company takes great pride in offering its customers top-of-the-line products at a competitive price. Buying a blow moulding machine can be a nerve-racking experience for fresh entrepreneurs.

Types of products manufactured in Extrusion Blow Moulding Machine

Blow moulding is a manufacturing process for forming and joining together hollow plastic parts. In general, there are three main types of blow moulding: extrusion blow moulding, injection blow moulding (one stage), and injection stretch blow moulding (two stages). In the extrusion blow moulding process (EBM), plastic is melted and extruded into a hollow tube (a plastic parison). This plastic parison is then captured by closing it into a cooled metal mould. Air is then blown into the parison, inflating it into the shape of the hollow bottle, container, or part. After the plastic has cooled sufficiently, the mould is opened and the part is ejected. It is designed to manufacture high volume hollow plastic products.

Types of material used in Extrusion Blow Moulding Machine

When choosing a material for blow moulding; cost, density, flexibility, strength, and other factors should be considered into what resin is best for your part. If the elastomeric properties of the material are exceeded, a hole will tear through the material resulting in a defective part. Other relevant properties are largely based on your application and might include mechanical, physical, chemical resistance, heat, electrical, flammability or UV resistance.

What are the 2 types of Extrusion Blow Moulding Machines?

Blow moulding is a manufacturing process used for the production of plastic bottles, containers, and custom shapes. At Central Machinery and Plastic Products, we use extrusion blow moulding (EBM). EBM bottles are easily identifiable by their pinch line across the base of the bottle. This line is created as the mould cavity closes on the parison and the tail is trimmed off.

The process of Extrusion Blow Moulding Machine

Extrusion Blow Molding is the simplest type of blow moulding. A hot tube of plastic material, called a parison, is dropped from an extruder and captured in a water-cooled mould. Once the moulds are closed, the air blown through the top of the neck of the container. When the hot plastic material is blown up and touches the walls of the mould, the material freezes, the container now maintains its rigid shape.

What is Extrusion Blow Moulding Machine?

Blow moulding is an umbrella term for forming hollow plastic parts by inflating a molten plastic tube or parison until it fills a mould and forms the desired shape. Think of it as inflating a balloon inside of a water bottle. The blow moulding process begins with melting down the plastic and forming it into a parison. The parison is a tube-like piece of plastic with a hole in one end through which compressed air can pass. Water channels are carved into the mould to assist in cooling.
