A Look At Blow Molding Processes

By Genevive B. Mata


When it comes to the development of glass and plastic molds, specific production measures need to be applied in order to deliver the desired outcome. Blow molding has been applied in different procedures including cost effective measures and the delivery of efficient results. With the range of advantages that it offers, more businesses rely on such measures to achieve the desired outcome.

There are three main types of molding processes that are implemented according to the particular need of the company. Extrusion, stretch, and injection molding are the most commonly implemented in large production where the costs are lower and is flexible to be used with many different materials. Most businesses rely on these measures because of the many benefits that it offers for long term results.

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.

In the year 1977, the first bottles were developed for soft drinks and soon the blow mold production process boomed. It includes a wide range of benefits such as flexible operation, cost effectiveness, and production times completed in an efficient manner. The correct tools and systems need to be applied in the developed of the right types of shapes and in the necessary 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.

Completing the stretching procedures will be attended to with preforms that include blowing high volumes of pressure into the specific molds. The use of a core rod will be implemented for the stretching of the preform that can be developed into a variety of shapes and sizes. Such processes can be implemented depending on the company requirements in manufacture.

The methods involving extrusion will be used in the development of dairy bottles, milk cartons, and shampoo bottles. There are a number of benefits that are included with such procedures including greater cost effectiveness and the production of large volumes. The implementation of blow mold processes have been considered among the most effective ion different industries including artistic requirements.
