OT: Well not really |
|
|
Are there any peeps out here that do or have knowledge of blow molding.
I am familiar with injection molding and thermoforming, but not blow molding
and I was wondering if any one had an example of a blow mold.
TIA,
Muggs

Go to a toy store and examine the "Step2" product line. Most of this
is blow-molded.
Also, Iceberg Enterprises makes a line of blow-molded offie furniture
(the hand truck is my handiwork).

Many automotive gas tanks are done this way these days. Unfortunately I have
only seen the machines run didn't have time to check out the intricacies of
the process.

Plastic milk jugs & pop bottles are blow molded IIRC.

Blow Molding:
A widely used process for the production of hollow thermoplastic shapes. The
process is divided into two general categories: extrusion blow molding and
injection blow molding. These processes are typically used to manufacture
plastic bottles and containers. (Modern Plastics Encyclopedia 1995)
Extrusion Blow Molding: A parison or tube of plastic material is dropped or
lowered from an extruder. Mold halves close around the parison, which is then
expanded against the cavity wall by the injection of air. (Modern Plastics
Encyclopedia 1995)
Injection Blow Molding: A two-stage process where plastic is first injection
molded into a preform. The preform is then transferred to a blow mold where it
is expanded. (Modern Plastics Encyclopedia 1995).

Thanks everyone, some very good information.
But what I specifically looking for is mold design practices for extrusion
blow molding.
If anyone has an example of a mold, I would be grateful.
Thanks,
Muggs
