What is Extrusion Blow Molding?
Extrusion blow molding is a process that shoots a molten tubular plastic parison into open mold halves. The mold is then closed and compressed air is injected inside the tubular parison, forcing the plastic to form and cool against the cavity walls of the mold. After the molding is complete the mold opens, the part is removed, and the flash is trimmed. The part is then cooled and secondary operations take place. It is possible to have molds with multiple cavities to make several parts with one shot. There are also machines that shoot multiple parisons at the same time inside multiple molds simultaneously. This allows for multiple parts to be processed at the same time.
Why Choose Extrusion Blow Molding?
Extrusion blow molding is ideal for molding hollow plastic parts that do not require high precision, multiple material thicknesses, or detailed surface finishes. Extrusion blow molding is preferred over injection molding and injection blow molding due to the fact that the tooling for extrusion blow molding is regarded as less costly. The team at ACM can help determine if extrusion blow molding is the right processes for your product. ACM will suggest other processes if it is determined that extrusion blow molding will not meet the requirements of the customer's product.
