In blow molding, the suitable process depends on the specific requirements of the product. Here are the main types:
- Extrusion Blow Molding:
- Suitable for: Hollow parts like bottles, containers, and large items.
- Advantages: High production rates, ability to create complex shapes.
- Injection Blow Molding:
- Suitable for: Precision parts where high strength and uniform wall thickness are critical.
- Advantages: Better dimensional control, smooth surface finish.
- Stretch Blow Molding:
- Suitable for: PET bottles and containers that require high clarity and strength.
- Advantages: Improved mechanical properties, lightweight products.
- Continuous Blow Molding:
- Suitable for: High-volume production of large containers.
- Advantages: Efficient and cost-effective for mass production.
Choose the process based on factors like material, production volume, part complexity, and desired characteristics.
