Extrusion blow molding equipment can be categorized into two types: multi-layer hollow forming and single-layer hollow forming, depending on the blown products, plastic materials, and extruded plastic preforms. Currently, the most commonly used extrusion blow molding machines are multi-layer hollow forming machines and single-layer hollow forming machines. Both types feature continuous and intermittent extrusion methods. They can also be classified based on the number of mold clamping stations into single-station, double-station, and double-station, with single-station and double-station machines being the…
3 Naming Methods for Extrusion Blow Molding Machines
There are many varieties and specifications of extrusion blow molding machines, and each major manufacturer of hollow molding machines, both domestically and internationally, has its naming methods. The naming methods for extrusion blow molding machines are quite diverse, but currently, there are three main categories in common use: The first category is the scientific naming method; The second category is the manufacturer naming method; The third category is the equipment characteristics naming method.

Electromagnetic Induction Heating VS Traditional Resistance Heating
(1) The Working Principle of Electromagnetic Induction Heating in Blow Molding Machines ① Electromagnetic Heater An electromagnetic heater is a device that converts electrical energy into thermal energy using the principle of electromagnetic induction. The electromagnetic heating controller rectifies 220V, 50/60Hz AC power into DC and transforms that DC into high-frequency, high-voltage electricity with a frequency of 20-40kHz. It also converts 380V, 50/60Hz three-phase AC into DC and then into high-frequency, low-voltage, high-current electricity ranging from 10-30kHz, which is used…

5 Factors When Choosing Plastic Packaging Container Materials
There are many factors to consider when selecting plastic packaging container materials. Due to the wide variety of plastics available, selecting the right material can be quite a complex task. You can use different materials to package the same product, or the same material to package different products, but the molding processes might vary. For instance, when packaging shampoo, you might opt for PP or PVC materials; PET is great for packaging cooking oil or carbonated drinks; and HDPE can…

Is a used blow molding machine worth buying?
Is a used blow molding machine worth buying? It depends on the situation. First off, the price of a used blow molding machine is usually lower. Compared to brand-new equipment, used machines often come at a fraction of the cost, which is a big win for those of us on a budget. But just because it’s cheaper doesn’t mean it’s automatically junk; the key is to find a reputable seller and do a thorough inspection. Next up, we gotta talk…

Back Pressure: An Important Role in Blow Molding Process
Back pressure is an important parameter for controlling the quality of melt and product in the blow molding process. Appropriate back pressure plays an important role in improving the quality of blow-molded products. Formation of back pressure During the melting and plasticizing process of plastic, the melt continuously moves to the front end of the barrel (inside the metering chamber), and more and more, gradually forming a pressure to push the screw backward. To prevent the screw from retreating too…
5 Ways to Improve Uniformity of Wall Thickness of Blow-molded Products
Extrusion blow molding is one of the main forming methods for producing hollow plastic products with the largest output and good economic efficiency. It is suitable for hollow-forming materials such as polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, polypropylene, polystyrene, polyester, polyamide, and polycarbonate. It is mainly used to form container products, the minimum volume of the container can be 1mL, and the maximum volume can reach 20000L. Extrusion blow molding products are widely used in food, beverages, cosmetics, medicines, washing products, children’s toys,…
