Blow Moulding Evolving Plastic for Industrial Use

Plastic as a material is versatile, robust as well as cost efficient hence is extensively appreciated in industrial as well as household environments. The ease to draw plastic into a specificdesign and suit the choices of the various complex tasks of the industry have enhanced with the benefits of blow moulding techniques.

What is Blow Moulding? 
It is a process through which thermoplastic is used to create hollow objects which are used in multiple applications especially for packaging and storage of a variety of substances in industries. Generally in the initial process of blow moulding a rough shape is created, which is usually cylindrical known as the perform.

In the next step the perform is subjected to compressed air, which is then pressed within cavities of moulds to give an innovative shape to items, then the cooled plastic products are removed from the pressurised environment.

Dominance of plastic in packaging and storage processes of industries and the popularity is rising enormously as various kinds of containers are easily available with the help of blow moulding techniques. Various kinds of blow moulding machines are manufactured in India. But the most dominant and popular machines the ones which use the prestretch technique.

The technique in simple terms is aimed to process hollow yet robust products made from plastic to suit the specifications of the industrial requirements. Industries in which hollow plastic is supplied by the used are
  • Automotive sector is the backbone of every industry with the help of the innovative blow moulded plastic products cost efficient containers for oil, lubricants etc. are manufactured enormously. With the adoption of new technology, many complex tasks are simplified as well as attaining various maintenance products has become easy due to portable plastic packaging.
  • Plastic dominates the Pharmaceutical sector to package and store various kinds of drugs, syringes, cans and bottlesare made by structuring plastic and they have now attained dominance.
  • The FMCG industry isstretched enormously and blow moulded plastic is used to make variety of cosmetic, shampoo, oil, water bottles, tablet containers, antiseptic liquid bottles, etc.
