Extrusion Blow Moulding process

Extrusion blow moulding is a process of producing hollow plastic parts by melting plastic resin and extruding the plastic into a mould tool. Once the plastic is extruded through the machine it flows through the open two halves of a mould tool, the two tool halves shut with the plastic inside then pressurised air is pushed into the mould to form the shape of the tool cavity inside. Once it cools the mould is opened releasing the part so the process can be repeated.

Co-Extrusion Blow Moulding process

The co-extrusion blow moulding process allows parts to be blown with the bottle wall being made up of different layers of plastics. The process works in a similar way to extrusion blow moulding with the main difference that the machine can control the flow of multiple extruders which then extrudes several layers of material at the same time into the tool cavity. The mould shuts and pressurised air is then pushed into the tool to form the shape of the cavity; the mould then releases the part, and you are ready to repeat the process. This is a good process to achieve decorative finishes that would be either unachievable or too expensive to manufacture in a single layer extrusion process and you can alter the flow of material so that different wall thicknesses are achieved to suit the purpose.
