Extrusion Blow Molding Machine

Blow molding ( BrE moulding ) is a manufacturing process by which hollow plastic parts
are formed. In general, there are three main types of blow molding: extrusion blow molding,
injection blow molding, and injection stretch blow molding. The blow molding process begins with
melting down the plastic and forming it into a parison or in the case of injection and injection
stretch blow moulding (ISB) a preform. The parison is a tube-like piece of plastic with a hole in
one end through which compressed air can pass.
The parison is then clamped into a mold and air is blown into it. The air pressure then
pushes the plastic out to match the mold. Once the plastic has cooled and hardened the mold
opens up and the part is ejected.
In Extrusion Blow Moulding (EBM), plastic is melted and extruded into a hollow tube (a
parison). This parison is then captured by closing it into a cooled metal mold. Air is then blown
into the parison, inflating it into the shape of the hollowbottle, container, or part. After the plastic
has cooled sufficiently, the mold is opened and the part is ejected. [2] Continuous and Intermittent
are two variations of Extrusion Blow Molding. In Continuous Extrusion Blow Molding the parison
is extruded continuously and the individual parts are cut off by a suitable knife. In Intermittent
blow molding there are two processes: straight intermittent is similar to injection molding whereby
the screw turns, then stops and pushes the melt out. With the accumulator method, an
accumulator gathers melted plastic and when the previous mold has cooled and enough plastic
has accumulated, a rod pushes the melted plastic and forms the parison. In this case the screw
may turn continuously or intermittently.[3] with continuous extrusion the weight of the parison
drags the parison and makes calibrating the wall thickness difficult. The accumulator head or
reciprocating screw methods use hydraulic systems to push the parison out quickly reducing the
effect of the weight and allowing precise control over the wall thickness by adjusting the die gap
with a parison programming device.

In order to ensure the Extrusion molding machine work normally,lower

trouble and prolong the using life of machine ,user must note to maintain
the machine during everyday use.
7.1 daily check
No.1:check to see if the button of emergency stop is normal:
No.2: check to see if there is abnormal noise during machine running :
No.3:check to see if the mechanical ,electrical and hydraulic safety device
is normal ,do the movement of clamping mold by operation style of
manual ,semiautomatic and automatic separately,open the safety door to

be 20-30mm to test whether the movement of clamping mold can be

stopped:
No.4:check to see if the oil position in hydraulic tank is over the middle
position in hydraulic pressure gauge and whether leak:
No.5:check to see if the grease/oil is enough on lubricating equipment and
lubricating spots,to see if the liquid position of lubricating pump is enough
high
No.6:check to see if the work pressure of hydraulic system is too high
No.7:check to see if the oil temperature is increasing too fast and the
water supply for cooling is normal
No.8: check to see if the heating to screw barrel is normal and the running
of temperature-controller is normal
No.9:check to see if the extrusion mould installation is steady
