Types of Blow Moulding in Manufacturing
Blow moulding is a key manufacturing process for creating hollow plastic products. There are three main types of blow moulding used to produce blow moulding products:
- Extrusion Blow Moulding (EBM):
- Commonly used for Jerry Cans, storage drums, and detergent bottles.
- Involves extruding a molten tube of plastic (parison), which is inflated inside a mould.
- Injection Blow Moulding (IBM):
- Suitable for smaller, precision containers like cosmetic bottles.
- Plastic is injected into a preform, reheated, and blown into shape.
- Stretch Blow Moulding (SBM):
- Ideal for high-strength products like PET bottles.
- Uses biaxial stretching for enhanced clarity and durability.
Each of these processes benefits from the integration of filler masterbatch to enhance the quality and cost-efficiency of blow moulding products
Case Study: Optimizing Jerry Can Production with MegaPlast
The Challenge: Balancing Cost and Quality in Jerry Cans
The Djibouti manufacturer specializes in yellow Jerry Cans (0.5L to 30L) produced using extrusion blow moulding. These products, designed for storing cooking oil, chemicals, and detergents, must meet stringent standards for:
- Impact Resistance
- Chemical Durability
- Food Safety Compliance
Facing rising raw material costs, the manufacturer needed a cost-efficient solution to optimize their blow moulding products without compromising quality
The Solution: MegaPlast’s B264 Filler Masterbatch
MegaPlast introduced B264 Filler Masterbatch, tested at a 10%–15% loading rate. The results showcased how filler masterbatch can transform blow moulding products:
- Consistency: Stable production processes ensured high-quality outcomes for all blow moulding products
- Enhanced Quality: Jerry Cans maintained durability, food-grade safety, and chemical resistance.
- Cost Savings: A significant 10% reduction in production costs was achieved.
Expanding the Use of Filler Masterbatch in Blow Moulding Applications
The versatility of filler masterbatch extends beyond Jerry Cans to other blow moulding products, such as:
- Plastic Bottles: Lightweight and durable bottles for beverages, cosmetics, and household products.
- Storage Drums: Large-capacity containers for transporting chemicals and oils.
- Household Items: Detergent bottles, trash bins, and water tanks.
Each type of blow moulding process—EBM, IBM, and SBM—can benefit from the cost efficiency and consistent quality provided by MegaPlast’s filler masterbatches.
