Blow moulding is a manufacturing technique used to produce hollow plastic items by inflating a heated plastic tube inside a mould cavity. It’s commonly employed for creating bottles, containers, and similar products.

• Process Overview: Plastic is melted and shaped into a hollow tube (parison), which is then inflated inside a mould to form the desired product.

• Types: Variants like extrusion, injection, and stretch blow moulding cater to different product requirements.

• Materials: Thermoplastics such as PE, PP, and PET are commonly used.

• Applications: Widely used in industries such as packaging, automotive, medical, and consumer goods due to its versatility.

• Advantages: Offers cost-effective production, flexible design options, efficient manufacturing, and lightweight yet sturdy end products.

• Environmental Considerations: Evolving to incorporate recycled materials and reduce energy consumption for sustainability.
