A blow-Molding machine is designed to manufacture hollow plastic products such as bottles, containers, and industrial parts through the controlled expansion of heated thermoplastic materials. Its operation involves several synchronized stages—extrusion, molding, inflation, and cooling—each requiring precise temperature, air pressure, and timing control to ensure product uniformity and wall thickness accuracy.
During normal operation, the machine’s extruder melts and homogenizes raw plastic pellets, feeding them through a die head to form a molten parison. Once the parison enters the mold cavity, compressed air inflates it to conform to the mold shape. After sufficient cooling, the mold opens, ejecting the formed product. The process is continuous and efficient, with automation allowing for high-speed, high-consistency production.
BOHANG’s advanced blow-molding machines integrate servo-driven systems and intelligent control panels, providing stability and energy efficiency while minimizing material waste—an advantage recognized across global packaging and container manufacturing industries.
Pre-Start Inspection Check that all electrical connections, air pressure lines, and hydraulic systems are properly secured. Verify that lubricants meet specification and that no leaks are present.
Material Preparation Load the plastic pellets (such as HDPE, PP, or PET) into the hopper. Make sure moisture levels are controlled to prevent bubble defects during extrusion.
Temperature and Pressure Setup Set barrel, die head, and mold temperatures according to the resin manufacturer’s recommendations. Calibrate air pressure and clamping force before initiating automatic cycles.
Parison Control and Inflation Monitor parison length, wall thickness, and centering through the control interface. Accurate inflation ensures even wall distribution and high dimensional stability.
Cooling and Demolding Maintain consistent cooling water flow through channels. Uneven cooling may cause warping or internal stress.
Quality Check and Adjustment Inspect finished products for flash, wall irregularity, or incomplete molding. Fine-tune temperature zones or air pressure to optimize yield.
| Accessory | Function | Inspection Focus |
|---|---|---|
| Air Compressor System | Supplies compressed air for parison inflation | Check air purity, pressure level, and water separation filters |
| Hydraulic Pump | Provides clamping and extrusion pressure | Inspect oil level, temperature, and seals for leaks |
| Cooling Chiller | Controls mold temperature and product shrinkage | Ensure stable water circulation and clean cooling channels |
| Heating Elements | Maintain melt temperature consistency | Check resistance value and uniform heating performance |
| Mold Assembly | Defines product shape and finish | Inspect alignment, venting, and surface wear after each batch |
| PLC Control Panel | Coordinates machine timing and motion | Back up operational data and monitor sensor signals |
| Screw and Barrel | Plasticize and transport resin | Clean periodically to prevent carbonization and material contamination |
Routine inspection of these accessories not only extends machine lifespan but also maintains production accuracy and reduces downtime costs.
To keep a blow-molding machine running smoothly, operators should:
Conduct a daily lubrication check on moving parts such as tie bars and guide rails.
Record operating temperatures, pressures, and cycle times for process stability analysis.
Replace filters and hydraulic oil every 1,000 operating hours or as specified by the manufacturer.
Perform alignment calibration of the extrusion head every six months to prevent uneven parison extrusion.
Keep all safety sensors and interlocks functional to prevent accidents during mold changeovers.
