Four Technology Topics in Blow Molding Production

These company updates summarize technology choices that affect blow molding cost and quality. Multi-layer blow molding uses several extruders to build layered walls for color, view stripes or a recycled middle layer, and the extrusion system update explains when continuous extrusion or an accumulator die head fits, based on product size, weight and shot size.

The recycling update covers collecting, regrinding and reusing flash on continuous machines, and the energy update looks at space-saving design, precision parison control and lower material use. Each topic feeds directly into machine selection and the specification a buyer sends to the manufacturer.
