Solar Float Blow Molding Machine | Chen Way
Accumulator die head blow molding machine for HDPE floats used in floating solar PV arrays, with parison control for airtight, uniform float walls.
Floating Solar Accumulator Type of Blow Molding Machine
Our Solar PV Floating System features a specialized hollow-core design, providing high buoyancy and superior leak resistance. Crafted from high-grade MARLEX 50100 or a MARLEX 50100/5502 blend, the floats offer exceptional UV protection, corrosion resistance, and saltwater durability. Designed to support, float, and stabilize solar panels, these systems are ideal for installation in reservoirs, lakes, detention basins, and industrial ponds. The natural water-cooling effect enhances power generation by 5β10% compared to land-based systems. With an intuitive interlocking or bolt-on connection, the system enables rapid assembly and disassembly, as well as easy maintenance and expansion.
Molding Principle
The machine employs an accumulator extrusion system that temporarily stores molten plastic in an accumulator cylinder (die head). Once the material reaches a preset volume, a plunger mechanism rapidly extrudes it in a single stroke to form a complete, robust parison, which is then immediately blow-molded. This method ensures a more uniform temperature distribution across the parison and prevents molding defects caused by uneven temperature. It is particularly suitable for manufacturing large-scale or heavy-duty hollow products.
Applications
Accumulator head blow molding machines are widely utilized across industrial products, transport packaging, household and commercial goods, and the toy industry. They are particularly ideal for the storage and transportation of hazardous liquids, such as chemicals, detergents, and various industrial fluids, ensuring maximum safety and stability during handling. Whether for industrial, commercial, or everyday needs, this technology delivers reliable, consistent molding quality, demonstrating high flexibility and practical value.
Specification
Die Head: Accumulator / Vertical Ram Type
β Built-in Accumulator Chamber: The die head features an integrated accumulator chamber that stores a large volume of molten plastic in a short period and extrudes it rapidly in a single shot. β Ram Type Push Mechanism: Utilizes a vertical plunger (Ram Type) structure for a stable stroke, ensuring consistent output and weight for every cycle. β Optional Parison Programming: Can be equipped with a multi-point wall thickness control system (such as the Moog Parison Controller) to adjust material distribution across different sections based on product design requirements.

Producing Floats for Floating Solar Platforms
This machine produces the hollow HDPE floats that solar PV float manufacturers connect into floating platforms on reservoirs, lakes and industrial ponds. Chen Way supplies the blow molding machine; the float design, connection system and finished floating array belong to the float manufacturer. The accumulator die head delivers a heavy parison in one stroke, and its flow channels are designed for weld-line-free parisons.
Floats must be airtight with even walls to keep their buoyancy, so optional multi-point parison programming can add material at connection points and corners. HDPE grades such as MARLEX 50100, alone or blended with a second grade, have been specified for this product.
