Blow Molding by Extrusion
Where:
Dd is the mean of the diameter of the die.
Dm is the diameter of the blow mold
tm is the wall thickness
td is the initial thickness on the wall die.
rs is the expansion ratio of the diameter of the
parison and the wall thickness ------>

Blow Mold
A parison is the primary way to make a plastic container, in this case a plastic tube, hose, or
"casing."
PREFORM
The preforms can vary in terms of bottle mouth, weight, color and shape, and are specifically designed to
meet the needs of customers in various market segments.
The standard preforms are: PCO, 48MM, OIL, AFFABA
PCO:
Carbonated and Non-carbonated drinks
Weight 13g-50g, Volume: .3 - 2.5l, d=28mm
48MM:
Non-carbonated beverages, oils, syrups and
industrial fluids.
PCO 48MM
Weight: 74-100g, Volume: 4-8l, d= 48mm
OIL:
Vegetable oils, vinegars and sauces
Weight: 22g - 53 g, Volume .3- 2.5l, d= 38mm
AFFABA:
liquid dairy products and juices OIL AFFABA
Volume: 1l, d= 38 mm
MACHINERY AND PROCESSING COSTS
The machinery costs varies according to the needs of the company, the amount of production to be
made and the type of molding to be carried out.
Processing costs (sometimes called operating costs) are the charges for use of the injection molding machine used to
produce the part. They depend on the machine hourly rate, Ch ($/hr), and the effective cycle time of the process, teff.
SUPERFICIAL FINISHING
❖ Thanks to the simplicity of the process, they ❖ Extrusion molding has longer
create differents ways to work, one of many is cooling times than injection
the “trapped air process”, with this we can make molding.
hollow pieces closed
❖ It is not possible to mold in holes
except after the molding.
