Two, the domestic hollow products processing methods and applications

Hollow products molding processing methods are blow molding process and rotational molding process. At present, the domestic hollow products are mainly blow molding.

By the way the parison molding, blow molding can be divided into extrusion blow molding, injection stretch blow molding, injection blow molding, *** extrusion blow molding and other four.

1. Extrusion blow molding

Extrusion blow molding process is mainly raw materials through the extruder plasticization, transported to the storage head (or continuous head), through the head extrusion billet, the billet is placed in the mold blown into products, and then cooled, remove the products.

Currently, the largest amount of domestic hollow products 5L ~ 1000L is extrusion blow molding process. The main raw materials used are HDPE, PP, ABS, PC and so on. The main products are all kinds of chemical products packaging barrels, automobile fuel tanks, automobile ventilation pipe fittings, desktop panels and other industrial products.
