Blow moulding isn’t just a manufacturing process – it’s a precise technique that transforms raw material into seamless, high-strength hollow products. Here’s a look at how injection blow moulding works, why it’s unique for creating consistent wall thickness and flawless structural integrity, and how our expertise ensures the best results for your needs.
BUT HOW DOES INJECTION BLOW MOULDING ACTUALLY WORK?
Firstly, a small, test-tube-shaped piece of plastic goes through the process of injection moulding to turn it into a preform. Which is then heated and shifted to a blow moulding station. Following this, in the next step using pressurised air, that preform is inflated into the desired shape. Hence, as a result a seamless, hollow product with consistent wall thickness and excellent structural integrity is produced.
This is not it. Injection blow moulding has a lot more to know. In the large family of blow moulding, Injection blow moulding is part of the many techniques. And its subtypes are much more to look into. As each one of them is suited for a different application and product requirement. Come let’s blow your minds:
For producing hollow parts by extruding molten plastic into a tubular shape (parison) this type of process is ideal. This process inflates the molten plastic inside a mould to give it the form of a final product. It’s usually used to produce items like bottles, containers, and automotive parts. The process is highly versatile. It is capable of accommodating a wide range of shapes and sizes, making it a go-to method for large-scale production.
To leverage the need of small to medium sized products this type of injection moulding is the best pick. It is high speed and it ensures continuous flow of materials too! Opting for this process also results in efficient and cost-effective manufacturing. In the production of packaging items like detergent bottles and small containers, this type of blow moulding process is taken into measure. The consistency in quality and lesser material wastage is observed in this process because of this nature of being continuous.
For products that are large, hollow and often circular in shape like barrels and water tanks, this blow moulding technique is usually opted. In this process the concept of rotating wheel allows manufacturing units for the simultaneous production of multiple items, hence increasing efficiency. For the manufacturing of products that require uniform wall thickness and high structural integrity, especially in larger dimensions it is a preferred method.
For producing small to medium-sized containers with intricate designs and consistent wall thickness, this method offers unparalleled precision, making it the most ideal choice. Pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries for bottles and jars, this process turns out to be a perfect choice. The process ensures that each product is lightweight and durable, with smooth surfaces and detailed features.
Intermittent the word says it all. Here, in this process it involves pausing the extrusion process. It is done to allow the creation of intricate details and complex geometry to form. Such type of moulding is often used for specialty items that are in need of detailed features or different wall thicknesses. For manufacturing custom made products this process offers flexibility of design and quantity.

TWO-STAGE INJECTION STRETCH BLOW MOULDING
SINGLE STAGE MACHINE
In this process, the single stage signifies that the preform and the final product are made within the same machine. This technique helps in streamlining production and reducing handling time. Hence, it turns out to be a highly efficient process. It is an ideal pick for producing high-quality bottles with excellent clarity and strength, commonly used in the beverage industry. To produce products of light weight and supreme quality, this technique is the best choice.
DOUBLE STAGE MACHINE
Process Stage 1st
Double stage means the preform is created in one stage and the final product in another.
Process Stage 2nd
It is then reheated and moulded into the final product in the second stage. This process offers greater control over the material to be moulded and the final shape as well. Therefore, this process is ideal for making complex designs and higher production volumes. Particularly for beverages and personal care products, where there is demand for high quality bottles in larger batches, this process is preferred.
