In today’s fast-paced consumer market, efficient, reliable, and high-quality
packaging is essential. Whether for beverages, household
products, personal care items, or industrial chemicals, plastic containers play
a vital role. Among various moulding methods, Extrusion Blow
Moulding (EBM) stands out as a preferred choice for manufacturing hollow plastic
containers with precision, speed, and durability.
What is Extrusion Blow Moulding ?
Extrusion Blow Moulding(EBM) is a process used to produce hollow plastic parts,
such as bottles and containers, by melting plastic and
forming it into a parison (a tube-like piece of plastic with a hole in one end
through which compressed air can pass). This parison is then
enclosed in a mould, inflated with air, and cooled to form the final shape of
the container.
How EBM Works: A Quick Breakdown
-
1. Plastic Melting – Thermoplastic
material is melted in an extruder.
-
2. Parison Formation – A continuous
hollow parison is extruded vertically
-
3. Mould Clamping – The parison is
captured between two halves of a mould.
-
4. Blow Forming – Air is blown into
the parison, inflating it to the shape of the mould.
-
5. Cooling & Ejection – The mould
cools the container, which is then ejected for trimming and
finishing.
Benefits of EBM in Container Manufacturing
-
Cost-Effective: Ideal for high-volume production with
reduced material waste.
-
Versatile: Suitable for a wide range of container shapes
and sizes.
-
Efficient: High-speed process with minimal cycle time.
-
Customizable: Allows for in-mould labeling, handles, or
view strips.
-
Strong & Lightweight: Produces containers that are durable yet
easy to transport.
Applications in Packaging
-
FMCG: Shampoo bottles, detergent containers, and food jars.
-
Pharmaceuticals: Syrup bottles and medical solution containers.
-
Industrial: Lubricant and chemical packaging.
-
Beverages: Juice and milk bottles (non-carbonated).
