What is Injection blow molding machine?
Injection Blow Molding Machine, also called IBM Machine, is a kind of plastic molding manufacturing equipment that integrates injection molding and blow molding processes in one machine, which is widely used in the production of plastic bottles. IBM machine features high precision, high automation and high efficiency. Also it can meet the production requirements of plastic bottles with complex shapes. With the continuous improvement of the manufacturing, energy conservation and environmental protection, the technology of Injection Blow Molding Machine is also constantly advancing. It completes multiple steps such as injection molding of preforms, cooling and blow molding, automatic ejection through a one-step molding process, achieving high-precision of plastic bottles. Compared with the traditional two-step molding process, IBM machine has significant advantages like short production cycle, good consistency of finished product, high precision of bottle neck. It has a compact structure and a high degree of operation automation, making it an indispensable important equipment in the modern clean packaging industry.
Injection Blow Molding Machine is typically suitable for processing thermoplastic materials such as PP, PE, PET, PC, and PVC. They can be customized with multi-cavity structures according to different requirements, enabling flexible production modes from single-cavity to multi-cavity. This equipment is widely used in industries such as medicine, cosmetics, and laboratories. It is suitable for producing plastic bottles of different specifications. Common products include medicine bottles, small-capacity reagent bottles, perfume bottles, etc. With its outstanding performance and stable quality, IBM machine has become an important equipment choice for many plastic packaging manufacturing factories to increase production capacity, optimize processes and ensure quality.
Working Procedure of Injection Blow Molding Machine
Injection Blow Molding Machine is a widely used equipment in the production of plastic products. Its working procedure is very simple and efficient, which consists of two processes: injection process and blow molding process.
Injection Process: Firstly, the preheated and melted plastic particles are injected into the container of IBM machine through the screw feed port. Through the push of the screw, the plastic particles are heated and melted and extruded under high pressure. The machine is equipped with an injection nozzle, which sprays the molten plastic material into the cavity of the mold. After that, the material is rapidly formed into a preform.
Blow Molding Process: Once the plastic material enters the mold chamber, a blowing rod is immediately added. It will enter through one side of the mold and form bubbles around the plastic material. Under the action of pressurized gas, the plastic material begins to expand, completely filling the cavity of the mold. Meanwhile, the mold will also be adjusted or rotated according to the shape of the required bottle to ensure the precise shape of the container.
IBM machine completes the injection and blow molding processes through one equipment. This process is not only efficient, but also reduces the waste of material, which is very in line with the requirements of modern production.
