The design of an extrusion profile has a large impact on how readily it can be extruded. The maximum size for an extrusion is determined by finding the smallest circle that will fit around the cross-section, this is called the circumscribing circle. […]
Metals that are commonly extruded include:Aluminium is the most commonly extruded material. Aluminium can be hot or cold extruded. If it is hot extruded it is heated to 575 to 1100 °F (300 to 600 °C). Examples of products include profiles for tracks, frames, rails, mullions, and heat sinks. […]
There are many different variations of extrusion equipment. They vary by four major characteristics: […]
The process begins by heating the stock material. It is then loaded into the container in the press. A dummy block is placed behind it where the ram then presses on the material to push it out of the die. Afterward the extrusion is stretched in order to straighten it. If better properties are required [...]
Extrusion is a process used to create objects of a fixed cross-sectional profile. A material is pushed or drawn through a die of the desired cross-section. […]
Blow molding is a multibillion dollar business. In the late 1980s annual worldwide consumption of plastic resin by blow molding processes was about ten billion pounds. […]
There are six kinds of PET Blow Molding Machineries:Single Stage Blow Molding Machine Two Stage Blow Molding Machine Integrated Two Stage Blow Molding Machine PET Blow Molding Machines Automatic PET blow molding machine Semi Automatic PET blow molding machine […]
Coextrusion Blow Molding of Large PartsCoextrusion is used extensively in small bottles and containers, but increasingly also for large blow molded parts (18.92 liters or 5 gallons and larger). […]
With the commercial introduction of containers, stretch blow molding became a common term in the blow molding industry. Stretch blow molding is the method of producing a plastic container from a preform or parison that is stretched in both the hoop direction and the axial direction when the preform is blown into its desired container [...]
The injection molding phase consists of injection molding a thermoplastic material into a hollow, tube-shaped article called a preform. The preform is transferred on a metal shank, called the core rod, into a blow mold. […]
