Blow Mould Tool Design and Manufacturing Process for 1litre Pet BottleIOSR Journals
the concepts of Blow molding is a process used to produce hollow objects from thermoplastic. The
basic blow molding process has two fundamental phases. First, a parson (or a perform) of hot plastic resin in a
somewhat tubular shape is created. Second, compressed air is used to expand the hot perform and press it
against mould cavities. The pressure is held until the plastic cools. Blow molding process is used for which has
thin wall sections.In this thesis, blow mould design is to be done for a bottle having 0.5mm thickness. This
thickness cannot be filled in pressure injection molding. So blow molding is considered for pet bottle design.
The mould is prepared by first modeling the part, extracting core & cavity and generating CNC program. Blow
mould tool design is done in Pro/Engineer according to HASCO standards. A prototype of the pet bottle using
blow mould design is also included.

This chapter provides an overview of injection molding and the history of its development. It discusses how injection molding machines work and the key components involved, including the injection system, mold system, clamping system, and control system. Important parameters that influence the quality of molded parts are also covered, such as temperature, injection pressure, and cooling time.
This document discusses injection moulding machines. It explains that injection moulding machines consist of an injection unit and clamping unit. It describes the injection moulding process in four steps: clamping, injection, cooling, and demoulding/ejection. The document also includes sections on planning, risk assessment, budgeting, and references.
Injection moulding is the most widely used method for producing parts from thermoplastic and thermosetting resins. The process involves feeding plastic pellets into a hopper which pushes them into a heated barrel using a reciprocating screw. Once the plastic is molten, it is injected into a mould cavity under pressure where it cools and solidifies before the moulded part is ejected. Injection moulding can produce hundreds of parts per hour in a fully automated process.

ENHANCEMENT OF MOLD EFFICIENCY USING CONFORMAL COOLINGIRJET Journal
This document discusses conformal cooling in injection molds. It begins by introducing conformal cooling and how it can reduce cooling times compared to traditional cooling methods. It then discusses how conformal cooling channels can be constructed using techniques like laser sintering and 3D printing to better conform to mold cavities. The document reviews several studies that have found conformal cooling can reduce cycle times by up to 50% while improving product quality. It also discusses how conformal cooling helps maintain a more consistent temperature in molds compared to other cooling techniques. In summary, conformal cooling is able to more efficiently cool molds through customized cooling channel designs, reducing production costs by shortening cycle times without compromising part quality.
IRJET- Simulation of Blow Molding of Polyethylene Bottle using Ansys Poly...IRJET Journal
This document summarizes a simulation of blow molding a polyethylene bottle using ANSYS Polyflow software. The simulation aims to predict the final wall thickness distribution and stresses. The study models blow molding of a 100ml polyethylene medicine bottle. The simulation is divided into geometry creation, meshing, setting material properties and operating conditions as inputs, running the simulation, and analyzing output results of wall thickness variation over time. The results show wall thickness contour maps at different time steps, with thicker regions at the top and bottom of the bottle and a thinner, more uniform thickness in the body region. The study concludes the simulation can optimize the blow molding process to achieve required thicknesses with material efficiency.

It provides details on the state of each technology at that time, including that internal temperature measurement was possible using thermocouples for rock and roll machines and proprietary systems for biaxial ovens, internal pressure monitoring was available using proprietary systems, and internal cooling could be done using air or low-speed water misting on some machines.

Vacuum bag moulding and compression moulding techniqueSRIKANTH2011
Vacuum bag molding is a technique that uses vacuum pressure to remove air and excess resin from laminate layers, resulting in higher fiber volume fractions, better wet-out and adhesion between layers, and improved mechanical properties. It involves laying up plies, adding a bleeder system, bagging, and applying a vacuum to consolidate the laminate. Compression molding uses matched steel molds to compress and cure pre-impregnated layers under pressure, allowing high-quality finishes but requiring expensive presses and trimming. Both techniques can produce composites but vacuum bagging has lower costs while compression molding enables short cycle times and high throughput.

mould pressurisation to remove bubbles from parts in the second
edition of Crawford et al, Rotational Moulding of Plastics -
Wiley-Blackwell, 1996. Internal air cooling of parts has been an
accepted technique for many years. Recently there has been
interest in internal water cooling of parts.
In-mould cooling
The ability to cool parts evenly from both the outside and inside simultaneously provides parts
that have very balanced, homogenous properties throughout the part wall. This enhances the
product’s performance and provides greater impact strength. There is also less chance of
warpage and distortion if the moulding has homogenous properties.
Using this method can shorten cycle times meaning products may be produced faster. When
moulding thick walled parts there could be a significant benefit achieved by reducing the long
cooling cycles experienced, and reducing or eliminating the tendency to oxidise or burn the
inside of the mouldings. Tougher thick walled parts could be produced using shorter cooling
cycles.
It is important to point out that the rate of cooling is critical and considerable control of the
cooling is needed to avoid parts with reduced performance. Rotational moulding machines
need to be designed to enable in mould cooling as do moulds. These investments need to be
considered against the product performance gains. For most thin to medium walled parts
modern polyethylene grades provide intrinsically good mechanical properties if processed well.
2. We look forward to learning more about internal water cooling, but I am sure the same
control considerations apply as those required when using internal air cooling.
In-mould pressurisation
During the rotomoulding process there is a tendency for air to be trapped between sintered
powder particles. The trapped air appears as small bubbles in the wall of the moulded part.
This bubble formation process has been well researched and it has been proven that during
the heating cycle the bubbles disperse in the molten polymer.
As the heating process progresses the bubbles diminish in size and number. It can be difficult
to remove bubbles in some materials especially those of higher density and low melt index.
Included bubbles in parts can reduce the mechanical properties of the part and affect the
impact strength. Bubble free parts have higher mechanical strength.
Various techniques have been tried to remove bubbles. The most effective is the application of
a small pressure within the mould whilst the polymer is in its melt state. This encourages
rapid dissolving of the bubbles.
If it is felt desirable to remove bubbles using internal mould pressurisation moulds have to be
designed which can withstand the expected pressures. Particular attention is needed with
flange design and clamp arrangements. Rotational moulding machine designs must also
accommodate the plumbing required.
Adopting the technologies
Both of these technologies will ultimately create tougher products in shorter cycle times, but
the question is whether the product requires them. Most products created by traditional
rotomoulding techniques are tough enough for normal operating conditions.
Francis Ward has built in the ability to provide both of these technologies in its new POD
machine. We continually assess whether these and other process technologies provide benefits
to our customers, and where such technologies are thought to be beneficial we will discuss
them with the customer accordingly."
