Introduction to Large - Scale Blow Molding Machines

In the world of modern manufacturing, large - scale blow molding machines play a crucial role. These machines are designed to produce a wide range of large - sized hollow plastic products, such as industrial containers, large - capacity storage tanks, and automotive components.
 
1. Working Principle
The working principle of large - scale blow molding machines is relatively straightforward yet highly efficient. First, plastic raw materials, usually in the form of pellets, are fed into the machine. The machine then melts these pellets through heating elements. Once melted, the plastic is extruded into a parison, which is a tube - like structure.
 
Next, the parison is placed into a mold. The mold closes around the parison, and high - pressure air is injected into the parison. This causes the plastic to expand and take the shape of the mold cavity. After the plastic has cooled and solidified inside the mold, the mold opens, and the finished hollow product is ejected.
 
2. Types of Large - Scale Blow Molding Machines
There are mainly two types of large - scale blow molding machines: continuous extrusion blow molding machines and accumulator - type blow molding machines.
 
- Continuous extrusion blow molding machines continuously extrude the parison. They are suitable for producing products with relatively small to medium - sized volumes, and the production process is continuous, which can improve production efficiency for mass - production of some regular - sized products.
- Accumulator - type blow molding machines, on the other hand, store a certain amount of molten plastic in an accumulator. When it's time to produce, a large amount of plastic is quickly ejected to form a parison. This type is more suitable for manufacturing large - sized products that require a large amount of plastic in one go, as it can ensure sufficient material supply for the production of large - scale hollow items.
 
3. Applications
Large - scale blow molding machines have a wide range of applications. In the industrial field, they are used to produce large chemical storage tanks, which need to be corrosion - resistant and have a large capacity to store various chemical substances. In the automotive industry, parts like bumpers, fuel tanks, and interior components can be made by blow molding machines. These parts made by blow molding not only have good shape adaptability but also can meet the requirements of lightweight and high - strength in the automotive industry. In the field of daily necessities, large - capacity water storage barrels for household or industrial use are also products of large - scale blow molding machines.
 
In conclusion, large - scale blow molding machines are essential equipment in modern plastic manufacturing. With the continuous development of technology, their performance is constantly improving, bringing more convenience and innovation to various industries.
