Why Extrusion Blow Moulding(EBM) Is the Future of Packaging Solutions – LEO Precision
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.m
- 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).
