The difference between blow molding machines and bottle blowing machines

Blowing machines and bottle blowing machines are two types of equipment that people often confuse. Many people think these two devices are the same, but in fact, they are really different. This article will take everyone to understand the difference between blow molding machines and bottle blowing machines.
Intuitively starting from the name, we can see the difference between them. A bottle blowing machine is a machine that blows bottles; A blow molding machine is a device for blowing plastic products.
Introduction to Blow Molding Machine
Blow molding machine is a tubular plastic mold obtained by extrusion or injection molding of thermoplastic resin, which is placed in a split mold while hot. After the mold is closed, compressed air is immediately introduced into the mold, causing the plastic mold to expand and tightly adhere to the inner wall of the mold. After cooling and demolding, various hollow products are obtained.
Introduction to Bottle Blowing Machine
A bottle blowing machine is a machine that blows recycled plastic or preformed bottles into empty bottles according to a certain processing method. The production process of blow molding machines is divided into two-step and one-step methods.
A two-step bottle blowing machine requires the production of plastic raw materials into a bottle embryo before blowing. There is a stage of manual and tube blank storage and shipment in the middle.
The one-step bottle blowing machine performs a detailed production process from blank injection to injection molding on a single machine, eliminating the need for secondary heating and saving energy consumption.
So although the literal difference between blow molding machines and bottle blowing machines is not significant, there are still significant differences in essence.
The difference between blow molding machines and bottle blowing machines
Not only do the working principles differ, but the characteristics of blow molding machines and bottle blowing machines are also different. The products produced by blow molding machines have uniform wall thickness and do not require post decoration processing. Moreover, the products are seamlessly assembled, resulting in less waste and edge waste. Additionally, the production of blow molding machines requires two molds.
