PLASTIC BLOW MOLDING

Blow molding is a type of plastic forming process for creating hollow plastics products made from thermoplastic materials. The process involves heating and inflating a plastics tube known as a parison or preform.

The parison is placed between two dies that contain the desired shape of the product. Air is then supplied to expand the tube causing the wall to become thinner and conform to the shape of the mold. Once the blowing process is complete, the product is then cooled, ejected, trimmed and prepared for the secondary processes.

AgBoss have the PTB80 SERIES (30L) which is an accumulator head type blow molding machine. We produce Jerry cans, megaflow fittings and any hollow plastic products, our maximum size is 20 litres.

AgBoss manufacturing facility has a complete close loop recycling process across all machinery, this means all virgin materials that come into the AgBoss facility leave our facility as a non single use plastic item ensuring all plastics and off cuts are recycled back into production.

The blow molding process is highly complex and requires the expertise of professional designers and engineers. Please contact us with your questions; our team is happy to help guide you through the process.

Hot Melt Welding Machine

Hot Plate Welding is a thermal welding technique capable of producing strong, air-tight welds in thermoplastic parts. When using thermal energy in a tightly controlled manner, thermoplastic parts can be heated to molten temperatures very quickly and then joined together. Hot plate welding is used for a variety of applications including tanks, automotive lamps, plastic pipes etc. The process is tailored to suit each project by manufacturing custom molds to accurately hold the components in position.

To start the process the components are loaded into the mold, a hot point moves between the two parts before they move onto the hot plate. The melt time elapses and the parts move apart with the hot plate moving away. The two melted parts are then brought together and as they cool down the plastic welds together. Once cool the welded components are removed from the mold. We offer fully customised solutions. Our team is happy to guide you through the process.
