Importance of Static-Control Systems in the Blow Molding Processes
The hazards of static electricity in the blow molding process are numerous. Static electricity can cause equipment malfunctions and product contamination, affecting the product’s appearance and function. Furthermore, static electricity can be a safety hazard, causing shocks that injure personnel. Using a static-control system in place among plastic molding machines is critical to avoid these adverse effects.
What Causes Static Charges? When two objects rub against each other, an electrical charge builds up between them. This charge can attract dust and other particles, contaminating the product. Furthermore, static electricity can interfere with equipment operation, resulting in malfunctions. Static electricity can be dangerous if not properly controlled. If employees working with blow molding equipment come into contact with an electrically charged object, they can be shocked. This is why it is so important to have a static-control system in place.
The Effect of Static on Blow Molding Static electricity can have a significant impact on the blow molding process. Blow molding is a manufacturing technique for producing hollow plastic objects. First, the plastic molding machine heats the plastic pellets until they are soft enough for molding. Air then blows the softened plastic into the desired shape in a mold. The mold opens, ejecting the finished, cooled product.
