Must-know tips for blow molders to save costs

After realizing how valuable sustainability is for any business, we don’t blame you for trying to find out tips to improve your blow molding production. Here are some of them:

1. Choose and work with eco-friendly resins:

Products like bottles, jerry cans, drums, tanks, etc. all use different plastic resins for their fabrication. Analyze the properties of HDPE, LDPE, PP, PC and other resins and choose the one that best fits your application requirements while also keeping the environment in mind.

2. Use Calcium Carbonate in your blow molded products:

Adding Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3) to the middle layer of your three-layer products replaces virgin material -which is very expensive- and results in the reduction of production costs. For example, in some African countries, like Kenya, HDPE Jerry Cans manufactured by Extrusion Blow Molding Machines are very popular. 3-layer jerry cans are the most popular choice for edible oil export countries and by combining 30%-35% recycled material with 30%-35% Calcium Carbonate in the middle layer, a reduction of 12%-15% material cost can be achieved. Moreover, carbon footprint and greenhouse gas impact of the finished products will also be minimized.

3. Manage your energy expenditure:

For industries such as blow molding, energy can be a huge operation cost. From using an efficient blow molding machine in the production of your plastic products to monitoring how energy is used company-wide, energy expenditure can be significantly reduced in your business.
