Summary
Blow moulding is a relatively young process which has developed steadily and now includes many hybrid processes which have in common only the single feature that they use a gas to inflate the soft plastic preform or parison. Machines using these variations on the basic theme are now available, in series production, and seem likely to establish themselves in specific market areas.
Major emphasis is placed on extrusion and extrusion accumulator processes as these represent the major part of everyday blow moulding.
