Blow molding is divided into three categories, injection stretch blow molding, injection blow molding, and extrusion or direct blow molding. Extrusion blow molding has been studied experimentally to characterize the blowing behavior of parison. Blow conditions such as blowing temperature and cooling time were the experimental variables in this blowing experiment. Wall thickness of the lower part of blow molded sample was thicker than that of the upper part because of the sagging of parison during extrusion process. As temperature increases the wall thickness and the weight of blow molded sample decreased. No thickness variations in the blowing sample were observed according to the cooling time. The lower part of the sample showed high degree of crystallinity compare with the upper part of the sample. Thus the lower part of the sample was strong mechanically and structurally. It was recognized that the uniform wall thickness could not be obtained by only controlling the operational conditions. Parison variator should be introduced to get uniform wall thickness of parison and subsequently produce uniform wall thickness of blow molded product.

Novel compression molding system for preform has been developed in this study. The preforms for injection blow molding and injection stretch blow molding are being manufactured by injection molding. However it contains gate mark that affects the bottom crack in the PET bottle. The compression molded preform does not contain gate mark, thus the appearance quality of bottle has been increased and the residual stress near gate(bottom of the bottle) has been reduced. The thickness distributions, haze, and transmittance are well accepted for the preform. Also, flow characteristics of the resin between a core and cavity could be analyzed through computer simulation.

Research on the reduction of plastic use to prevent environmental pollution is urgently needed. Accordingly, studies on reducing the weight of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles are currently being conducted. PET bottles are fabricated by injection stretch blow molding. In this study, stretch blow molding for fabricating PET bottles using preform studied through a computer simulation. Blowing characteristics are analyzed by varying the start time of the pre-blow, which is one of the process conditions of stretch blow molding. Simulation results and the preform inflation process are presented, and the parameters of stretch ratio, stretching path, thickness distribution, and weight distribution of blown PET bottles are investigated.

본 연구는 성형해석 및 실험적 방법을 통하여 페트 용기의 두께 편차를 최소화하기 위한 프리폼 최적화 설계를 수행하였다. 사출성형과정을 정확하게 묘사하기 인하여 3차원 모델을 이용하여 충진, 보압 및 냉각해석을 통하여 최적의 프리폼 설계변수를 설정하였으며, 이 결과를 이용하여 블로우 성형해석을 수행하였다. 성형해석결과를 평가하기 위한 사출성형 및 블로우 성형 실험을 수행하였으며, 실험결과와 해석결과는 정성적으로 일치하는 것을 확인하였다. 이러한 실험결과 데이타를 설계에 반영함으로서 최적의 프리폼 형상을 얻을 수가 있었다.

Forming of PET bottle was performed by injection-stretch blow molding. Blow molding is process of contacting the dies with air of materials by pressing. In this paper, the aim was to improve reliability of technical stabilization for the PET bottle that is last productive product and process technology which was able to do maximization by a preform performance enhancement of the uniform thickness that took temperature and a characteristic of materials. Preform design and dies manufacture were conducted using injection blow molding analysis results. Therefore thickness error of 5% for PET bottle can be obtained in this paper.

Blow molding is a manufacturing process in which thermoplastic preforms are preheated and then pneumatically expanded within a mold to produce hollow products of various shapes. The two-step process, a type of blow molding method, requires the output of multiple infrared lamps to be adjusted individually, so the process of finding initial conditions hinders productivity. In this study, digital twin technology was applied to solve this problem. A blow molding simulation technique was established and simulation-based metadata was generated. A response surface ROM (Reduced Order Model) was built using the generated metadata. Then, a dynamic ROM was constructed using the results of 3D heat transfer analysis. Through this, users can quickly check the product wall thickness uniformity according to changes in the control value of the heating lamp for products of various shapes, and at the same time, check the temperature distribution of the preform in real time.

사출-연신 블로우(injection-stretch blowing) 성형은 양방향 분자배향을 가지는 병(bottle)과 같은 중공 제품을 성형하는데 적용되며, 양방향의 배향은 강화된 물리적 상태량, 탄산음료병과 같은 제품에 중요한 가스 불 투과성 상태량을 제공한다. 사출-연신 블로우 성형 중 분리형(two-stage) 공정은 사출 성형으로 생산된 프리폼을 적외선 히팅 기구로 재 가열하고. 재 가열된 프리폼을 블로우 금형 안에 장착한 후 고압의 공기를 분사시켜 병의 형상을 생성 및 유지하면서 완성시킨다. 그러나 블로우 성형은 연신율이 10배 이상이 되기 때문에 최종 두께 분포를 예측하는 것이 매우 어렵다. 따라서 균일한 두께를 가질 수 있는 프리폼 형상 최적화가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 블로우 성형 연신 과정에 따라 페트 용기의 두께 변화를 알아보기 위하여 사출-연신 블로우 성형시 두께 편차에 대한 해석을 수행하였으며, 그 결과 첫째 사출-블로우 성형 로우 결과를 이용하여 프리폼 초기 설계를 최적화하였고, 연신 및 블로우 과정에서 공정 편차에용기 두께며, 그 결과 을 수치적으로 로우하여 공정 편를 최적화하였다. 둘째, 사출-블로우 성형시 연신 과정과 동시에 공기를 블로우하는 방법이 용기 두께의 편차를 최소화하였으며, PET용기 제작 기술의 안정화 및 신뢰성을 향상시킬 수 있었다.

Plastic containers which provides the opportunity to reduce transportation costs are lighter and less brittle than glass containers. As a results, efforts to replace glass with plastic are ongoing. The blow molding method is a typical approach in producing plastic containers. Single-stage injection blow molding (ISBM) is one of the blow molding methods. However, the difficulty in controlling the temperature during the injection molding process is considered its main disadvantage. In this study, ISBM process analysis of relatively thick walled containers such as cosmetic containers is carried out. The initial temperature distribution of the preform is deemed to be the most influential factor in the accuracy of blow molding for the thick vessel. In order to accurately predict this, all heat transfer processes of the preform are considered. The validity of this analytical procedure is verified by comparing the cross-sectional thickness with the actual product. Finally, the validated analytical method is used to evaluate the factors affecting the thickness of the final molded part. The ISBM analysis technique for thick walled vessels developed through this study can be used as an effective predictor for preform design and blow process.
