What is plastic extrusion?
Plastic extrusion is a manufacturing process that creates objects with a continuous profile. It involves using a plastic extrusion machine, which melts plastic granules before pushing them through an opening and forming them into the desired shape. The plastic extrusion process requires relatively high temperatures and pressures, making it suitable for thermoplastics that can be melted without degrading their molecular structure.
Depending on the type of plastic used, this process may also involve adding other materials, such as pigments or additives, to create specific properties in the end product.
Applications of plastic extrusion include:
- Production of plastic pipes
- Water and gas lines
- Window frames and door panels
- Medical devices
- Automotive parts
- Electrical components
What is Blown Film Extrusion?
Blown film extrusion is a plastic manufacturing process involving a plastic blown film machine. In this process, a plastic resin is melted and forced through an annular die - forming a tube of molten plastic. Air or gas then blows up the tube like a balloon, resulting in a thin plastic sheet or “bubble.” This bubble can then be cooled and solidified into plastic sheets used for packaging materials.
The main benefit of using blown film extrusion include the following:
- It allows for high speeds of production with superior-quality plastic films.
- It enables manufacturers to customize their products by varying the thickness, width, and length of the plastic films they produce.
Blown film extrusion machines at Integrated Solutions are well-suited for plastic film applications requiring consistent strength and stability. It is commonly used in many applications, from food packaging to industrial plastic bags. Ultimately, it provides manufacturers with an easy and cost-effective way to create plastic films for various uses.
What is Melt Blown Process?
The melt blown process is a manufacturing method to create very fine fibers from molten materials. It works by forcing the molten material through tiny nozzles and onto a conveyor belt, which cools off quickly, forming fine fibers collected on the conveyor belt.
The process is relatively simple but requires careful control over temperature, pressure, and nozzle size to ensure the right fiber quality is created. The melt blown process has become an essential part of many industries because it produces uniform and reliable products at low costs.
These fibers can then be used in various applications ranging from:
- Air and water industrial filtration. The resulting fabric is highly porous, making it ideal for trapping particles from fluids passing through the filter.
- Medical applications: Melt blown fabrics can be used in face masks, disposable gowns, and other protective gear due to their ability to trap microorganisms and other contaminants.
- Consumer products: Create fabrics for insulation, wipes, and other commercial products
