Manufacturing Process:

Injection Moulding:

1. Raw Material Preparation:
   The process begins with preparing raw plastic material, typically in the form of pellets or granules. These materials are carefully selected based on the desired properties of the final product, such as strength, flexibility, and heat resistance. Additives, such as colourants or stabilizers, may be incorporated into the raw material to achieve specific characteristics.
2. Melting and Injection:
   The prepared raw material is then fed into a hopper, which guides it into the injection moulding machine. The material is heated to a molten state inside the machine, ensuring it flows smoothly and evenly. Once the material is fully melted and injected under high pressure into a mould cavity. A mould is a precision-engineered tool that determines the shape and features of the final product.
3. Cooling and Solidification:
   After the molten plastic fills the mould cavity, it is allowed to cool and solidify. The cooling time varies depending on the size and complexity of the part being produced. During this stage, the plastic material hardens and takes on the shape of the mould cavity. Once the material is fully solidified, the mould is opened, and the finished product is ejected.

Blow Moulding:

1. Melting and Parison Extrusion:
   Similar to injection moulding, the process begins with the preparation of raw plastic material. The material is fed into a hopper and then into an extruder, where it is heated and melted. The molten plastic is then extruded through a die, forming a hollow tube called a parison. The parison is a preform that will be shaped into the final product.
2. Mould Clamping and Inflation:
   The parison is then clamped into a mould cavity. The mould is typically made of metal and is designed to create the desired shape of the final product. Once the mould is closed, compressed air is blown into the parison, inflating it like a balloon. The inflated parison expands to fill the mould cavity, taking on its shape.
3. Cooling and Ejection:
   After the parison has filled the mould cavity, it is allowed to cool and solidify. The cooling time varies depending on the size and complexity of the part being produced. During this stage, the plastic material hardens and takes on the shape of the mould cavity. Once the material is fully solidified, the mould is opened, and the finished product is ejected.
