Blow and extrusion blow molds

Bottles, containers, and hollow parts.

Molds for blow molding and extrusion blow molding of bottles, containers, and hollow parts, with controlled clamping, cooling, and geometry for series production. Final scope is defined based on geometry, material, equipment, volume, tolerances, and operating conditions.

Overview

Clamping, pinch-off, venting, and cooling defined for your blow molding machine.

The mold must match the machine, head, material, parison, volume, geometry, trimming, and cycle. Fundimoldes integrates engineering, machining, assembly, and validation.

In plain terms

Want to make a plastic bottle or container?

What it is

A blow mold has two halves with the outer shape of the container. In extrusion blow molding, the mold closes on a hot plastic tube and air pressure expands it until it copies the cavity.

What it is for

To produce bottles, containers, vessels and thin-walled technical hollow parts in series.

When it is the right process

When the part is hollow, has a neck or opening and is produced in volume. For very large tanks and vessels, rotational molding is usually considered; PET beverage bottles start from an injected preform that is stretched and blown.

What Fundimoldes makes

Fundimoldes designs and builds the mold. Containers are then produced on a blow molding machine, usually at the customer’s plant or their molder’s. Step by step: how to make a plastic bottle or container.

Variants

Types and scope.

Bottle and container molds

Cavities for consumer or industrial containers. Ideal for: Packaging, chemicals, cleaning products, and food, subject to materials and regulations.

Technical container molds

Hollow geometries with handles, functional areas, or assembly features. Ideal for: Industrial and automotive applications.

Molds for non-container hollow parts

Extrusion blow molded components with a technical function. Ideal for: Ducts, tanks, and special parts.

Cooled molds

Configurations with cooling circuits to stabilize temperature and cycle. Ideal for: Series production and dimensional control.

Workflow

How we work.

01
Container or part definition

We review CAD, volume, material, weight, neck, handles, finish, and tolerances.

02
Blow molding machine survey

We validate platens, stroke, clamping, head, extrusion, connections, and cooling.

03
Mold design

We define cavities, parting line, pinch-off, venting, cooling, and mounting.

04
Manufacturing and assembly

We machine and assemble components in aluminum, steel, or a combination.

05
Testing and fitting

We verify clamping, cooling, geometry, and demolding according to scope.

Deliverables
Technical assessment of the requirementManufactured solution or completed work, per scopeDimensional or functional inspection defined for the projectDocumentation included in the commercial proposalRecommendations for use, maintenance or next steps, when applicable
Keep in mind

Technical considerations.

Pinch-off line

It must seal and cut the parison in a way compatible with the material, wall thickness, and process.

Venting

Air evacuation affects surface detail and cavity filling.

Cooling

The circuit must balance cycle time, stability, and maintenance access.

Blow molding machine compatibility

Platen, clamping, head, extruder, connection, and envelope data are required.
