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.

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.

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.

This study presents the preform injection molding and the blow molding of the injection stretch-blow molding process for PET bottles. The numerical analysis of the injection molding and the blow molding of a preform is considered in this paper using CAE with a view to minimize the warpage and the thickness. In order to determine the design parameters and processing conditions in injection/blow molding, it is very important to establish the numerical model with physical phenomenon. In this study, we appropriately predicted the warpage, deformation and thickness distribution along the product walls.

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.

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.
