Extrusion Blow Extrusion Blow Molding (EBM)
PART VOLUME TOO LOW
Recommended Actions
Part weight too high
Mold too hot
Melt temperature too high
Cycle time too short
Mold volume incorrect
Volume-reducing insert installed
Air blow pressure too low
Part storage area too warm
Pigment loading, pigment type, or lack of pigment.
Possible Solutions
• Increase part weight/wall thickness
• Increase mold temperature
• Reduce cycle time
• Resize mold
• Install volume-reducing insert
• Reduce air blow pressure
• Heat storage area
• Verify pigment loading, or color-to-color master batch composition
• Reduce part weight/wall thickness
• Reduce mold temperature
• Improve cooling
• Reduce melt temperature gradually
• Increase cycle time
• Resize mold
• Remove or install lesser volume-reducing insert
• Increase air blow pressure
• Cool storage area or reduce storage time
• Verify pigment loading, or color-to-color master batch composition
