But has high equipment cost and is suitable for manufacturing fine-mouth bottles, pharmaceutical factory mouth bottles and the like.
Injection molding is a process of heating and melting plastic particles, filling the melted plastic particles into a mold, and then solidifying and forming the plastic particles through cooling. Blow molding is performed by placing heated plastic pellets into a mold and then blowing with compressed air to form an air-tight cavity and maintaining it in a shape and size.
