Blowmolding is the process of heating plastic pellets and converting them with air into a hollow finished part.
To start with, a metal screw, #1, turns inside an enclosure called a barrel, #2. Resting on top of this is a material mixing device, #3, which drops plastic pellets (#4) into the screw, which is located inside the barrel, #5. Heat is added via heater bands, #6, which turns the hard plastic pellets into a soft pliable state.
The plastic is then pushed through the head of the machine, #8, and through the head tooling, #9 to form what is referred to as the parison #10.
This parison is then captured by a set of water cooled molds and has air pressure introduced to force the parison to take the shape of the mold's cavity. Once cooled, the part is removed and trimmed.

While there are many blow-molding companies in the US and beyond, there are very few custom molders that have machines in the 20 to 75 pound class; Poly-flex has 13. Specializing in products that weigh 20 pounds and above is what sets us apart from the rest of the crowd.
With our unsurpassed collection of large part blow-molding machines, we have the ability to handle multiple large-scale projects at the same time.
Whether you have an existing product or are putting a new idea together, we can provide new processing methods that will ensure your product comes in on time, within budget, and performs far better than expected.
Only a handful of blow-molders in the world have the amount of larger press sizes located in our facilities. With three 75-pound presses, we can process all of your requirements at the same time - without the need to switch molds.
With machines strategically positioned to handle small, medium, and large part requirements, we have you covered.
