Injection Blow Molding (IBM) is a manufacturing method used to produce plastic bottles and hollow plastic products. It combines the injection and blowing processes using high-pressure air. This technology enables the production of high-quality plastic bottles with extremely precise dimensions, making it especially suitable for the pharmaceutical industry, which demands high production standards.
Three Main Stages of the IBM Process:
1. Injection
In this stage, plastic material is heated and injected into a mold to form a preform — typically shaped like a tube or cylinder — as the initial form of the bottle.
2. Blowing
Preform yang telah terbentuk dipindahkan ke mold blowing, kemudian udara bertekanan tinggi dimasukan agar mengembang dan mengikuti bentuk botol sesuai desain mold.
3. Eject
After the blowing process, the formed bottle is automatically ejected by a mechanical system (usually via conveyor) for further packaging.
Compared to other technologies, IBM machines offer excellent efficiency and quality. Features like multi-cavity molds help reduce cycle times and increase production output. Additionally, the use of runnerless molds reduces material waste, while stable processing ensures consistent and precise product quality.
Medion Plastic has adopted IBM technology to produce a wide range of pharmaceutical-grade packaging bottles, including models such as B10K, B50TC, BSK60ML, BSK80ML, B1000LD, and BV. With this technology, Medion Plastic continues to uphold its commitment to delivering high-quality products that meet market needs and strict pharmaceutical standards.
