Custom Plastic Molding Capabilities
OMICO is a blow molding company where we pride ourselves on our flexibility and on-time delivery rates. In our manufacturing procedures we are environmentally conscious, emissions free and always recycle product waste materials.
As more companies move away from metal and toward a more durable plastic, we are prepared for an increase in the usage of plastics and, therefore, production.
Our staff and machinery are able to manufacture a range of products varying in size from an inch to six feet. These products are used in various applications: automotive boots (protective covers), refrigerator drain tubes, air ducts, water reservoirs, parts for dishwashers and vacuum cleaners, bin doors and food service panels, carafes, serving trays and insulated plates. Over our 50 years, we’ve received awards by well-known companies such as Whirlpool, General Electric Appliances, General Motors and Hoshizaki.
An Overview of the Blow Molding Process
Blow molding is a manufacturing process that employs two-piece molds to create hollow parts and products made from plastic or glass. Industry professionals may use different variations of the process, such as extrusion blow molding, injection blow molding, or stretch blow molding, depending on the part and production requirements.
The Blow Molding Process at OMICO
At OMICO, we offer full-service blow molding solutions to help customers at every stage of the production process. Equipped with over five decades of industry experience and 26 blow molding machines, we can accommodate a wide range of project specifications, including:
- Shot capacities of 0.66 to 25 lbs.
- Product sizes ranging from 1 in. to 6 ft.
- Multi-component assemblies requiring plastic welding and press fitting
- Foam filling for insulated products
In addition to our blow molding capabilities, we offer custom mold design, new product development, existing product redesign, finishing, inspection, assembly, and packaging and shipping services.
A typical blow molding project proceeds as follows:
- Designing the custom product mold
- Blending and plasticizing the raw material
- Extruding the plastic as a parison (i.e., a sleeve of material)
- Enclosing the parison inside of the mold form
- Introducing compressed air to force the plastic to adhere to the mold design
- Removing the hollow form from the machine
- Trimming, inspecting, and assembling the form to customer specifications
- Packing and shipping the finished blow molded component for delivery to the customer
- Shredding and reprocessing waste material
