ROTATIONAL BLOW

Coor s beer bottle During the mid-1950s, Coor sBeer Company in Colorado almost used commercially stretched, injection blow-molded bottles. It would have used the blow-molding injection with rotation process. Unfortunately, it was using acrylonitrile-styrene plastic (AN-styrene from Barex plastic from Sohia of BP Chemical International) (DVR project), which was banned by the FDA. Many years later it was approved for use. See acrylonitrile-styrene plastic blow molding, injec-tion-with-rotation blow molding, stretched Coca-Cola bottle. 

As the vessel is only about half filled with slurry, the disks become coated with the cake when immersed, the cake is dewatered when the disks emerge from the slurry, and scraped or blown off, by reverse blow, into the central conveyor which takes the cake to one end of the vessel. The planetary action and the slow movement of the disks through the feed slurry ensure exceptionally good homogeneity of the cake which is critically important for good dewatering characteristics the typical speed of rotation of the planetary system of shafts is from 0.8 to 1 rpm. 

The Hartford-Empire 28 is a press-and-blow machine used to make articles such as drinking glasses (tumblers). It uses paste molds and the ware is rotated to avoid the mold seams jars with screw threads cannot be produced. The product leaves the machine as an almost closed, hoUow object and is finished by severing and fire-polishing with a bum-off machine. 

Molding Applications. Mol ding is accompHshed by three different methods blow mol ding, injection mol ding, and rotational mol ding, although the use of LDPE in these appHcations has been declining since the introduction of LLDPE on the market.

System designers often think dampers bloek airflow and are suitable to prevent baek drafts in idle towers. This is not the ease. Airfoil dampers simply hamper fan housing efficiency- they do not block airflow. Air Inlet Screens are always part of blow through, counterflow towers to protect people from rotating equipment. Some designs can be a hazard when accessible from the underside and require the specifier to call out additional screening. They can be a worthwhile accessory when there are nearby trees even when not required for safety reasons. Air inlet screens should be eliminated on towers utilizing inlet ductwork. Inlet ductwork may also make it necessary to block extraneous air entry such as from the underside when towers are elevated. 

Floating hollow spheres are made of polypropylene with projections to prevent rotation. They restrict oxygen absorption and reduce emissions with an effectiveness of 80 to 90 percent. High winds can pose serious problems by blowing the spheres away (University of Arkansas and Louisiana State University, 1985).

The process is attractive for a number of reasons. Firstly, since it is a low pressure process the moulds are generally simple and relatively inexpensive. Also the moulded articles can have a very uniform thickness, can contain reinforcement, are virtually strain free and their surface can be textured if desired. The use of this moulding method is growing steadily because although the cycle times are slow compared with injection or blow moulding, it can produce very large, thick walled articles which could not be produced economically by any other technique. Wall thicknesses of 10 mm are not a problem for rotationally moulded articles.
