Balloon forming (balloon blowing, blow molding) machines create balloons from thermoplastic tubing or parisons. The parisons are placed inside a cool mold, then the mold is heated and the high gas pressure is injected to expand the plastic into the inside shape of the mold. The mold is cooled back to room temperature before removing the balloon. The inside shape of each copper alloy mold is custom-made by Blockwise to the customer’s requested geometry.
Balloon Forming
Blockwise induction heating technology makes model FF the world’s fastest balloon forming machine. The thoughtful and refined design has the best ergonomics, safety, and process repeatability. Induction heating and direct-mold cooling provide rapid cycle times and superior uniformity in temperature. Touch-screen software design provides unmatched process flexibility with simple and intuitive recipe editing and management.
Balloon Molds
Blockwise offers a carefully thought-out system of mold assemblies that allow our model FF machine to make balloons ranging from 0 to 30mm in diameter, and 0 to 387mm in length. Our factory in Tempe, Arizona, USA is highly automated, providing easy custom geometry specification, quick delivery, and obviating the need for CAD modeling for the majority of mold orders.
