Summary
Plastic hollow molding workers are technicians who manufacture hollow products such as plastic containers, tanks, and parts using blow molding and other hollow molding methods. They heat and melt raw resin materials, blow them into molds for shaping, and perform product removal, inspection, and equipment adjustment.
Description
Plastic hollow molding workers operate blow molding machines by heating and melting pellet-shaped resin raw materials and blowing them into molds for shaping. After molding, they remove excess burrs and conduct dimensional and appearance inspections. They also handle mold installation, temperature and pressure adjustments, periodic equipment maintenance, and production record creation. Safety and quality management on the production line are emphasized, requiring knowledge of material properties and molding conditions.
