The manufacture of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) containers is now very common, but there has been little research on energy saving in this manufacturing technique. This paper provides a feasible, simple, and low-cost energy-saving manufacturing technology for injection stretching blow molding (ISBM). This study is divided into two parts: an experimental part and a computational part by computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The principle and execution methods of the experiment and computation are delineated in the text. Sensor detection is used to confirm the result of CFD. The finished product produced by the proposed technique has a higher quality than a product made in a factory and the energy saving was approximately 14%. In the future, we will continue to study the integration of various technical details so that machine operators can better understand the methods of energy-saving operation and thereby contribute to environmental protection simultaneously.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
