A blow molding process is used to form hollow plastic and glass products made from thermoplastic materials or molten glass. Plastic tubes called parisons are heated and inflated to inflate preforms. During the manufacturing process, a parison is placed between two dies so that the desired shape of the product can be achieved. Following the […]

The use of nitrogen for leak testing is widespread across a variety of industries. A range of industries use nitrogen to test leaks, although it is well known for its use in the petroleum industry to test pipelines and containment vessels. When it comes to leak detection, nitrogen offers several advantages. Due to its inert […]

Pressure regulators are an important component of fluid control systems. They provide pressure relief, maintain a consistent pressure level, and protect system components from damage due to excess pressure. Pressure regulators can be used in both air and liquid systems, with each type offering its own unique benefits. Air pressure regulators work by controlling the […]

How does air compare with oil? Air is the only way to go! Traditionally, pneumatic cylinder speed control has used air over oil. The speed is controlled by an air valve mounted on top of an oil reservoir, which is operated by air pressure. Kellypneumatics Mass flow controllers eliminate the need for an oil reservoir. […]

There are three technologies available for manufacturing parts, one of which is injection molding. Injection molding provides a predictable and scalable process to quickly prototype and produce products (the other two are machining and additive manufacturing). Commercial manufacturing industries benefit greatly from the use of injection molding in the production of plastic parts and products. […]
