Plastic products
for automotive industry
Products
Air ducts, spoilers, expansion tanks, windscreen washer bottles, separators
The above parts are regarded as traditional plastic blow
molded parts in automotive sector, our equipment is used for
the production of similar parts practically for all leading
automobile producers.
Parts produced by the three-dimensional blow molding
Advantages of the above parts:
- seamless production
- less force for closing is required
- lower consumption of human labor for flash elimination
- improved wall thickness distribution
- lack of seam contributes to the increase in the part service life
These parts are suitable for usage in the under hood space since they are able to withstand temperatures of up to 160°C
Parts produced by sequential blow molding technology
One part is composed of various materials
A part manufactured by a conventional process consists of
23 components & requires 24 assembly operations.
A part produced by the sequential blow mold technology is
composed of 7 components & requires 8 assembly operations.
Plastic fuel tanks & plastic
filler pipes
In modern automotive industry most automobile producers make
use of plastic fuel tanks.
Since 1969 when we had produced the first plastic fuel tank
for a rally version of Porsche 911 which in 1974 was for the
first time employed in mass-produced vehicles we have become
& remain the indisputable leader in this area, currently
about 200 of our fuel tank production lines are effective
worldwide.
Plastic fuel tanks offer the following advantages:
- lighter weight (up to 50%) with respect to a steel tank
- lack of corrosion
- provide a larger tank volume
- ensure a higher degree of passive safety
- feature a more flexible geometric configuration thus saving
space in a car for a fuel tank
Several technologies for the production of fuel tanks are
available
Single-layer fuel tanks – in order to comply with fuel permeability
standards single-layer fuel tanks must be coated with fluorine.
Single-layer plastic tanks with the addition of polyamide
sela - based material – a single-layer tank is produced from
polyethylene with the addition of selar.
Six-layer fuel tanks – the most advanced technology which
has lately gained a wide popularity – complies with all up-to-date
ecological requirements in terms of fuel permeability which
is achieved due to the application of a barrier layer made
of a special material, EVOH.
