The document describes various extrusion blow-molding processes. It discusses the basic extrusion process which uses a hopper, plasticizing unit, extrusion die, and mold/clamping unit. It also covers co-extrusion, injection molding processes, stretch blow molding using preforms, and non-conventional techniques like 3D molding, molds with movable parts, sequential co-extrusion, and press blowing. The document provides details on each stage of various plastic bottle manufacturing methods from different polymer processing departments.
