The continuously growing demand for inexpensive, efficient manufacturing methods drives businesses to develop new technologies which can produce more products faster and at the same or better quality. Companies take different approaches to increasing production be it by buying state-of-the-art machinery or retrofitting older machinery. FastiUSA engineers products for the blow-molding industry for the improvement of existing machinery through various technologies. One such product, the Blow Mold Booster, blows the product through the use of cold air which speeds cooling, therefore reduces cycle times. While some studies have been conducted to examine the effect that internal cooling has on the product, the goal of this thesis is to determine its effects on Extrusion Blow molded HDPE containers. The data shows that the addition of the Fasti internal cooling device significantly increases package production without significantly affecting container performance.
