This patent-pending, modular bottle blow molding idea from PepsiCo Inc. aims to increase the flexibility of and reduce the tooling costs and lead times associated with the process of traditional container blow molding. This fresh take on blow molding focuses on the multiple components, or “embodiments,” that enable a blow mold cavity to give shape and structure to blow molded containers. According to PepsiCo, the modularity of the embodiment components enable interchangeability, meaning the embodiments can be rapidly reconfigured and/or reused whenever a bottle undergoes a redesign. The idea also addresses the strength, durability, flexibility, and surface quality of the bottles produced, and can be scaled for both lab and pilot runs to full-scale production needs spanning from just a few to millions of bottles.
