Researches on Manufacturing Deo Roll Balls by Ultrasonic Welding

Abstract

Ultrasonic welding is a fast and economical solution for plastic parts. This article proposes Ultrasonic Welding as an alternative technology for manufacturing deodorant roll-on plastic balls. With the current technology, the manufacturing of these balls results in an uneven wall thicknesses and a large technological runner of material that needs to be grinded and reintroduced into the injection equipment.The proposed method of manufacturing these deodorant balls is to form the ball from two ball halves joined together by ultrasonic welding. This process will result in significant savings in raw materials and energy.Further improvements of welding parameters and dimensions are required prior the transfer on high productivity manufacturing lines. This technology can be assimilated into other applications where hollow balls of plastic are used.
