Multi-Functional Exchange Blow Molding Airduct

This multi-functional-exchange blow-molded air duct integrates the resonator, brackets, and pipe in a single step using a combination of hard PP / soft TPV resins via a new process.  The part replaced a combination of rubber hose, metal and resin ducts, the resonator, and clamps with a single part produced in a single process step where material change, wall thicknesses, and inner pressure are all controlled very precisely.  The application saved an estimated 30-40% in weight and 25-35% in both direct and indirect costs.
