    摘要: A method of hydraulically blow molding a container from a preform using a liquid end product as a liquid blow medium. The method includes the steps of hydraulically blow molding a formed and filled container from a preform using the liquid blow medium and engaging a fluid tight seal with the container while the container is retained within a mold in the forming station. The engaging of the seal includes engaging an axially extending ring of the seal in one of a press-fit or frictional engagement with an inner surface of the container such that the seal is retained on the container by that engagement.

    摘要: Ways for simultaneously forming and filling a container are provided. A hydraulic intensifier (60) receives a first liquid (18) and dispenses the first liquid (18) at a first pressure, where a moveable member (62) having a first surface (64) contacts the first liquid (18) and a second surface (66) contacts a second liquid (68). The second liquid (68) provides a second pressure on the second surface (66) so that the first pressure is applied to the first liquid (18) by the first surface (64). The first surface (64) has a smaller area than the second surface (66) and the first pressure is greater than the second pressure. A blow nozzle (22) transfers the first liquid (18) at the first pressure into a preform (12) within a mold cavity (16) to urge the preform (12) to expand toward an internal surface (34) of the mold cavity (16) and form a resultant container. The first liquid (18) remains within the container as an end product.

    摘要: A machine for producing a container from a preform having a body and a neck defining an inner cylindrical opening. The machine includes a container forming and filling station where the preform is placed in a mold having a molding cavity and a forming liquid is injected into the preform thereby forming and filling the container with a liquid. Prior to forming of the container, an extension device is attached to the neck of the preform thereby forming an assembly. The extension device includes a connection part for attaching to the preform and an extension part defining an inner opening extending in the continuity of the inner opening of the neck of the preform. The extension device remains attached to the neck of the preform at least during the forming and the filling of the container.

    摘要: A method of forming a container from a plastic preform while using a liquid as a blow medium. During the method, liquid is withdrawn from the container to reduce pressure within the container prior to disengaging of the injection head from the container. In one aspect the method involves the opening of a recirculation valve to reduce the pressure. The opening of the recirculation valve allowing air dispersed within the liquid to rise to the top of the container before disengaging of a forming head from the container. As a result, splashing and spillage of liquid from the neck of the container is eliminated when the forming head disengages from the container.

    摘要: An injection device for injecting a pressurized liquid into a preform and forming a container. The injection device including a piston device having a piston body and a piston head arranged to reciprocate in the piston body and to fluidly isolate an inner chamber of the piston device. The piston body having a recess portion defining a location where the piston head is not in liquid tight contact with the piston body such that liquid can flow from the inner chamber to a part of the piston body on an opposite the inner chamber. The injection device being arranged for driving the piston head in the recess portion in a clean-in-place (CIP) configuration.

    摘要: An injection device having at least one flexible diaphragm. The injection device for forming a preform into a container and filling the container, and further including a main housing having an inlet, an outlet and an injection chamber, a closing body movable relative to the outlet between a closed position and an opened position, a closing diaphragm attached at least to the closing body, the injection chamber being delimited at least by an inner surface of the closing diaphragm, the closing diaphragm having an outer surface defining an outside area, a bearing surface against which a supported portion of the outer surface of the closing diaphragm is applied. The closing diaphragm further includes a free portion forming with the supported portion the whole outer surface of the closing diaphragm. The bearing surface is arranged such that the surface of the free portion decreases when the closing body moves from the closed position to the opened position.
