Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for making a container having an integral handle, comprising the steps of: a) providing a preform (6) in a mould cavity (1); b) stretch-blow moulding the preform (6) to form an intermediate container (8) which comprises at least one, preferably two, convex bubble(s) (9); c) deforming the or each convex bubble (9) by means of an inwardly moving plug (5) to form one or more concave gripping region(s), whilst maintaining the pressure within the intermediate container (8) above 1 bar and whilst the temperature of the material in the gripping region of the intermediate container is maintained at a temperature between the glass transition temperature, T g , and the melt temperature, T m ; d) releasing excess pressure within the container, preferably prior to withdrawing the plug (5) from within the container; and e) ejecting the finished container from the mould cavity (1, 3).
Abstract:
The present invention relates to process for forming a container by stretching and blow-molding a preform within a mold cavity comprising the steps of: (i) introducing a preform into the mold cavity and stretching the preform with a stretch rod; (ii) increasing the pressure within the preform so that the preform expands within the mold cavity in a blowing step; (iii) at least one inwardly moving mold section within the mold cavity so that the expanding preform is deformed by the inwardly moving mold section; wherein the glass transition temperature (T g ) of the preform material is at least 10° C below the temperature of the walls of the mold cavity. The present invention further relates to a stretch blow molded container comprising walls of a thermoplastic polyolefin, the thermoplastic polyolefin having a glass transition temperature of less than 30°C and wherein the container has a degree of asymmetry of at least 1.5.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a flexible container containing a liquid product, wherein the flexible container (2) comprises a closure having an inner end and an outer end, the closure being fixed through the wall of the flexible container (2) such that the inner end of the closure lies within the flexible container (2) and is in contact with the liquid product, and the outer end of the closure lies outside of the flexible container, wherein the closure has an open position and a closed position, and wherein the outer end of the closure is connected to a self-sealing valve (30) which opens when the closure is in the open position and when pressure is applied to the liquid product within the flexible container, and which closes when the pressure is released. In another aspect the invention relates to a process of making a liquid-filled, flexible container.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for blow molding a polyethylene container comprising the steps of: a) providing a solid preform made from a polyethylene material having a melt flow index from 0.01 to 10.0 g/10 minutes, wherein the preform comprises a neck region, side walls and a base region, and wherein the side walls between the neck region and the base region have substantially straight and parallel outer walls; b) reheating the preform so that the maximum temperature difference between the hottest and coldest regions of the side walls and the base region of the reheated preform is less than 4°C; c) transferring the reheated preform to a blow mould; d) stretching the preform at a pressure below 10 bars; and e) increasing the pressure within the reheated preform so as to cause the walls of the stretched preform to expand to the shape and dimensions inside the blow mould. A polyethylene container made according to the present invention preferably has a minimum wall thickness of the container of less than 200 micrometers, and a weight to volume ratio of the empty container of less than 50 grams per litre.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for blow-molding a container, the container comprising a handle, whereby the process comprises the steps of: (i) introducing a preform (2) into a mold cavity and stretching the preform (2) with a stretch rod; (ii) increasing the pressure within the preform (2) so that the preform (2) expands within the mold cavity in a first blowing step, the pressure in the first blowing step is from 1 to 10 bar; (iii) inwardly moving jaws (3, 4) within the mold cavity so that the expanding preform (2) is partially gripped between the jaws in the handle region; (iv) subsequently increasing the pressure within the preform (2) wherein the maximum pressure in the second blowing step is greater than 10 bar, so that the preform (2) expands to the limits of the mold cavity in a second blowing step to form a container; and wherein the inward movement of the jaws (3, 4) is completed within the first blowing step.
