Abstract:
Method to manufacture a container includes disposing a first parison within a first mold assembly having a first inner surface defining a first mold chamber. The first mold assembly includes at least one first insert disposed on the first inner surface within the first mold chamber. The first parison is blow molded to form a first container body within the first mold chamber, wherein at least one first portion of the first container body corresponding to the at least one first insert has a first portion temperature greater than a remaining portion of the first container body. The at least one first portion of the first container body can be contacted to at least one second portion of a second container body to attach the first and second container bodies. Assemblies, systems, and intermediate stage pre-assembly multi-chamber containers are also disclosed, as well as multi-chamber containers formed from the same.

Abstract:
A load cell deflasher for the punch and die deflash processing of product from an extrusion includes a load cell pressure transducer (34) interconnected with a punch (14) to sense pressure measurements of the punch against the extrusion (98) at the die (16) and communicate the measurements to a programmable logic controller (136) that controls the extension and retraction of the punch to the die and the structure accommodating pre-punch alignment of the extrusion to the die. The pressure measurements are logged in a trending database (138) of the programmable logic controller. If a pressure measurement exceeds a threshold value, the programmable logic controller can command instruct a positioning actuator (12) of the punch to abort its punch stroke prior to completion. If the programmable logic controller determines an upward trend of pressure measurements, an auto-tune mode (140) of the programmable logic controller can command instruct an extrusion card transfer positioning actuator (74) to adjustably position a gripper carriage (76) transferring the extrusion in intervening proximity between the punch and die to an optimal position for extrusion deflashing.
Abstract:
The process for manufacturing containers for fluid products, particularly medical products, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics or the like comprises the following phases: - modelling one or more layers of plastic material to form at least a substantially tubular semi-finished product (1) having a first extremity (3) and a second extremity (4); - blowing an expansion gas (5) in the semi-finished product through the second extremity inside a forming mould (6,7) with the first extremity substantially closed, to form at least a container (9) having a containment body (10) for a fluid product that, at the first extremity, extends in a closed dispensing neck (11) and that, at the second extremity, extends in an open bottom tang (15), the cross dimensions of the bottom tang being substantially smaller than the cross dimensions of the containment body; - introducing the fluid product in the containment body through the bottom tang; - sealing the bottom tang to form a sealing lip (19), the cross dimensions of the sealing lip being substantially smaller than the cross dimensions of the containment body.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for dividing a double top (1), displaying two pouring portions (2) facing away from one another and therebetween two mutually facing and continuous sleeve connection portions (3), and for placing of the individual tops (9a, 9b) in a packing and filling machine. The method comprises the steps of gripping, with a first gripping device (6), an advanced double top (1) at a first pouring portion (2), placing, with the first gripping device (6), the double top (1) in a position for division, gripping the double top (1) with a second gripping device (8) at a second pouring portion (2), dividing the double top (1) supported by the two gripping devices (6, 8) along a line of division (4) between the sleeve connections portions (3) forming two individual tops (9a, 9b), and placing, by means of the gripping devices (6, 8) the two individual tops (9a, 9b) in position for subsequent production steps in the packing and filling machine. The apparatus comprises a first gripping device (6) which is disposed for gripping cooperation with a first pouring portion (2) of a double top (1), a second gripping device (8) disposed for gripping cooperation with the second pouring portion (2) of the double top (1), the first gripping device (6) being supported by a first indexing device (16a) for stepwise displacement between determined positions, and the second gripping device (8) being supported by a second indexing device (16b) for stepwise displacement between determined positions, and extension devices (13) being disposed between each respective indexing device (16) and gripping device (6, 8) for governable extension of the gripping devices (6, 8), and a dividing device (7) disposed between the two indexing devices for dividing a double top jointly supported by the two gripping devices (6, 8).
Abstract:
The present invention refers to a process and mold (1) for plastic pack molding by using the blow molding technique by extrusion with cavities joined by the neck by a lost-head (20). The process of the present invention basically comprises: (i) formation of parisons (13); (ii) closure of the mold (1) so that the higher (2) and lower (3) cavities are closed over said parisons (13) by pressing and welding the ends of said parisons on the regions of higher (7) and lower (8) insert; (iii) clipping the lost-head region (4) with tweezers; (iv) advance of a set of needles (11), so that all blowing needles penetrate simultaneously through all parisons included in the mold; (v) feeding of pressed air until the walls of the parisons touch the internal surface of higher (2) and lower (3) cavities; (vi) air exhaustion and opening of the mold (1) to extract the packs which are suspended by the lost-head (20); (vii) stamping of newly molded packs to take out the scraps (17) from the bottoms; and (viii) transport of the packs to a cutter, in which packs are separated from the lost-heads (20). The invention also deals with an appropriate mold (1) to be used in the process disclosed.
Abstract:
An ejection station tooling assembly for a blow-molding machine including an upper support (12) and a lower spacer (14) mounted to the blow-molding machine and a plurality of slide rods (16) supported by and extending between the upper support and the lower spacer. A tooling plate (18) is mounted onto the slide rods for movement between a retracted position, toward the upper support, and an engaged position, toward the lower spacer. An adaptor plate is removably mounted to the bottom surface of the tooling plate and includes a plurality of ejection pins mounted thereon. The adaptor plate is removable from the tooling plate, allowing the ejection pins to be replaced, without removal of the tooling plate from the slide rods.
