Problems solved by technology

But the industrial sector encounters a recurring problem: the contradiction between the crystallization rate (as just seen, the maximum hoped for) and the cycle time (the minimum hoped for).
The cycle times stated in the document are relatively long (more than 5 seconds, some more than a minute), so that to meet the current requirements in production speed (up to 50000 containers per hour), many times the number of machines is required, which aggravates the production cost

example 1

[0149] where H ref is the enthalpy of fusion assuming a fully crystalline sample. Choose 140J.g here -1 , which corresponds to the most commonly used values ​​in plastics laboratories. example 1( Figures 3A-3F , 4A and 4B)

[0150] In this example, the mold 5 was heated so that the temperature on its inner wall side was about 160°C. The material of the preform 3 is PET. The reaction gas is hydrogen (H 2 ). The gaseous mixture of air / hydrogen is carried out in a ratio of between 4% and 18% by volume of hydrogen, preferably 6%.

[0151] After the hot preform 3 has entered the mold 5, the method consists of a first operation, called pre-blowing, which consists in stretching the pre-form 3 by sliding the rod 12 while pre-blowing, opening the electric valve EV1 and EV2, a mixture of air and reaction gas at a pressure between about 5 and 20 bar is introduced into the preform 3 ( Figures 3A-3C , Figure 4B 1, 2 lines). The duration of this first operation is a predeterm...

example 2

[0162] During hot filling, most of the residual stress accumulated during the formation of the container 2 is released in the amorphous material with a large proportion on the side of the inner wall 42, so the inner wall 42 acts as a buffer for the highly crystalline material part, preventing deformation from propagating in the container. Example 2 ( Figures 5A-5H , 6A, 6B)

[0163] In this example, the mold 5 was heated so that the temperature on its inner wall side was about 160°C. The material of the preform 3 is PET. The reaction gas is hydrogen (H 2 ). The gaseous mixture of air / hydrogen is carried out in a ratio of between 4% and 18% by volume of hydrogen, preferably 6%.

[0164] After the hot preform 3 enters the mold 5, the first pre-blowing operation consists in stretching the pre-form 3 by the sliding of the rod 12, and at the same time performing the pre-blowing, opening the electric valves EV1 and EV2 so that the pressure is about A mixture of air and reacti...

example 3

[0178] During hot filling, most of the residual stress accumulated during the formation of the container 2 is released in the amorphous material with a large proportion on the side of the inner wall 42, so the inner wall 42 acts as a buffer for the highly crystalline material part, preventing deformation from propagating in the container. Example 3 ( Figures 7A-7L , 8A, 8B)

[0179] In this example, the mold 5 was heated so that the temperature on its inner wall side was about 130°C. The material of the preform 3 is PET. The reaction gas is hydrogen (H 2 ). The gaseous mixture of air / hydrogen is carried out in a ratio of between 4% and 18% by volume of hydrogen, preferably 6%.

[0180] After the hot preform 3 enters the mold 5, the first operation is pre-blowing, which is to stretch the pre-form 3 through the sliding of the rod 12, and at the same time pre-blowing, open the electric valve EV1 and EV2, so that the pressure is about A mixture of air and reaction gas betwe...

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for producing a container (2) starting from a preheated polymer blank (3) in a mold (5) having a cavity (8) determining the final shape of the container (2) (2). The method comprises the following operations: introducing said blank (3) into said mold (5) heated to a predetermined temperature; introducing a pressurized explosive gas mixture into said blank (3); igniting said gas mixture.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the manufacture of containers from polymer blanks by blow molding or stretch blow molding. [0002] In the following description, the term "blank" not only covers the concept of preforms, but also semi-finished containers, i.e. items that have been blown for the first time (blowing can be free) from preforms and used for It is blown a second time to form the finished container. [0003] Saturated polyesters, especially PET (polyethylene terephthalate) are among the polymers most often used for the manufacture of containers. [0004] To briefly recall, stretch blow molding of containers starts from a preheated polymer blank, which is passed into a mold with the final shape of the container, and then drawn with a stretch rod (also called a blowpipe). Stretch the blank, and blow the pressurized gas (usually air) into the blank, so that the material of the blank is pressed against the mold wall. Background technique [0...
