Abstract
A container production method by liquid blow molding has a liquid blow molding step of supplying a pressurized liquid into a preform disposed in a metal mold to mold the preform into a container having a trunk that has a flat shape in a plan view and holds the liquid; and a transferring step of taking the container out from the mold and transferring the container in an approximate short axis direction of the trunk.
Claims5
A container production method by liquid blow molding, the method comprising:
- a liquid blow molding step of (i) supplying a pressurized liquid into a plurality of preforms made of resin disposed in a batch metal mold, the batch metal mold including a plurality of cavities arranged in series, and (ii) molding the plurality of preforms into a plurality of containers each having a trunk with a flat shape in a plan view along a full length in a vertical direction, and each trunk holding the liquid;
- and
- a transferring step of removing the plurality of containers out simultaneously from the batch metal mold and transferring the plurality of containers in a short axis direction of the respective trunks in the plan view in a state in which the plurality of containers are filled with the liquid and a mouth of each container of the plurality of containers is not sealed, an acceleration applied to the plurality of containers in the horizontal direction during transfer of the plurality of containers being more than a gravitational acceleration, the plurality of containers being transferred in the short axis direction in the plan view along an entire length of a transfer path of the plurality of containers from the batch metal mold to a capping location at which the plurality of containers are sealed.
