Abstract
A method for blow molding a container having a fiber-based shell (20) is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of providing a fiber-based shell (20) introducing a preform (30) into the fiber-based shell (20) in order to produce a semi-finished product (60) gripping the semi-finished product (60) by means of a gripper (40) transferring the semi-finished product (60) into a blow molding tool (50) and blowing the container. The gripper (40) presses an inner wall (21) of the fiber-based shell (20) onto an outer surface (31) of the preform (30).
Claims11
A system composed of a gripper (40) for transferring a semi-finished product into a blow molding tool and a head plate (51) of the blow molding tool (50), wherein the gripper (40) has a first gripping jaw (43) with a height (H) and the head plate (51) has a recess with a depth that equals the height (H) of the first gripping jaw (43) or has a projection (52) with a height that equals the height (H) of the first gripping jaw (43) to form a planar support surface.
