Extrusion blow molding machine

An extrusion blow molding machine comprising:

• a first row of openings for extruding a first row of multiple parisons;
• a second row of openings for extruding a second row of multiple parisons;
• a mold having a length and including a first row of cavities extending along the length and a second row of cavities extending along the length adjacent the first row of cavities;
• a first row of blow pins for cooperating with the first row of cavities to force the first row of parisons outwardly within the mold;
• and
• a second row of blow pins for cooperating with the second row of cavities to force the second row of parisons outwardly within the mold.

A method for producing multiple rows of extruded blow molded products comprising the steps of:

• extruding a first and a second row of multiple parisons;
• receiving the first row of multiple parisons within a first row of mold cavities extending along a length in a mold;
• receiving the second row of multiple parisons within a second row of mold cavities extending along the length in the mold adjacent the first row of cavities;
• blowing a pressurized fluid within the first and second rows of multiple parisons to force the parisons outwardly within the first and second rows of mold cavities to form first and second rows of molded products;
• and
• releasing the first and second rows of molded products from the first and second rows of mold cavities.
