Dampening in forming and filling a container

A method of simultaneously forming and filling a container comprising:

• applying a pressure to a liquid using a pressure source to provide a pressurized liquid, the pressure source having an inlet, a chamber, an outlet, and a mechanically driven piston-like device moveable within the chamber in a first direction to draw the liquid into the chamber through the inlet and moveable in a second direction to urge the liquid out of the chamber through the outlet as the pressurized liquid;
• dispensing the pressurized liquid from the pressure source to a blow nozzle, the blow nozzle configured to transfer the pressurized liquid into a preform within a mold, the mold having a cavity defining an internal surface and configured to accept the preform;
• expanding the preform toward the internal surface of the mold cavity using the pressurized liquid to form a resultant container, where the liquid remains within the container as an end product;
• and
• dampening a first force using a first dampening means, the first force resulting from one of:
• dispensing the pressurized liquid from the pressure source to the blow nozzle, and transferring the pressurized liquid into the preform within the mold.
