Abstract
A blow molding method and machine and more particularly a method and machine for extruding a multi-layer parison for blow molding, wherein at least two layers of molding plastics, each plastic compensating the poor or undesirable physical and chemical properties of the other plastic and/or each having a different color are forced to flow through different passages having an annular cross sectional configuration, and are joined at the junction of a short passage to be extruded into a multi-layer parison.
Claims2
A blow molding machine having a parison extrusion head provided with an opening at its lower end and having at least one partition cylinder disposed therein and coaxially thereof and defining a pair of concentrically arranged molding plastic reservoirs, an extruder for each of said resevoirs for charging molding plastics into said reservoirs, a mandrel positioned in the extrusion head opening to define an annular passage between the mandrel and the extrusion head, said mandrel having an upwardly extending rod, a first ring piston surrounding said rod for extruding molding plastic from one of said reservoirs toward said annular passage, a second ring piston surrounding said partition cylinder for extruding molding plastic from the other of said reservoirs toward said annular passage, and separate actuating means for moving said ring pistons to extrude the molding plastics from said reservoirs through said annular passage whereby the layers of molding plastics extruded from the reservoirs may be joined and extruded into a multi-layer parison.
