Abstract
A blow-molding apparatus has an ionization bar extending along the row of extruded parisons to dissipate electrostatic charge thereon. The ionization bar comprises a conductive strip received in an insulating holder and preferably a copper laminate strip whose longitudinal edge is turned toward the parisons and can be formed with an array of pointed teeth.
Claims4
A blow-molding apparatus comprising:
- a multicavity blow-molding station having a row of cavities for receiving respective parisons for blow molding same;
- a row of extrusion heads located above the blow mold for extruding respective parisons in a row downwardly into the respective cavities;
- and
- an ionization bar extending alongside said parisons between said heads and said blow-molding station for neutralizing electrostatic charges on said parisons resulting from extrusion thereof, said ionization bar comprising an insulating holder and an electrically conductive strip mounted in said holder and forming a single continuous electrode extending along said row of parisons and having a longitudinal edge turned toward said parisons.
