Abstract
The invention relates to a device for delivering a beverage into a thermoplastic container formed from a heated preform, the preform being approximately cylindrical and positioned in a mold, characterized in that it includes injection unit for injecting at least one beverage into a recess in the preform so as to promote expansion of the preform inside the mold, the mold defining the shape of the container, the injection unit comprising an injection head designed to inject at least one beverage through a mouth of the recess, the injection head being integrated into the mold.
Claims23
A device for delivering a beverage into a thermoplastic container formed from a heated preform, the preform being positioned in a mold, the device comprising an injector for injecting at least one beverage into a recess in the preform so as to promote expansion of the preform inside the mold, the mold defining the shape of the container, the injector comprising at least one injection head designed to inject at least one component of the beverage through a mouth of the recess, at least part of the at least one injection head being defined by the mold, the at least one injection head including a spout on an end of a duct perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of a container cavity defined in the mold, the spout being oriented parallel to the longitudinal axis, and an axially moveable stretch rod extending through a passageway defined in the mold.
A for delivering a beverage into a thermoplastic container formed from a heated preform, the preform being positioned in a mold, the device comprising an injector for injecting at least one beverage into a recess in the preform so as to promote expansion of the preform inside the mold, the mold defining the shape of the container, the injector comprising two injection heads designed to inject at least one component of the beverage through a mouth of the recess, at least part of the two injection heads being defined by the mold, each of the two injection heads including a spout on an end of a duct perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of a container cavity defined in the mold, the ducts being connected to a circuit for supplying at least one constituent of the beverage, and an axially moveable stretch rod extending through a passageway defined in the mold and wherein the ducts are located on opposing sides of the stretch rod.
