  • Patent number: 6113841
    Abstract: A blow molding machine comprising a base, a wheel mounted rotationally on the base, a controller to control operation of a pin within a die, and a position detector for detecting a short run mold on the wheel wherein the wheel comprises a plurality of identical molds and the short run mold which differs in size and/or shape from each of the plurality of identical molds. The position detector, upon detecting the short run mold, switches a relay to switch from a first pin control program causing the extrusion of a parison having appropriate parameters for the plurality of identical molds, to a second pin control program causing the extrusion of a parison having appropriate parameters for the short run mold.

  • Patent number: 6066376
    Abstract: A high-barrier non-foil laminate composition is disclosed. The laminate composition comprises an outer heat stable layer, a barrier layer, and an inner layer that readily adheres to metal with the application of heat. The outer and inner layers may be bonded to the barrier layer by means of adhesive layers. Preferably, the outer layer comprises a material with a higher melting temperature than the inner layer such as polyethylene terephthalate. The barrier layer may be a high-barrier saran and the sealant layer may be a copolymer of ethylene and acrylic acid.
