  • Patent number: 9044889
    Abstract: Method for producing a vessel (2) by blowing in a mould (11) from a preform (3) made of plastic material, comprising the operations consisting in: introducing the preform (3) into the mould; at a predetermined moment, called pre-blowing cue (tP), controlling the opening of an electrovalve (22) for establishing a communication between the inside of the preform (3) and a source (20) of gas at a predetermined pre-blowing pressure; measuring the pressure (P) inside the preform (3); detecting the so-called real moment (tA), of the beginning of the pre-blowing, at which the (P) in the preform (3) starts to increase; comparing this moment (tA) with a theoretical pre-blowing beginning moment; if the real moment (tA) of the beginning of the pre-blowing follows the theoretical pre-blowing beginning moment, advance the pre-blowing cue (tP); if the real moment (tA) of the beginning of the pre-blowing precedes the theoretical pre-blowing beginning moment, delay the pre-blowing cue (tP).

  • Patent number: 8721940
    Abstract: A method for producing a vessel by stretch blow-molding in a mold from a preform made of plastic material includes heating the preform and introducing the preform in the mold. The preform is stretched by a rod displaced at a predetermined stretching speed. At a pre-blowing cue, the electrovalve is opened for establishing a communication between the inside of the preform and a gas source at a predetermined pre-blowing pressure and a pre-blowing flow rate. Pressure inside the preform is measured and a pressure peak is detected. The moment at which this pressure peak occurs and the corresponding pressure inside the preform is stored and compared with a predetermined moment and pressure for a theoretical pressure peak. Depending on the result, at least one of the following are modified: pre-blowing pressure, pre-blowing flow rate, pre-blowing cue, stretching speed, and heating temperature.

  • Patent number: 8532814
    Abstract: A method for producing a vessel (2), involving: placing a preform (3) into the mold; at the pre-blowing cue (tp), controlling the opening of an electrovalve (22) for establishing communication between the preform (3) and a source (20) of gas at a predetermined pre-blowing pressure (Pp); measuring the pressure (P) inside the preform (3); at the blowing cue (tS), controlling the opening of an electrovalve (26) for establishing a communication between the preform (3) and a source (24) of a gas at a blowing pressure (PS) higher than the pre-blowing pressure (Pp); memorising the variations of the pressure (P) inside the preform (3) at least during the interval between the pre-blowing cue (tp) and the blowing cue (tS); detecting the expansion end moment (tC) from which the pressure in the preform (3) increases in a linear manner; and advancing the blowing cue (tS) according to the expansion end moment (tC).
