Definitions
- This disclosure generally relates to an apparatus and method for forming and filling a plastic container. More specifically, this disclosure relates to an apparatus and method for simultaneously forming and filling a plastic container.
- PET containers are now being used more than ever to package numerous commodities previously supplied in glass containers.
- % Crystallinity ( P ⁇ P " )xlOO Pc - Pa
- p is the density of the PET material
- p a is the density of pure amorphous PET material (1.333 g/cc)
- p c is the density of pure crystalline material (1.455 g/cc).
- the present disclosure provides a system and method for using the final liquid product to impart the pressure required to expand a hot preform and to take on the shape of a mold thus simultaneously forming and filling the container.
- the system includes a mold cavity defining an internal surface and adapted to accept a preform.
- the system also includes a pressure source having an inlet, a filling cylinder and a piston-like device.
- the piston-like device is moveable within the filling cylinder in a first direction such that liquid is drawn into the filling cylinder through the inlet and in a second direction such that the liquid is urged toward the preform.
- a blow nozzle may be adapted to receive the liquid from the pressure source and transfer the liquid at high pressure into the preform thereby urging the preform to expand toward the internal surface of the mold cavity and create a resultant container. The liquid remains within the container as an end commodity.
- FIG. 1 is a schematic depiction of a heated preform passed into a mold station and being subject to an optional sterilization step, wherein a pressure source including a piston-like device begins to move upward, drawing liquid into the pressure source in accordance with the teachings of the present disclosure.
- FIG. 1 wherein the mold halves close around the preform and liquid continues to accumulate in the pressure source.
- FIG. 3 is a schematic depiction of the system illustrated in
- FIG. 2 wherein a stretch rod extends into the preform to initiate mechanical stretching and wherein fluid continues to accumulate in the pressure source.
- FIG. 4 is a schematic depiction of the system of FIG. 3 wherein the stretch rod stretches the preform and wherein fluid has been fully accumulated in the pressure source.
- FIG. 5 is a schematic depiction of the system of FIG. 4 wherein the piston-like device drives the liquid from the pressure source to the preform thereby expanding the preform toward the walls of the mold cavity.
- FIG. 6 is a schematic depiction of the system of FIG. 5 wherein the piston-like device has been fully actuated thereby completely transferring an appropriate volume of liquid to the newly formed container and wherein the stretch rod is withdrawing;
- FIG. 7 is a schematic depiction of the system of FIG. 6 wherein the mold halves separate and the piston-like device begins to draw liquid into the pressure source in preparation for the next cycle.
- FIGS. 1 -7 show one exemplary sequence according to the present teachings.
- the mold station 10 and associated method utilize a final liquid commodity L to impart the pressure required to expand a hot preform 12 to take on the shape of a mold thus simultaneously forming and filling a resultant container C (FIG. 7).
- the mold station 10 generally includes a mold cavity 16, a pressure source 20, a blow nozzle 22 and a stretch rod 26.
- the exemplary mold cavity 16 illustrated includes mold halves 30, 32 that cooperate to define an interior surface 34 corresponding to a desired outer profile of a blown container.
- the mold cavity 16 may be moveable from an open position (FIG. 1) to a closed position (FIG. 2) such that a support ring 38 of the preform 12 is captured at an upper end of the mold cavity 16.
- the preform 12 may be formed of a polyester material, such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET), having a shape well known to those skilled in the art similar to a test-tube with a generally cylindrical cross section and a length typically approximately fifty percent (50%) that of the resultant container C height.
- PET polyethylene terephthalate
- the support ring 38 may be used to carry or orient the preform 12 through and at various stages of manufacture.
- the preform 12 may be carried by the support ring 38, the support ring 38 may be used to aid in positioning the preform 12 in the mold cavity 16, or an end consumer may use the support ring 38 to carry the plastic container C once manufactured.
- the blow nozzle 22 generally defines an inlet 50 for accepting the liquid commodity L from the outlet 48 of the pressure source 20 and an outlet 56 (FIG. 1) for delivering the liquid commodity L into the preform 12. It is appreciated that the outlet 56 may define a shape complementary to the preform 12 near the support ring 38 such that the blow nozzle 22 may easily mate with the preform 12 during the forming/filling process. In one example, the blow nozzle 22 may define an opening 58 for slidably accepting the stretch rod 26 used to initiate mechanical stretching of the preform 12.
- the stretch rod 26 may extend into the preform 12 to initiate mechanical stretching.
- the liquid commodity L may continue to be drawn into the filling cylinder, manifold or chamber 42.
- the stretch rod 26 continues to stretch the preform 12 thereby thinning the sidewalls of the preform 12.
- the volume of the liquid commodity L in the filling cylinder, manifold or chamber 42 may increase until an appropriate volume suitable to form and fill the resultant container C is reached.
- a valve disposed at the inlet 46 of the pressure source 20 may be closed.
- the piston-like device 40 has completed its drive phase thereby completely transferring the appropriate volume of the liquid commodity L to the newly formed plastic container C.
- the stretch rod 26 may be withdrawn from the mold cavity 16 while continuing to vent residual air.
- the stretch rod 26 may be designed to displace a predetermined volume of the liquid commodity L when it is withdrawn from the mold cavity 16 thereby allowing for the desired fill level of the liquid commodity L within the resultant plastic container C.
- the desired fill level will correspond at or near the level of the support ring 38 of the plastic container C.
- the liquid commodity L can be provided at a constant pressure or at different pressures during the molding cycle.
- the liquid commodity L may be provided at a pressure which is less than the pressure applied when the preform 12 is blown into substantial conformity with the interior surface 34 of the mold cavity 16 defining the final configuration of the plastic container C.
- This lower pressure Pi may be ambient or greater than ambient but less than a subsequent high pressure P 2 .
- the preform 12 is axially stretched in the mold cavity 16 to a length approximating the final length of the resultant plastic container C.
- the preform 12 is generally expanded radially outward under the low pressure P 1 .
- This low pressure P 1 is preferably in the range of between approximately 100 PSI to 150 PSI.
- the preform 12 is further expanded under the high pressure P 2 such that the preform 12 contacts the interior surface 34 of the mold halves 30, 32 thereby forming the resultant plastic container C.
- the high pressure P 2 is in the range of approximately 500 PSI to 600 PSI.
- more than one piston-like device may be employed during the formation of the resultant plastic container C.
- a primary piston-like device may be used to generate the low pressure P 1 to initially expand the preform 12 while a secondary piston-like device may be used to generate the subsequent high pressure P 2 to further expand the preform 12 such that the preform 12 contacts the interior surface 34 of the mold halves 30, 32 thereby forming the resultant plastic container C.
- the fill cycle is shown completed.
- the mold halves 30, 32 may separate and the blow nozzle 22 may be withdrawn.
- the resultant filled plastic container C is now ready for post- forming steps such as capping, labeling and packing.
- the piston- like device 40 may begin the next cycle by drawing the liquid commodity L through the inlet 46 of the pressure source 20 in preparation for the next fill/form cycle.
- the mold station 10 may include a controller for communicating signals to the various components. In this way, components such as, but not limited to, the mold cavity 16, the blow nozzle 22, the stretch rod 26, the piston-like device 40 and various valves may operate according to a signal communicated by the controller. It is also contemplated that the controller may be utilized to adjust various parameters associated with these components according to a given application. [0030]
- some of the processing parameters can be lowered while still reaching desired results.
- the requirements for preform conditioning can be reduced because the crystallinity requirements can be lowered.
- mold conditioning requirements can be reduced which can reduce the amount of oils and/or other surface preparation materials used on the interior surface 34 of the mold cavity 16.
- the integrated blowing and filling process described herein can be used to form containers having carbonated beverages (i.e., soda, etc.).
- liquid carbon dioxide can be used in solution as part of, or in addition to, the liquid commodity during the simultaneous blowing and filling process.
- Liquid carbon dioxide prevents foaming that could otherwise occur when blowing with a liquid commodity having gaseous carbon dioxide.
- Carbon dioxide may exist in liquid form at a given pressure and temperature.
- Integrating the two processes into a single step may reduce labor and additional costs (both capital and expense) associated with handling bottles after they are produced and before they are filled.
- Integrating the blowing and filling processes into a single process eliminates the need to ship bottles. The shipping of bottles is inherently inefficient and expensive. Shipping preforms, on the other hand, is much more efficient. In one example, a trailer load of empty 500 ml water bottles contains approximately 100,000 individual bottles. The same size trailer loaded with preforms required to make 500 ml water bottles will carry approximately 1 ,000,000 individual preforms, a 10:1 improvement.
- the preforms may be passed through an oven in excess of 212°F (100°C) and immediately filled and capped. In this way, the opportunity for an empty container to be exposed to the environment where it might become contaminated is greatly reduced. As a result, the cost and complexity of aseptic filling may be greatly reduced.
- the package In some instances where products are hot filled, the package must be designed to accommodate the elevated temperature that it is exposed to during filling and the resultant internal vacuum it is exposed to as a result of the product cooling. A design that accommodates such conditions may require added container weight. Liquid/hydraulic blow molding offers the potential of eliminating the hot fill process and as a result, lowering the package weight. [0039] The process described herein may eliminate intermediary work in process and therefore may avoid the cost associated with warehousing and/or container silos and/or forklifts and/or product damage, etc. In addition, without work in process inventory, the overall working capital may be reduced.
- blowing and filling are integrated closer but remain as two separate processes (such as conventional methods of forming and subsequently filling)
- the overall efficiency of such a system is the product of the individual efficiencies of the two parts.
- the individual efficiencies may be driven largely by the number of transitions as parts move through the machines. Integrating the two processes into one may provide the opportunity to minimize the number of transitions and therefore increase the overall process efficiency.
- Many beverages, including juices, teas, beer, etc. are sensitive to oxygen and need to be protected when packaged. Many plastics do not have sufficient barrier characteristics to protect the contents from oxygen during the life of the packaged product. There are a number of techniques used to impart additional barrier properties to the container to slow down oxygen transmission and therefore protect the packaged contents.
- an oxygen scavenger in the container wall.
- Such a scavenger may be molded directly into the preform.
- the relatively thick wall of the preform protects the scavenger from being consumed prior to blowing it into a container.
- the surface area of the wall increases and the thickness decreases.
- the path that the oxygen has to travel to contact and react with the active scavenging material is much shorter.
- Significant consumption of oxygen scavengers may begin as soon as the container is blown. If the container is formed and filled at the same time, then the scavenger is protecting the product through its entire useful life and not being consumed while the container sits empty waiting to be filled.
- the method described herein may be particularly useful for filling applications such as isotonic, juice, tea and other commodities that are susceptible to biological contamination.
- an aseptic preform and resulting container can be created without requiring the end liquid to be the sterilizing medium.
- These commodities are typically filled in a controlled, sterile environment.
- two ways are typically used to achieve the required sterile environment.
- one primary method for filling these types of beverages is in an aseptic filling environment. The filling operation is performed in a clean room. All of the components of the product including the packaging must be sterilized prior to filling. Once filled, the product may be sealed until it is consumed preventing any potential for the introduction of bacteria.
- the concurrent blowing and filling process described herein can also facilitate the formation of a super-lightweight container.
- the container usually needed to have a suitable wall thickness to accommodate vacuum pressures.
- the resultant wall thickness can be much thinner relative to a traditional hot-filled container.
- the liquid itself can give structural support to the container.
- the walls of a super-lightweight container can therefore be extremely flexible.
- liquid commodity L used herein can also include non-consumable goods such as household cleaners, detergents, personal care items such as toothpaste, etc.
