- the present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a glass container for storing, for example, pharmaceuticals, foods or cosmetic products such as ampoules and tube bottles.
- Glass containers such as tube bottles, vials, ampoules, and syringes that contain pharmaceuticals, foods, cosmetics, etc. are often manufactured by molding glass tubes while heating.
- a typical forming method there is a vertical forming method.
- a glass tube having a constant diameter and open at both ends is set up vertically, and a lower end portion serving as a mouth is heated and softened to be processed into a desired shape, and then the glass tube is formed. Is cut into a desired length, and then the bottom of the glass container is formed to produce the intended glass container.
- the remaining cut glass tube is shortened by the amount of one glass container manufactured, and the glass container can be mass-produced by repeating the above operation.
- This method is automatically performed using a machine, and a vertical molding machine is usually used.
- the alkaline component is eluted from the glass surface inside the glass container and the medicine or the like is contaminated, for example, the pH value is increased.
- the alkali component eluted from the glass surface reacts with the content liquid to generate a precipitate, which causes a problem that the quality of the content liquid is impaired.
- elution components such as alkali components are eluted from the glass surface by reaction with the liquid during the heat sterilization process after filling the manufactured glass containers, for example, with chemicals, etc. It would be desirable to provide a glass container that does not or does not elute very little. Moreover, it is required that the process of manufacturing the glass container from the glass tube is not complicated by performing a special process such as a coating process or a sulfur process as in the conventional method. Moreover, in order to remove blooms such as sodium sulfate from the glass container after production in the dealkalization process, it is also required that the step of washing the glass container before filling with the pharmaceutical agent does not become heavy.

- the lower end of the vertically standing glass tube is softened by heating, for example, with a gas burner, etc., and when it is molded into a desired shape, the glass quality changes due to the heating, and the volatile component of the glass (for example, Na 2 O, K 2 O) is generated, and when the space between the open lower end and the upper end of the glass tube rises due to the chimney effect, these volatile components adhere to the inner surface of the glass tube to As a result, it was found that the adhered alkali component was eluted from the glass surface after the glass container was manufactured.
- the volatile component of the glass for example, Na 2 O, K 2 O
- the present inventors obtained a glass container from the glass tube by the vertical molding method, and then washed the inner surface of the glass container with a cleaning liquid before performing a strain removal operation for removing distortion due to thermal history.
- the inventors have found that a glass container in which elution of alkali components from the glass surface on the inner surface is extremely small can be produced.
- the inventors have found that the conductivity of the content liquid stored in the glass container is extremely low.

- heating means For example, a gas burner with a temperature of about 1500 to 1800 ° C. Heat to form into the desired tube bottle shape, then cut the molded product and the glass tube extending above the remainder under heat and form the glass bottle and bottom. Next, the lower end of the cut glass tube is shaped so that the cross section becomes the original perfect circle.
- the temperature of the glass container after forming is usually about 300 to 400 ° C.
- the glass container can be mass-produced.
- the vitreous quality is changed by heating, and volatile components of the glass (for example, Na 2 O, K 2 O) are placed in the chimney between the open lower end and the upper end of the glass tube. It is thought that it rises by the effect and adheres to the inner surface of the glass tube to form an alkaline elution component.
- the present invention removes or reduces alkaline eluent components adhering to the inner surface of the glass tube by passing through a glass container cleaning step, which will be described in detail below, after the manufacturing process of the glass container.
