There is provided a parison guide which improves a flatness of parison with a simple configuration. A parison guide () guides a parison (P) which has an arc shape in horizontal cross section and is discharged from an extrusion apparatus (). The parison guide is fixed to a discharge-side end portion of the extrusion apparatus (). The parison guide includes a contact face () configured to come into contact with and guide an edge portion of the parison to flatten the parison. Preferably, the contact face () includes a curved surface, and the contact face () has a curvature of a horizontal cross section which gets smaller in a discharge direction.

Parison guide

Provided is a swing-driving device for driving two low molding units so as to swing around corresponding swinging fulcrums, each of the blow molding units having a carriage, one end portion of which is supported by the swinging fulcrum so as to swing, and a blow molding mold disposed on the carriage. The blow molding mold of one blow molding unit receives a parison on a common receiving position and is made to be an mold close state. The blow molding mold swings around a swinging fulcrum, and moves from the receiving position to a shunting position via a detaching position. Thereafter, the blow molding mold returns to the detaching position and is made to be a mold open state. A hollow article formed by blow-molding the parison in the blow molding mold is take out and moved to the receiving position kept in the mold open state. The other blow molding unit swings from another shunting position to another detaching position similarly to the case of said one blow molding unit, immediately after one blow molding unit has moved to the shunting position.

Apparatus for forming hollow article

The present invention provides a laminated-parison extrusion-molding apparatus which includes a head body; a multi-ring structure having a spider provided in the head body; a head core provided inside the multi-ring structure; an outer cylinder member provided surrounding a lower outer periphery of the multi-ring structure, the outer cylinder member constituting a lower portion of the head body; and an annular member provided inside the outer cylinder member, wherein an outer main material is supplied to a flow passage provided between the outer cylinder member and the annular member so as to achieve an outer main material layer having a uniform thickness.

Method for extrusion-molding laminated parison and apparatus for the same

An extrusion molding apparatus includes a die head with first, second, third and fourth annular nozzles. An adhesive extruder is connected to the first and third nozzles, a barrier extruder is connected to the second nozzle and a reclaimed material extruder is connected to the fourth nozzle. Inner and outer main material flow passages are connected to a main material extruder, as well. The annular nozzles and the main material flow passages are connected to an extrusion nozzle for forming a parison. The barrier material extruder has a cylinder which is connected to the second nozzle. A screw lies within the cylinder. The second nozzle has a ridge opposite an end of the screw, for dividing the extruded barrier flow material, mitigating stagnation of the barrier material as it passes through the second nozzle. A method of forming a parison is described, as well.

Method of and apparatus for extrusion-molding a laminated parison, and a

A parison molding method and its apparatus in which at least two kinds of materials are used, and the layer formation and dispersion are uniform in the weld part and in the circumferential direction. In the parison molding method and its apparatus, molten resin at a weld part within a parison head is discharged out of the parison head by way of a flow control valve.

Parison forming method and apparatus therefor

A multilayer parison extruder includes a cylinder; an annular piston movably fitted in the cylinder; a material accumulation chamber in which the piston is moved; a material conduction chamber communicating with the accumulation chamber; an annular multilayer head provided in the conduction chamber; and a die slot provided under the conduction chamber. The extruder further includes a main material extruder for supplying a main material to the accumulation chamber; and auxiliary material extruders for supplying the auxiliary materials to the multilayer head. The extruder is characterized in that pairs of opposed feed ports are provided in the multilayer head and communicate with the auxiliary material extruders. At least one pair of the inlet ports is provided for each of a pair of arc-shaped passages which are for the auxiliary materials. The arc-shaped passages are connected to the feed ports so that each of the arc-shaped passages extends in opposite directions by nearly equal distances from the corresponding feed ports along the circumference of the multilayer head.

Multilayer parison extruder

An extruder for extruding a multilayer parison and a method for doing the same. The extruder includes a cylinder having a cylindrical hole and a die slit which extrudes a parison, a ring piston movably fitted in the cylindrical hole, a multilayer head provided between the die slit and the ring piston, and a plurality of annular nozzles concentrically provided in the multilayer head, the annular nozzles facing and being opened to the side of the die slit. The extruder further includes a plurality of flow passages through which material flows, the flow passages communicating with annular nozzles and being circumferentially spaced from one another at equal intervals, control valves for controlling the flow rate of the material passing through the flow passages, each of control valves being connected to the corresponding flow passages, driving member respectively connected to the control valves for driving the control valves, pressure gauges for detecting the pressure of material passing through the flow passages, and control member for inputting each detecting signal from the corresponding pressure gauge and outputting each driving signal to the corresponding driving member in order to apply a constant flow pressure or to apply a predetermined proportional flow pressure.
