A fluid supply apparatus for a blow mold, which includes a control valve having multiple positions for alternatively supplying fluid to the blow mold from a fluid supply and a metering chamber. The control valve has a further position configured to fill the metering chamber with fluid, and empty the blow mold chamber into an exhaust conduit. The apparatus is useful for performing pulse blow inflations at a high-strain rate in order to increase the crystallinity level in the body of a container.
