Abstract
A method for producing a bottle-shaped container that is highly thermally resistant and shows an excellent shaping/shape-keeping property in a short period of time is provided. The method for producing the bottle-shaped container mainly made of polyethylene terephthalate comprises the steps of: first biaxially-oriented blow-molding a preform mainly made of polyethylene terephthalate in a first metal mold, to form a primary intermediate molded article; causing thermal contraction of the primary intermediate molded aritcle by heating the primary intermediate molded article, to form a secondary intermediate molded article; and second blow-molding the secondary intermediate molded article in a second metal mold, to form the bottle-shaped container, characterized in that in the second biaxially-oriented blow-molding step, fluid is blown into the secondary intermediate molded article to expand the secondary intermediate article, and then further fluid is blown into and circulated in the expanded article to cool the expanded article.
