<p>The apparatus for making tubular plastic containers from three main components - a flexible body, a rigid base and a neck - consists of a mandrel (5) with fixing units for the base and neck. It has a supporting rod (9) with a base retainer (11) on its free end (10) and a sliding outer sleeve (12). The free end (13) of the sleeve lies in the same direction as that of the rod; it is powered by a linear drive leaving a gap (14) between it and the rod, and has a gripper (15) with a threaded surface for the container neck and base, holding the two together and allowing them to be fixed to the tubular body in sequence.</p> |
