A method and apparatus for post-mold cooling a molded article

摘要

A method for post-mold cooling a molded article (2). The method comprises minimizing a temperature differential in the molded article (2) at a transition between a first portion (2') of the molded article (2) arranged in a holder (50) of a post-mold device (15) and a second portion (2") of the molded article (2) that is outside of the holder (50) by controlling the temperature of the holder (50). The controlling of the temperature of the holder (50) includes selecting the temperature of the holder (50) to be between 35°C and 65°C.
