Method of manufacturing a liquid cooled blow molded article

摘要

A method of blow molding a plastic article. A plastic article is blow molded within a mold. The article has plastic parison a wall. The wall is pierced by a first and a second needle or blowing pin. The wall forms a fluid-tight connection between the first needle and the parison wall. A volume of cooling liquid is injected into the article through the first needle. The cooling liquid cools the interior wall. Gas is vented from within the article through the second needle while the cooling liquid is injected into the article. The cooling liquid is evacuated through the first needle after the interior wall is cooled sufficiently to be removed from the mold.
