Rotary blow molding machine.

摘要

A rotary blow molding machine includes a base (12), a turntable (14) on the base (12) rotatable about a vertical axis and a number of mold units (20) spaced around the turntable (14). Each mold unit (20) includes a pair of mold halves (98) which close on and capture a growing vertical parison (154) at an extrusion station (22) and then fall away from the parison (154) as the parison is severed. The captured parison (154) is blow molded and cooled as the blow unit (158) is rotated around the turntable (14). The finished article, commonly a bottle, is ejected from between the mold halves (98) before the mold halves (98) return to the extrusion station (22).
