<p>This disclosure relates to a process of reducing the creep characteristics of plastic containers, principally bottles, jugs or the like, by first providing a cartridge having upper and lower ends and a plurality of interconnected chambers, thereafter stacking containers atop each other in an upright position in each chamber, transferring the cartridge into a heat treatment bay, supporting the lowermost containers during the cartridge transfer, circulating hot air through and between the chambers for a predetermined period of time, removing the cartridge from the heat treatment bay, and thereafter closing the upper and lower ends of the cartridge whereby the same may be stored and/or transported for filling or similar processing.</p> |
