Abstract

A method and apparatus for monitoring the production of blow molded plastic containers is disclosed, wherein the method and apparatus utilize a sound detector assembly adapted to be positioned adjacent a mold cavity during the introduction of pressure fluid to a preform in the mold cavity to form a container, the sound detector assembly including a reflector having a substantially conic cross-sectional shape and a sound detector and being responsive to a defect sound of the pressure fluid escaping from the interior of the container for generating an output signal.
