- the intermediate molded product 40 disposed in the final blow mold 130 is stretched in the vertical axis direction and the horizontal axis direction by the high-pressure air supplied to the interior, and the inner wall surface 135 of the final blow mold 131 is drawn.
- the large container 10 as the final molded product is molded (see FIG. 1).
- the final blow mold 130 is preheated to a predetermined temperature, for example, 80 ° C. to 110 ° C., and the intermediate molded product 40 is heat set at this temperature for a predetermined time, for example, 25 s to 30 s.
- the large container 10 is formed.
- a large container made of PET resin By manufacturing a large container made of PET resin by the method described above, a large container having excellent heat resistance and increased transparency can be realized.
- crystallization of the PET resin is promoted, and when the primary molded product is contracted by the heat treatment process to form an intermediate molded product, the residual strain is removed.
- the heat resistance of the large container which is a molded product can be improved.
- the stretch ratio of the preform in the primary blow molding process can be kept small, and the stretched crystal whitening of the PET resin that occurs at that time is suppressed. can do.
- the longitudinal length of the preform is longer than that of the large container, the weight of the preform can be significantly increased and the rigidity of the large container can be increased.
- the intermediate molded product 40 is heat set not only in the intermediate molding process but also in the final molding process, the rigidity of the large container 10 that is the final molded product can be improved more reliably. it can.
- the large container 10 that has excellent heat resistance and excellent transparency.
- heat resistance can be greatly improved as compared with a conventional large container formed by single blow molding, and transparency equal to or higher than that of a conventional large container can be obtained.
- the large container 10 does not deform (shrink) even if it is washed with alkaline hot water at 60 ° C. to 70 ° C. a plurality of times (about 20 times), and cracks can be substantially prevented. Therefore, for example, it can be suitably used for applications that require hot water cleaning, such as mineral water refillable bottles.
- the primary blow molded product is formed and the intermediate molding process using the primary blow molded product as the intermediate molded product includes the primary blow molding process and the heat treatment process
- the molding process is not limited to this.
- the primary blow molding process and the heat treatment process may be performed substantially simultaneously.
- a preform is placed inside the above-described heat treatment blow molding die 120 and the like, and the preform is blow-molded in this heat treatment blow molding die heated to a predetermined temperature in advance to form a primary blow molded product.
- the primary blow-molded product may be heat-treated (heat set) by contacting the inner wall surface of the heat treatment blow mold. Even in this case, after that, the gas in the primary blow-molded product is discharged and the primary blow-molded product is taken out from the heat-treated blow mold, so that the primary blow-molded product contracts to become an intermediate molded product.
