BLOW MOLDING APPARATUS AND BLOW MOLDING METHOD
First Claim
1. A blow molding apparatus that supplies a pressurized liquid into a bottomed tubular preform fitted to a mold used for blow molding and molds the preform into a shape conforming to a cavity of the mold, the blow molding apparatus comprising:
- a blow nozzle fitted to a mouth tubular portion of the preform;
a plunger pump configured to supply the pressurized liquid into the preform through the blow nozzle; and
a controller configured to change an actuation rate and an actuation force of the plunger pump during the supply of the pressurized liquid into the preform to regulate a peak pressure of the liquid supplied into the preform to be from 3.5 MPa to 5.0 MPa.

6. A blow molding method of supplying a pressurized liquid into a bottomed tubular preform fitted to a mold used for blow molding and molding the preform into a shape conforming to a cavity of the mold, the blow molding method comprising:
-
the liquid supply step of supplying a pressurized liquid into the preform through a blow nozzle fitted to a mouth tubular portion of the preform by using a plunger pump; and the peak pressure control step of changing an actuation rate and an actuation force of the plunger pump during the supply of the pressurized liquid into the preform to regulate a peak pressure of the liquid supplied into the preform to be from 3.5 MPa to 5.0 MPa. - View Dependent Claims (7)
