A system (1) for producing thermoplastic material bottles (5), the system (1) comprising in sequence: an extruder (10); a molding apparatus (20) for producing preforms; a thermal conditioning apparatus (30) for thermally conditioning the preforms; a blowing apparatus (40) for producing bottles (5) from the preforms; a pulsed light irradiation apparatus (50, 55, 60, 70); an aseptic filling and capping apparatus (80).

A method of making a container via a simultaneous filling and forming of the container with a liquid product is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of extruding a parison (12, 2), capturing a portion of the parison (12, 2) within a mold (15), and inflating the captured portion of the parison (12, 2) against the mold (15). The captured portion of the parison (12, 2) is inflated against the mold (15) by introducing the liquid product into an interior of the captured portion of the parison (12, 2), wherein the liquid product forms an end product to be sealed within the resultant container.

To suppress the degradation of sealing property of a pressure vessel and the deterioration of a sealing member, and to reduce the workload and cost of manufacture, a blow molding device includes a pair of molds configured to be clamped to sandwich a parison from both lateral sides, and a blow pin configured to form a neck portion together with the molds. The blow pin includes a blow pin body portion having an outer circumferential surface of a shape corresponding to an inner circumferential surface of the neck portion, and a ring portion forming an annular recess portion between the blow pin body portion and the ring portion to form an outer circumferential surface of a tip portion of the neck portion, which is a smooth surface without any parting line.

A method of manufacturing a container includes removing a section of the base web of the outer container so that a section of the base seam of the inner container is exposed to the exterior; raising the exposed section of the base seam into the outer container so that an opening is produced between the base seam of the inner bag and the outer container, introducing a pressure medium into the opening, whereby the inner bag detaches from the outer container on both sides, and supplying a pressure medium into the container opening so that the inner bag again engages the outer container.

A method for blow molding a plastic tank from thermoplastic material, wherein the plastic tank is provided with at least one connection element penetrating the wall of the plastic tank while the plastic tank is being shaped within a blow molding tool. The connection element is fitted onto a blowing needle of the blow molding tool and is positioned in the wall by punching in the blowing needle. Also disclosed is a blow molding tool for use in the method having a blowing needle formed to fit a connection element.
