Container manufacturing apparatus
A container manufacturing device for performing manufacture of a pre-form and a container in a single station via one stop is provided. The container manufacturing device includes a pre-form molding module configured to form a shape of a pre-form of a container using a resin material, an injection module connected to the pre-form molding module and configured to supply the resin material to the pre-form molding module, a container molding module configured to inject air to the pre-form to expand the pre-form and to form the shape of the container and including a container mold, and a rotary table with a rib plate suspended thereon while rotating between the pre-form molding module and the container molding module, the pre-form or the container being mounted on the rib plate.
Method and system for forming a self-sealing volume with an aqueous polyurethane dispersion layer
A fabric coated or impregnated with an elastomeric material may include a polyurethane dispersion layer combined with a sealant. The fabric may be applied in such a fashion so as to enable the elimination of solvent or fluid that is associated with the elastomer. The polyurethane dispersion layer generally comprises an elastomeric material dispersed or dissolved in a liquid medium, such as, but not limited to, water. At the same time, the integrity of the elastomeric composite which is formed from the dispersion and sealant layers may be maintained in order to minimize the presence of air voids and pockets. It has thus been realized that in doing so the performance of the self-sealing volume is dramatically improved. This method of construction usually may be accomplished without significantly adding to the weight or thickness of the volume and without affecting the outer dimension of the self-sealing volume.
PLASTIC TANK AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING A PLASTIC TANK
A tank that includes a tank wall composed of a plastic material, and at least one reinforcing profile member configured to minimize deformation of the plastic tank. The at least one reinforcing profile member is configured for arrangement on an outer side of the tank wall to be engaged by the tank wall and establish a positive material bond connection therewith. The at least one reinforcing profile member has a retaining geometry region with a plurality of openings through and/or into which material of the tank wall extends and onto a rear side of the reinforcing profile member facing away from the tank wall to thereby establish the positive material bond connection between the tank wall and the at least one reinforcing profile member at the retaining geometry region.
