A liquid blow molding method of molding a liquid container containing a content liquid from a preform, includes a nozzle engagement step of engaging a blow nozzle with a mouth portion of the preform; a molding step of molding the preform into a container of a predetermined shape by supplying a pressurized liquid into the preform; a suck-back step of sucking back a predetermined amount of liquid from the inside of the container to a supply channel by operating a pump in a reverse direction with the container put in the upside-down posture while the blow nozzle is engaged with the mouth portion; and a nozzle separation step of separating the blow nozzle from the mouth portion with the container put in the upright posture.

A method for producing filled containers (16) from preforms (13). Each of the preforms is transferred to a circulating molding and filling element (14) of a molding and filling station and is shaped into the respective container in a subsequent molding and filling process in a mold under the effect of pressure from a supplied filler, wherein the mold is designed in multiple parts, including a base mold (21) and mold sides (19, 20), and each container is clamped between the base mold at the bottom and the molding and filling element at the top at least at the end of the molding and filling process. The container is separated from the respective molding and filling element and the respective mold after the molding and filling process. The mold sides are removed from each container before the molding and filling element and the base mold are separated from the container.

The disclosure relates to processes for producing lightweight polyethylene terephthalate articles such as bottles that retain good batTier properties against the permeation of oxygen, carbon dioxide and/or water vapor. The use of relatively small amounts of polytrimethylene furandicm.Math.boxylate during the formation of the PET bottles can produce a bottle having the required barrier properties and result in the use of less material.

A nozzle alignment fixture suitable for use with a blow/fill/seal packaging machine in the form of an elongated block defining an aligned series of receptacles sized to receive and hold tips of fill nozzles of a blow/fill/seal packaging machine.

A method of manufacturing a flexible container (1) housing a drug substance, comprises: forming a first compartment (11) of the container (1) out of a flexible sheet-like material, filling a liquid (2) into the first compartment (11) of the container (1), sealing the first compartment (11), forming a second compartment (12) of the container (1) out of the flexible sheet-like material, filling a dry drug formulation (3) into the second compartment (12), and sealing the second compartment (12). The method further involves lyophilizing the drug formulation inside a tubular cartridge such that the dry drug formulation (3) is generated and held in the tubular cartridge, wherein filling the dry drug formulation (3) into the second compartment (12) comprises: introducing the tubular cartridge holding the dry drug formulation (3) through an opening of the second compartment (12) of the container (1) such that an open end of the tubular cartridge is positioned distant from the opening of the second compartment (12), providing the dry drug formulation (3) out of the open end of the tubular cartridge into the second compartment (12), and withdrawing the tubular cartridge out of the opening of the second compartment (12) of the container (1). The first compartment (11) is separated from the second compartment (12) by a frangible seal (14) which opens when the first compartment (11) is compressed.

A mold configuration for forming a pocket in a film comprising: a film support surface; a perimeter edge at said film support surface; wall surfaces inward of the perimeter edge defining a mold cavity; the wall surfaces including transition wall surfaces extending to a bottom wall surface; and a plateau surface inward of the perimeter edge. In one form, the perimeter edge includes sharp corner profile perimeter edge portions defining at least one sharp corner profile. A method of forming a pouch, includes using the disclosed mold configuration.

Only a bottle properly preliminarily heated is sterilized by hydrogen peroxide. Temperature inspection to the bottle is performed while travelling the bottle. During the inspection, a bottle of which temperature does not reach a predetermined temperature is removed and a bottle of which temperature reaches the predetermined temperature is continuously travelled, hydrogen peroxide condensed mist α is blown toward a mouth portion 1a of the bottle by a spray tube 59 disposed at a predetermined position, and hot air is blown into the bottle from the nozzle while the nozzle 64 following the mouth portion of the bottle. According to such operation, only the bottle properly heated can be sterilized by the hydrogen peroxide, Thereafter, beverage fills the bottle, which is then sealed.

Process for manufacturing a plurality of capsules containing a cosmetic product, the process including the following steps: —displacement of a support (32) through a first reservoir (44) containing a viscous material (52) designed to form the side wall, and coating of the support with a layer (56) of the viscous material; —displacement of the support through a shaping module (28) and solidification of the layer of material; —withdrawal of the support outside the shaping module, freeing an internal slot (74) defined by the layer of solidified material; —entry of at least one cosmetic product (11) from a second reservoir (80) into the internal slot; and —cut out the layer using a cutting device (68) to form the side walls of at least one capsule, and sealing of the internal spaces of capsules containing the cosmetic product by seals.

Disclosed is a method for filling cups in which: a cup is brought and held vertically with and opposite a distribution nozzle; next, the blocking rod is brought into the open position and the cup is filled with a product flowing through the distribution nozzle; when a preferred quantity of product is present in a cup, the blocking rod is brought into the closed position and a product flow is stopped; the blocking rod is brought into a contact position in which the blocking rod extends out of the distribution nozzle through the distribution opening such that a lower end of the blocking rod comes in the contact with the product upper-surface.

A blow molding apparatus including: a mold; a blow nozzle; a pressurized fluid supply unit; and a blow nozzle moving unit configured to cause a relative movement of the blow nozzle between a connected position and a standby position, wherein a preform is molded into a container by supplying a pressurized incompressible fluid into the preform. The blow molding apparatus includes: a drawing member including a drawing port; a drawing pump configured to be connected to the drawing member; and a drawing member moving unit configured to move the drawing member so that the drawing port is positioned below the blow nozzle, after the container has been molded and the blow nozzle has been moved from the connected position to the standby position.
