APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR THE MANUFACTURE OF A LARGE-SIZE CONTAINER
A method and relevant apparatus which involves manufacturing not an intermediate bottle but an intermediate preform, i.e. an intermediate preform having with a slight increase in diameter compared to the initial preform, without changing the dimensions in length thereof; said intermediate preform is then blown permanently to achieve the dimensional and geometric features of the final container. Said method is carried out in a single press which comprises two stages: the diameter of the preform is increased in the first stage, which is also called pre-blowing, and the final blowing is carried out in the second stage, which is also called blowing. Pre-blowing and blowing take place simultaneously and in the same press.
