Gerald Zboch - Barrington IL
Robert G. Di Canio - Naperville IL
Robert C. Boynton - Grayslake IL
Jennifer Macritchie - Winnetka IL
David P. Piccioli - Auburn NH
Suppayan M. Krishnakumar - Nashua NH

Method Of Forming Container With High-Crystallinity Sidewall And Low-Crystallinity Base

View page
US Patent:
6372318, Apr 16, 2002
Filed:
Oct 30, 1998
Appl. No.:
09/183702
Inventors:
Wayne N. Collette - Merrimack NH
Suppayan M. Krishnakumar - Nashua NH
Chi Ching Lin - Hsien, TW
Assignee:
Continental Pet Technologies, Inc. - Florence KY
International Classification:
B65D 102
US Classification:
428 357, 428 366, 428 367, 428 369, 428 3692, 428910, 215375, 220606, 220609
Abstract:
A method of making a polyester container having an enhanced level of crystallinity in the sidewall while maintaining a low level of crystallinity in a thickened base portion. The container is particularly useful as a refillable container which can withstand higher caustic wash temperatures and exhibits reduced flavor carryover, or as a hot-fill container. According to the method, a sidewall-forming section of a preform is initially expanded, heated to contract and crystallize the same, and than reexpanded; a base-forming portion of the preform is shielded from the heat treatment and is expanded either before or after the heat treatment step.

Sleeve Molding

US Patent:
6428737, Aug 6, 2002
Filed:
Mar 17, 1998
Appl. No.:
08/981467
Inventors:
Wayne N. Collette - Merrimack NH
Suppayan M. Krishnakumar - Nashua NH
Assignee:
Continental PET Technologies, Inc. - Toledo OH
International Classification:
B29C 4514
US Classification:
264513, 264537, 264255, 2643288, 264904, 425130, 425534
Abstract:
Method and apparatus for making multilayer injection molded plastic articles. In one embodiment, a relatively thin inner sleeve layer is molded in a first mold cavity on a core, the first mold cavity being heated to maintain an outer surface of the inner sleeve layer at an elevated temperature, and the core and sleeve layer are transferred to a second mold cavity to mold a relatively thick outer layer over the sleeve layer while the outer surface is at the elevated temperature, where the elevated temperature is selected to provide melt adhesion between the inner sleeve and the outer layer during the second molding step. In another embodiment, a method of injection molding is provided in which a first thermoplastic material is used to form a first preform portion having an average percent crystallinity of at least about 30%, and a second thermoplastic material is injection molded to form a second preform portion which remains substantially amorphous.

Multilayer Container Resistant To Elevated Temperatures And Pressures, And Method Of Making The Same

View page
US Patent:
6548133, Apr 15, 2003
Filed:
May 5, 1998
Appl. No.:
09/072886
Inventors:
Steven L. Schmidt - Bedford NH
Suppayan M. Krishnakumar - Nashua NH
Wayne N. Collette - Merrimack NH
Assignee:
Continental PET Technologies, Inc. - Florence KY
International Classification:
B29C 4906
US Classification:
428 357, 428 3691, 4285248, 264513, 215374, 215375, 215 122
Abstract:
A multilayer plastic container having enhanced strength for high temperature and pressure applications such as the pasteurization of carbonated juice drinks. The container is commercially cost-effective in comparison to prior art pasteurizable glass containers, and provides all of the advantages of plastic over glass, i. e. , lightweight, shatter-resistant, etc. In a particular embodiment, the multilayer container includes inner and outer layers of a relatively high IV virgin PET, e. g. , 0. 85-0. 90 dl/g, and a core layer of post-consumer PET having a substantially lower IV. The container has a relatively tall and slender profile, with high orientation levels in the panel and shoulder, and an oriented thick-walled base with feet. The base preferably has a high profile and angled foot pads which are allowed to move outwardly under creep. According to a method of making a multilayer preform for such container, an enhanced injection rate and mold pressure are utilized to enhance interlayer bonding and prevent separation of the layers in spite of their substantial differences in IV.

Preform And Container With Crystallized Neck Finish And Method Of Making The Same

US Patent:
6572812, Jun 3, 2003
Filed:
Mar 1, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/797502
Inventors:
Wayne N. Collette - Merrimack NH
Suppayan M. Krishnakumar - Nashua NH
Assignee:
Continental PET Technologies, Inc. - Florence KY
International Classification:
B29C 4516
US Classification:
264513, 264255, 264265, 264537, 2642978, 2643288, 26432816, 264908, 2643282
Abstract:
A preform and container each having a crystallized neck finish and method of making the same, wherein the method involves introducing a first thermoplastic material into a first mold section to form a substantially crystallized neck portion of a preform, and introducing a second thermoplastic material into a second mold section to form a substantially amorphous body-forming portion of a preform. The first material may have a substantially higher crystallization rate than the second material, and/or the first mold section may be at a higher temperature than the second mold section. In one embodiment, an indexer carrying two core sets is movable between first and second cavity sets for sequentially molding the neck portions on the first core set in the first cavity set, and then transferring the cores and neck portions to the second cavity set for molding the body-forming portions. The method enables cost-effective manufacture of preforms with crystallized neck finishes and enables production of a thermal resistant finish within a close dimensional tolerance.

US Patent:
6787094, Sep 7, 2004
Filed:
Aug 2, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/209896
Inventors:
Wayne N. Collette - Merrimack NH
Suppayan M. Krishnakumar - Nashua NH
Assignee:
Continental PET Technologies, Inc. - Toledo OH
International Classification:
B29C 4514
US Classification:
264513, 264537, 264255, 2643288, 26432816, 264904
Abstract:
Sleeve molding apparatus and methods for making multi-layer injection molded plastic articles in successive mold cavities. In a first molding step, an inner sleeve is molded on a core in a first mold cavity, which may comprise a full body length sleeve or only a partial sleeve, such as an upper neck finish portion. The sleeve and core are withdrawn from the first mold cavity while the sleeve is still warm, and transferred without substantial delay to a second mold cavity for injection molding an outer layer which bonds to the inner sleeve. By transferring the sleeve at an elevated temperature into the second mold cavity, an improved bond is formed between the inner sleeve and outer layer which resists separation during a later reheat stretch blow molding step, and/or in use of the resulting article. In a preferred embodiment, a pasteurizable beer container is provided having a finish-only sleeve of a PEN polymer. In a second embodiment, a returnable and refillable water container is provided having a full-length body sleeve of a PEN polymer.
