Abstract

Dans un système de fabrication d'un récipient en résine (1), à chaque fois que 24 préformes (2) sont moulées par injection, une unité de régulation de température (61) d'un dispositif de régulation de température (6) est déplacée vers une position de réception de préforme (6A) et des préformes (2) sont acceptées dans 24 pots à température régulée (62) qui sont dans un état vide, parmi 72 pots à température régulée (62). Chaque fois que l'unité de régulation de température (61) revient à une position de retrait de préforme (6B), les préformes (2) sont retirées par un dispositif de transfert de préforme (7) à partir des 24 pots à température régulée (62) qui ont reçu les préformes (2), en premier lieu, parmi les 72 pots à température régulée (62), amenées dans un dispositif de moulage par soufflage-étirage (5) et soumises à un moulage par étirage-soufflage pour obtenir 24 récipients en résine (3). Ce système de fabrication (1) permet une régulation de la température des préformes de manière à obtenir un état de température optimal pour le moulage par soufflage sans devoir diminuer l'efficacité de production.
