Yielding The second stage is yielding. With no increase in stress, the material “gives,” elongating easily. This is what happens in the blow mold when the primary or preblow air partially inflates the preform. The preform will continue to inflate until it reaches the NSR, the point after which higher stress is needed to achieve further elongation. The third stage is called strain hardening. Applied stress levels have to increase exponentially in order to force material to stretch further. This is the point in the blow process when high-pressure air enters the preform and forces it to stretch from a bubble to the blow cavity walls where it is rapidly cooled down.

Depending on preform thickness and equilibration time the sensor might report the same temperature for very different preform conditions. Since it is only monitoring one specific location, the reading will only change when the particular lamp or lamps that are affecting this spot are changed. This can lead to confusion and operators should take note which lamp is affecting the part of the preform that the sensor is monitoring. However, the reading is very useful in monitoring the process once it has been established and machines allow the setting of upper and lower tolerances and will alert operators to 4: Machine Details 53 deviations.

One issue I have had with semiautomatic machines is control of the oven speed. Especially with thick preforms it is important to be able to control oven speed precisely as there is only a small process window between bottles breaking (temperature too low)and preforms crystallizing (temperature too high). 1). Most machines are sold with at least one mold, a compressor, and possibly a small chiller. Quality varies between manufacturers and buyers should vet each supplier or go through a distributor to avoid disappointment.
