Abstract: A method for simultaneously forming and filling a container by injecting a pressurized liquid in a preform. The method includes placing the preform in a mold and injecting the pressurized liquid into the preform such that the liquid expands the preform and urges the wall of the preform against the wall of the molding cavity forming the preform into a container and the container is filled with liquid. A swirl imparting element extends in the injection flow and imparts a swirl flow on the pressurized liquid such that the pressurized liquid applies a centrifugal force on the wall of the preform during forming and filling of the preform, thereby promoting a radial expansion of the preform in radial planes substantially perpendicular to the preform axis.

Abstract: The present application relates to a system and method for forming sleeved containers. The method comprises conveying a row of containers, arranging sleeves around the containers being conveyed, attaching the sleeve to the container being conveyed by heat shrinking, removing a part of the sleeve, the removing comprising at least partially laser cutting a part out of the sleeve thereby causing the creation of a fume region containing fumes of sleeve material evaporated by the laser cutting and blowing air along the wall of the container, wherein the flow of air is directed towards the fume region to force the fumes to move away from the container.
