Abstract: A method comprises in sequence the steps of: dispensing a continuous polymeric extrudate in a molten state; separating from the continuous extrudate a dose substantially having the shape of a parallelepiped, the dose having a separation surface at which the dose has been separated from the continuous extrudate, the dose further having a face adjacent to the separation surface; conveying the dose towards a mould comprising a first mould part and a second mould part; shaping the dose in the mould by moving the first mould part and the second mould part one towards the other in a moulding direction arranged transversally to said face, thereby obtaining a dispensing part of a container. The dispensing part comprises: an edge zone suitable for being joined to a container body; a neck surrounding a passage through which a product contained in the container can be dispensed; a membrane which closes the passage, the passage being intended to be opened after the shaping step, so that said product can flow out.

Abstract: A method for producing an object made of a polymeric material, said polymeric material having a melting temperature (TF), comprises the steps of: melting the polymeric material; after the step of melting, cooling the polymeric material below the melting temperature (TF) in a cooling zone; severing a dose from a flow of polymeric material coming from the cooling zone by means of a severing element (5); obtaining said object by shaping the dose between a male forming element and a female forming element (10) which move towards one another with a mutual movement speed, the dose having a temperature lower than said melting temperature (TF). Between a start-of-forming configuration, in which the dose is in contact with both the male forming element and the female forming element (10), and a start-of-deceleration configuration, in which the male forming element and the female forming element (10) begin to decelerate relative to one another, the mutual movement speed is greater than 10 mm/s.

Abstract: A method comprises the following steps:
providing a pre-processed element made of at least one polymeric material,
introducing the pre-processed element in a female mould part having a forming cavity,
shaping the pre-processed element between the female mould part and a male mould part, the female mould part and the male mould part being movable relative to one another along a moulding direction so as to form a concave object from the pre-processed element.
The forming cavity has a transversal dimension measured transversely relative to the moulding direction, the forming cavity further having a transition zone in which the transversal dimension passes from a larger value to a smaller value, the forming cavity further having a bottom.
During the introducing step, the pre-processed element is placed on the transition zone, so that the pre-processed element rests on the transition zone at a distance from the bottom of the forming cavity.
