Abstract
In an integrated system, plastic articles are produced in a pressure-molding machine and transferred therefrom to pallets at a receiving station. These pallets are entrained by a first branch of a conveyor which carries them through a temperature-conditioning station to an aftertreatment station in which a finishing operation such as blow-molding is performed upon the articles by a mold with which each pallet is temporarily consolidated. The pallets subsequently carry the finished articles to a discharge station and, upon their removal, are returned empty by a second conveyor branch to the receiving station.
