A method is provided of cleaning of a portion of a mold component, the portion of the mold component including a passage configured, in use, to allow passage of fluid and to prevent passage of melt, the method comprising: entering the mold component into a cleaning configuration, whereby a portion of the passage becomes part of a molding surface; performing a molding cycle to fill in at least the portion of the passage with molding material for incorporation and removal of a residue there from. Also provided is a mold having a first mold half and a second mold half, the halves being movable relative to each other. A mold shut height adjustment apparatus can provide for a change in the mold shut height.

1. A neck ring for defining at least a portion of a neck portion of a preform, the neck ring comprising: a molding surface defining a portion of a molding cavity for defining the at least a portion of the neck portion of the preform;a venting structure for evacuating the air, in use, from the moldin
1. A neck ring for defining at least a portion of a neck portion of a preform, the neck ring comprising: a molding surface defining a portion of a molding cavity for defining the at least a portion of the neck portion of the preform;a venting structure for evacuating the air, in use, from the molding cavity, the venting structure including:a primary vent area;a secondary vent area;a pocket groove in fluid communication with both the primary vent area and the secondary vent area;wherein with the neck ring in a standard molding configuration, the primary vent area is dimensioned for (i) allowing the passage of the evacuated air from the molding cavity into the pocket groove and (ii) not allowing any substantial amount of the molding material for passing therethrough;wherein with the neck ring in a vent cleaning configuration, the primary vent area is dimensioned for allowing the molding material for passing into it; andwherein in said vent cleaning configuration, the secondary vent area is dimensioned for (i) allowance of the passage of the evacuated air from the primary vent area and (ii) not allowing any substantial amount of the molding, material for passing therethrough. 2. The neck ring of claim 1, wherein the walls of the secondary vent area are flush with each other. 3. The neck ring of claim 1, wherein in said vent cleaning configuration, the primary vent area becomes part of the molding surface. 4. The neck ring of claim 1, wherein the primary vent area, the secondary vent area and the pocket groove are defined between a first body portion of the neck ring and a second body portion of the neck ring. 5. The neck ring of claim 1, in combination lock ring, wherein the primary vent area, the secondary vent area and the pocket groove are defined between the neck ring and the lock ring. 6. The neck ring of claim 1, wherein the primary vent area and the secondary vent area are dimensioned such that with the neck ring arranged in the vent cleaning configuration a width of the primary vent area is about 0.28 mm and a width of the secondary vent area is about 0.05 mm. 7. The neck ring of claim 1, further comprising a stop that is configured to provide a predefined point for a melt front to stop within the primary vent area with the neck ring in a vent cleaning configuration. 8. The neck ring of claim 7, wherein the stop comprises a physical stop. 9. The neck ring of claim 8, wherein the primary vent area, the secondary vent area and the pocket groove are defined between a first half of the neck ring and a second half of the neck ring and the physical stop comprises an apex point defined on the first half of the neck ring. 10. The neck ring of claim 9, wherein a portion of the secondary vent area is defined between the apex point and a recessed surface on the second half of the neck ring. 11. The neck ring of claim 7, wherein the stop is a thermal stop that is configured to control one or both of a temperature or rate of cooling fluid around the predefined point for the melt front stop to effectively freeze off the melt. 12. A neck ring for defining at least a portion of a neck portion of a preform, the neck ring comprising: a molding surface defining a portion of a molding cavity for defining at least a portion of the neck portion of the preform;a primary vent area extending from the molding surface, the primary vent area is constructed and arranged to provide a variable size; anda secondary vent area in fluid communication with the primary vent area, at least a portion of the secondary vent area is constructed and arranged to provide a generally constant size;wherein, with reconfiguration of the neck ring from a standard molding configuration to a vent cleaning configuration, a size of the primary vent area increases and a size of the portion of the secondary vent area remains generally constant such that molding material can flow into the primary vent area whereas molding material is substantially prevented from flowing into the secondary vent area. 13. The neck ring of claim 12, wherein, when the neck ring is in the standard molding configuration, the primary vent area and the portion of the secondary vent area are sized to provide a gap between about 0.03 mm and about 0.05 mm. 14. The neck ring of claim 12, wherein, when the neck ring is in the vent cleaning configuration, the primary vent area is sized to provide a gap of about 0.28 mm and the portion of the secondary vent area remains sized to provide a gap between about 0.03 mm and about 0.05 mm. 15. The neck ring of claim 12, wherein the neck ring comprises a first body portion and a second body portion, wherein each body portion comprises a first surface cooperating with each other to define the primary vent area, and wherein each body portion comprises a second surface cooperating with each other to define the portion of the secondary vent area. 16. The neck ring of claim 15, wherein the first and second surfaces are inclined to each other. 17. The neck ring of claim 16, wherein the first and second surfaces are perpendicular to each other. 18. The neck ring of claim 12, in combination with a lock ring, wherein the neck ring comprises a body portion having a first surface cooperating with a first surface of the lock ring to define the primary vent area, and wherein the body portion comprises a second surface cooperating with a second surface of the lock ring to define at least the portion of the secondary vent area. 19. The neck ring of claim 18, wherein the first and second surfaces are inclined to each other. 20. The neck ring of claim 19, wherein the first and second surfaces are perpendicular to each other. 21. The neck ring of claim 12, further comprising a pocket groove in fluid communication between and with the primary vent area and the portion of the secondary vent area. 22. The neck ring of claim 12, further comprising a stop disposed between the primary vent area and the portion of the secondary vent area.
