Aconveyer for treating hollow bodies, comprising several identical treatment stations ( ) that process at least one hollow body, whereby the respective treatment station for a given treatment stage communicates with a pressure source via distribution means that include a tight revolving extention. The invention is characterized in that the machine includes at least two independent and equivalent pressure sources (A , A ) for the given treatment stage. The invention is also characterized in that it is divided up into the same number of treatment stations ( ) as the number of pressure sources existing for the machine and in that the distribution device ( ) are such that each pressure source (A , A ) is associated with a specific group.

An oven in a production facility for thermoplastic receptacles, including a conveyor chain which is provided with gripping devices ( ), whereby each gripping device engages axially with the neck of a receptacle blank in order to transport it into the oven. The gripping devices are displaced axially by a mechanism which is provided with an arm ( ) which can move along a path that is substantially parallel to the axial direction (A ) in which gripping takes place and which bears an interface element ( ) which is designed to come into contact with the gripping device ( ). The interface element ( ) is movably mounted on the arm ( ) to enable slip-free contact with the gripping device while it is immobilized in relation to the arm according to the axial direction in which gripping occurs.
