Disclosed is an apparatus for shaping plastic preforms into containers, having a transport device, which transports the plastic preforms to be shaped along a transport path, wherein the transport device has a rotatable transport carrier wherein a plurality of shaping stations are arranged. The shaping stations each have blow-molding devices which the preforms are shaped by applying a flowable medium. The shaping stations have application devices which apply the flowable medium to the preforms, wherein the shaping stations have stretching devices for stretching the preforms in a longitudinal direction. The stretching devices have at least one stretching rod which can be moved in the longitudinal direction of the preforms and can be inserted into the plastic preforms. The device has a clean room, which the plastic preforms are expanded into the plastic containers, and a sealing device to seal the clean room from a non-sterile environment, and closed with a cover device.

Apparatus and method for shaping plastic preforms into plastic containers, having a clean room with a removable cover apparatus

A system for producing filled plastic containers from sterilized plastic preforms, includes a transport device for transporting the plastic preforms and plastic containers produced from the plastic preforms by forming, along a predetermined transport path through the system, a forming apparatus for forming the sterilized plastic preforms into plastic containers, and a filling apparatus for filling the plastic containers during their at least sectional transport substantially along a circular line about a central axis of the filling apparatus. The forming apparatus and the filling apparatus have a maximum distance from one another in relation to their respective central axes

System and method for operating a system for producing filled plastic containers from sterile plastic preforms

An apparatus for producing plastic containers is provided, comprising a heating device that heats plastic preforms, and including a shaping device provided downstream of this heating device in the transport direction of the plastic preforms, which shaping device shapes the plastic preforms into the plastic containers, wherein a tempering device for tempering the plastic preforms heated by the heating device is provided in the transport direction of the plastic preforms between the heating device and the shaping device, which tempering device has at least one tempering unit provided on a carrier rotatable about a predetermined rotary axis, and which tempering unit has at least two contacting devices, between which at least one section of the plastic preform can be received, which contacting devices can be moved in relation to one another along a predetermined direction.

Apparatus and a method for producing oval plastic containers

An apparatus for molding plastic preforms into plastic containers, includes at least one blow molding station having a cavity, within which the plastic preforms can be expanded into the plastic containers, wherein the blow molding station includes a base part that delimits the cavity and wherein the base part is releasably mounted on a carrier by a fastening mechanism. The apparatus includes a force application member to which an engageable force can be applied and which generates in a fixed condition of the base part on the carrier a holding force that keeps the base part and the carrier together.

Rapid-assembly base mould with an engageable holding force assist

A gripping element for gripping plastic containers with mouths, and in particular performs, includes a carrier on which there is arranged a gripping head which can be introduced at least partially into a mouth of the plastic container. Arranged on the gripping head is at least one holding element which is at least partially movable in a radial direction in relation to the gripping head to secure the container relative to the gripping head.

Gripping element for gripping plastic containers

An apparatus for moulding plastic preforms into plastic containers may include at least one blow mould and a plurality of closure elements cooperating with one another in order to transfer the blow mould between an open condition and a closed condition, in which the blow mould forms a cavity, within which the plastic preforms may be expanded into plastic containers. The closure elements include at least one first mould section and one second mould section. The first mould section and the second mould section may be moved between the closed position and the open position in relation to one another. In a closed condition, the first and second mould sections are locked together. The closure elements may further include a bottom section which may be moved relative to the first and second mould sections in order to close the cavity in one direction. According to various aspects, the bottom section initiates the closing of the mould sections and/or the locking of the mould sections in a closed condition of the blow mould.
