Provided is a thermal conditioning method of preforms. The method includes heating each preform by transport along a heating path exposed to heating radiation with a determined production rate; transporting the preforms (in line along a diffusion path; transforming the preforms in forming units at the determined production rate. The diffusion path includes a final buffer section along which the preforms travel for an adjustable duration.

Method for thermally conditioning preforms

A device for ejecting products in a unit for processing products, a flow of the products moving one behind the other along a circulation trajectory. The device having an ejector for individually ejecting a product out of the circulation trajectory and a motor of the ejector. The ejector having at least one plate with a peripheral edge provided with at least one recess for receiving a single product and the motor having a rotation drive for the plate and a way for synchronizing the drive with the flow of the products. The invention relates also to an installation and an ejection method.

Method for thermal conditioning, within a thermal conditioning unit that is equipped with a row of adjacent emitters that each comprise a number of monochromatic electromagnetic-radiation sources, of a queue of preforms of containers having a head preform or a tail preform, with this method comprising the following operations: Periodically determining the position of the head preform, or, respectively, of the tail preform; As the queue of preforms moves along, gradually igniting the emitters that are located downstream and in the vicinity of the head preform or, respectively, gradually extinguishing the emitters that are located upstream and in the vicinity of the tail preform.

Method and unit for thermal conditioning, which comprises emitters with gradual ignition and extinguishment

A facility for the production of containers from blanks, which facility includes: a forming unit equipped with a rotating carrousel driven by a motor; a unit for heating blanks, equipped with infrared emitters and a power feed for each emitter; a control unit having in the memory a nominal speed setpoint &#x3c9;of the rotation of the carrousel and a nominal electrical power setpoint P. The control unit is programmed for: controlling the rotation of the carrousel according to the nominal speed setpoint &#x3c9;. During its acceleration: taking into account the real instantaneous speed &#x3c9; of rotation of the carrousel, and regulating the electrical power of the feed to an instantaneous value P such that: 

Facility and method for production of containers, making possible production immediately upon start-up

The present invention relates to a blow-molding installation for manufacturing thermoplastic hollow bodies by blow-molding or stretch-blow-molding containers () in a molding cavity of a mold, this blow-molding installation comprising a double-acting nozzle actuator () with two stages in series, equipped with two pistons (), these being an upper piston and a lower piston respectively, the nozzle () being fixed removably, and pneumatic control means being designed to make said pistons () slide according to a first operating mode used when the nozzle () is of the type that makes sealed contact with the mouth of the neck of the container, and a second operating mode used when the nozzle () is of the bell type with sealed contact against the surface of the mold in which the container () is placed.
