The invention relates to a transfer device for a hollow article comprising a conveyor wheel, transfer arms mounted moveably on the conveyor wheel, and at least one static cam. The at least one static cam comprising at least one cam path that cooperates with cam followers carried by the transfer arms to control the position thereof. The wheel carries at least one cleaning tool for a related cam path, and the cleaning tool is mounted movably and pressed against the cam path with sufficient force to enable the automatic cleaning of the cam path as the conveyor wheel rotates.

Device for transferring hollow bodies, equipped with a cleaning tool

A plant () for manufacturing containers () from thermoplastic preforms (), the plant () including at least:&#x2014;a first unit () for thermally conditioning the preforms () which includes a first vertical lateral face (F); and&#x2014;a second unit () for shaping the containers () from the preforms () which have been thermally conditioned in the first unit (), the second unit including a second vertical lateral face (F); characterized in that the plant () includes at least one robot () which faces the first vertical lateral face (F) and the second vertical lateral face (F) in order to selectively operate through the first vertical lateral face (F) and/or through the second vertical lateral face (F) to carry out operations on the first unit () and/or the second unit ().
