The blowing wheel and preferably the heating wheel as well as a large blow molding machine are rotatably supported in a centerfree peripheral bearing means. The heating and blow wheels are constructed as wheel rings to provide a profile free of distortion, wobbling motions or, respectively, peripheral vertical deviations of the wheels are thus prevented and the delivery of parisons of thermoplastic material for processing on the wheels takes place with high accuracy.

Blow molding machine

The invention relates to a control means for actuating the valves for supplying pressurized blowing fluid and working fluid to the blow mold stations of the blow wheel of a blow mold machine. The blow wheel comprises a center-free wheel ring of which the outer periphery is rotatably supported on a base. Facing the inner periphery of the wheel ring there is a stationary rail on which carriages are adjustably mounted. The carriages accommodate cams for actuating the plungers of the valves mounted on the wheel ring through a yoke which provides a self-holding action. Thus, adjusting of proper valve operation is facilitated while the operation of the blow molding machine is continued.
