A blow mould for producing plastic containers comprises at least two blow mould parts and a hollow space formed from the at least two blow mould parts at which plastic parisons are transformed by an application of a flowable medium to the plastic containers. The hollow space includes an interior wall that has a contour which produces a predetermined configuration of the plastic containers. A first portion of at least two blow mould parts produces a bottom of the plastic containers. A second portion of the at least two blow mould parts has an opening region for discharging a gaseous medium during an expansion process of the plastic containers. The opening region extends along a first line and a second line, wherein the first and second lines run at least in some sections of the blow mould at an angle different from 0&#xb0; relative to one another.

A plastics material container has an aperture area, a shoulder area adjoining the aperture area in a longitudinal direction of the plastics material container, a main body adjoining this shoulder area in the longitudinal direction of the plastics material container and a base area adjoining the main body in the longitudinal direction of the plastics material container. The shoulder area is widened in the longitudinal direction of the plastics material container from the aperture area in the direction of the main body, and a transition area is provided between the aperture area and the shoulder area. The transition area has a portion widening in the longitudinal direction of the plastics material container from the aperture in the direction of the shoulder area and having a straight course.

An apparatus for shaping plastics material pre-forms into plastics material containers with a blow mold which has at least two blow mold parts which are arranged so as to be movable with respect to each other on first and second blow mold carrier parts. A pressure pad arrangement is arranged between at least one blow mold carrier part and the blow mold part. The pressure pad arrangement is designed in such a way that the force acting between the blow mold carrier part and the blow mold part has a first force component which acts in a first pre-set region in the peripheral direction of the blow mold part and a second force component which acts in a second pre-set region in the peripheral direction of the blow mold part.

An apparatus for sorting piece goods may include a receiving surface which can rotate about a predefined rotation axis and is designed to receive the piece goods. The apparatus may include a first guide rail for guiding the piece goods, wherein this guide rail has a gap through which one region of the piece goods passes and by means of which another region of the piece goods is held. The apparatus may include a turning device which pivots the piece goods with respect to a longitudinal direction of the piece goods. The apparatus may include a separating device which separates out some of the sorted piece goods which are not guided in a predefined manner by the first guide rail or by the turning device. The turning device may be arranged upstream of the separating device in the movement direction of the piece goods.

Apparatus for sorting preforms

An apparatus for heating plastics-material performs includes a conveying device which conveys the plastics-material performs along a pre-determined conveying path. A heating device is arranged along this conveying path and which heats the plastics-material performs. The apparatus has at least one first contacting element arranged downstream with respect to the heating device for acting upon a wall of the plastic-material perform with a temperature profile varying in a peripheral direction and/or longitudinal direction of the plastics-material perform. The contacting element touches with a contact face a pre-determined region&#x2014; bounded in the peripheral direction and/or longitudinal direction of the plastics-material performs&#x2014; of a wall of the plastics-material perform in order to act upon this region with a temperature profile different from regions not touched by the contacting element. In addition, the apparatus has an advancing device which advances the contacting element to the plastics-material perform in a pre-determined direction.

Apparatus and process for tempering plastics-material preforms

An apparatus for heating at least one plastic preform for manufacturing containers may include a reflection body, a source of energy for emitting thermal radiation for heating the plastic preform, and a holding member for holding the plastic preform. The holding member may be moved relative to the reflection body, wherein the reflection body has a first surface allocated to the plastic preform and the source of energy is disposed in such a way that the radiation thereof reaches the reflection body. The reflection body may be constructed of at least two components, wherein a first component has the first surface which is at least partially transparent to the radiation emitted by the source of energy and which has a second structured surface on the side facing away from the first surface. At least a portion of the second component is capable of reflecting the radiation, and this second component abuts against the first component at least in sections.

The invention relates to an apparatus and method for sorting piece goods. The apparatus comprises a sorting arrangement which comprises two rollers arranged parallel to one another, wherein these rollers can rotate about their longitudinal direction and wherein the rollers are configured in such a way that the piece goods are transported along the rollers, and comprising a transport device which conveys the piece goods in the direction of the sorting arrangement. According to certain embodiments, arranged above the transport device are displacement devices which make contact with the piece goods at least temporarily and displace said piece goods relative to the transport device.

A container made from plastic for holding beverages. The container comprises a mouth, a wall section which adjoins the mouth in a longitudinal direction (L) of the container, and a base section which is designed as a standing face. The wall section merges into the base section. The container is formed in one piece. The base section has an injection point located in the interior in a radial direction (R) with respect to the longitudinal direction (L), and a central region which surrounds this injection point, and also a transition section which extends from the central region to the wall section. The transition section has a curvature with a finite radius of curvature in at least one and preferably in every radial direction (R) of the container in every geometric sub-section.
