The invention concerns a device, an installation and a method for conveying a hollow body secured to a transport device, comprising a step of injection of a disinfecting fluid through at least one bore designed to pass through said transport device and opening into the inner volume of the hollow body secured to said transport device.

Device for transporting a hollow body, installation provided with such devices, and method for conveying a hollow body attached to such a device

The invention concerns decontamination of the neck of thermoplastic performs () designed for making containers through a blow forming or extrusion blow molding process, when feeding (in A) the performs () sequentially into a unit (B) for manufacturing containers, which consists in passing the neck of the performs () through a mist (in) of a decontaminating product, then in subjecting the neck of the performs () wetted by the decontaminating products to the action of an ultraviolet radiation (in) for a least a predetermined minimum time interval.

Method and installation for decontaminating preform necks

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.

Installation for blow-molding hollow bodies

The inventive carousel-type rotating machine includes a rotating frame bearing several work stations, a power and fluid supply rotating column which is coaxial to the axis of the rotating frame and incorporates a rotatable electric collector connected to a fixed power source for supplying power to the work stations and a rotatable fluid connection connected to a fixed fluid source for supplying fluid to the work stations, wherein the rotatable fluid connection is disposed on the top of the rotating column above the rotatable electric collector, thereby having the reduced diameter of the part thereof rotatable at reduced linear speeds between the fixed and rotatable parts thereof.

Rotating machine with rotating column for electricity and fluid supply

A blow molding system for a thermoplastic blank which is supported in a mold. The system includes a fixed tubular body connected to a high-pressure fluid source and, at the lower end thereof, supporting moveable equipment consisting of a tuyere, the tuyere being defined laterally by a terminal sleeve of the moveable equipment and the bottom thereof being the front wall of the body, wherein the lateral inner wall of the sleeve is configured in such a way that the pressure of a fluid inside the tuyere does not result in a reaction force component on the lateral wall, which is directed opposite to the wall of the mold.

Blow molding system for the manufacture of thermoplastic receptacles

An arrangement for removeably fixing a stretching rod () on a movable slide by an attachment device including a casing () and a bearing element () clamped onto the rod (), characterized in that the top end section of the bearing element () is formed by at least two radial lugs () of rounded profile, in transverse section, which form a top transverse bearing surface (), and in that the transverse profile formed by the peripheral edge () of the top opening () of the casing () substantially matches the profile of the lugs ().

Arrangement for removeably fixing a stretching rod on a slide

A molding device for blow molding recipients made of a thermoplastic material, including a mold having two mold halves which are movable with respect to each other and provided with a locking device extending along the total height of the mold halves and including two respective hooks, which are oriented toward each other, two respective recesses adjacent to the hooks and a rotatable gib adjacent to the hook and interacting with the other hook in such a way that the two mold-halves are locked in the closed position thereof or are released from each other, the gib being inserted into the recess.

Molding device for producing thermoplastic containers

A device for injecting a product towards a predetermined site of objects continuously moving along a given path while being spaced apart from one another by a specific step. The device ( ) includes a series of injectors ( ) borne by a mobile support ( ) while being spaced apart on the support by a pitch corresponding to that of the objects, and the support ( ) is driven in a reciprocating movement such that, during a forward phase of the movement, the injectors ( ) move each opposite the predetermined site of one of the objects, and in the time interval of the reciprocating movement of the support is equal to the time interval between the passage of two consecutive objects in front of a common fixed point, multiplied by the number of injectors on the support.

Device for injecting a product at a predetermined location of a moving object

In a system for manufacturing containers by blow-molding or drawing/blow molding of previously heated preforms, sterile containers ( ) are obtained by wetting ( ) the preforms ( ) using an appropriated heat-activated sterilizing product by activating the product by heating means ( ) which also provide a suitable heating profile to the preforms to prepare them for blowing.

Method for making sterilized plastic containers, and installation therefor

An installation for the packaging of a product in containers closed with a stopper, including in particular a filling machine ( ), a stopping machine ( ) and, upstream of this, a device ( ) for the dynamic storage of stoppers suitable to drive the stoppers continuously and with a pre-specified pitch, the number of stoppers present simultaneously in the device ( ) being at least equal to that of the containers present in a pre-specified part ( ) of the installation, means ( ) for the control of the supply of stoppers being provided upstream of the device ( ) to control a device ( ) for supplying containers located upstream of the pre-specified part ( ); thus, for every container engaged in the pre-specified part ( ) corresponds a stopper present in the device ( ) supplying the stopping machine ( ) and, in the event of an incident in the supply of stoppers upstream of the device ( ), the supply of containers from the pre-specified part ( ) is controlled ( ) while maintaining the operation of the terminal part of the installation at least until the incident is over.
