A method for the production of blow-molded containers that are sterile at least in certain regions, and a blow-molding machine configured to carry out the method. In accordance with the method, blowing stations are arranged on a rotating blowing wheel. A preform of a thermoplastic material is first heated and then stretched in a blowing station by a stretching rod and subjected to a pressurized blowing fluid via a blowing nozzle. A sterilizing fluid is supplied to the preform in the blowing station to perform a sterilization. The sterilizing fluid is fed into the preform from an outlet and is carried away again via an inlet and in between follows a flow path. The sterilizing fluid is made to pass through or pass by the stretching rod on its flow path, and the sterilizing fluid is supplied while the blow-molding machine continues to operate.

Method and blow-molding machine for the blow-molding production of containers that are sterile at least in certain regions

The invention relates to a method for producing containers () from preforms () made of thermoplastic material by means of a blow molding machine () comprising at least one temperature control device () and one forming device having at least two forming stations (), wherein the preforms () are temperature controlled by means of the temperature control device () on the basis of specifiable first control parameters, and wherein one temperature-controlled preform () is formed by means of one of the forming stations (), respectively, on the basis of specifiable second control parameters into a container (), wherein at least one of the second control parameters is individually specified for each of the forming stations (). The invention furthermore relates to a blow molding machine (), designed for executing the method according to the invention, for producing containers () from preforms () made of thermoplastic material.

Method and device for producing containers from thermoplastic material

A method and a device for producing blow-molded containers which are sterile at least in some areas. A preform made of a thermoplastic material is first heated in a heating device on a transport path through a blow-molding machine and then supplied with a pressurized fluid in a blow-molding station of the device. The preform is guided along a channel, which conducts a sterile gas, at least over one sub-section of the transport path of the preform. The transport path of the preform out of the channel is supplied with the sterile gas in order to produce a sterile gas corridor in which at least the opening region of the preform is guided. Multiple radiation sources are arranged along the channel and one behind the other in the transport direction. The radiation sources emit a sterilizing radiation onto the preform and/or onto the channel, and/or onto the sterile gas corridor.

Method and device for blow-molding containers which are sterile at least in some areas

A method and a device for producing blow-molded containers, which are sterile at least in some areas, in a blow-molding machine. A preform made of a thermoplastic material is first heated, then stretched by a stretching rod in a blowing station, and then supplied with a pressurized fluid via a blow nozzle, wherein a sterilization device is arranged in the blowing station. The sterilization device has at least one radiation source which emits a sterilizing radiation onto the stretching rod and/or onto the blow nozzle.

A machine for producing and filling containers, having: a heating device for thermal conditioning thermoplastic parisons; a blow-molding device for deforming the thermally conditioned parisons into containers by blow-molding or stretch blow-molding; a device for filling the containers with a product; and a transfer device for conveying the containers from the blow-molding device to the filling device. A nozzle arrangement is arranged in the region of the transfer device for impinging a cooling liquid on the containers. The nozzle arrangement has a gas nozzle connected by a gas line to a gas source. The nozzle arrangement has a liquid nozzle connected by a liquid line to a liquid source. The gas nozzle and the liquid nozzle are arranged and oriented relative to one another such that a liquid jet from the liquid nozzle strikes a gas jet from the gas nozzle in an intersection region.

Machine and method for producing and filling containers

The present invention relates to a method and device for sterilizing parisons made of a thermoplastic material that are intended for producing blow-molded containers. During the sterilizing process a sterilizing agent is introduced into an interior of the parison by an applicator. At least one gas is supplied to the applicator via at least one supply element, at least sections of which are arranged in a horizontal direction next to a transport path of the applicator. The supply element comprises at least one outlet opening facing towards the applicator. At least one pressure-applying element is arranged between the applicator and the supply element and is resiliently clamped between the applicator and the supply element.

Method and device for sterilising and device for blow-moulding containers

The method and the device according to the invention are used to sterilize preforms () made of a thermoplastic material that are intended for producing blow-molded containers. During the sterilization, a sterilizing agent is introduced into the area of the preform (). The sterilizing agent is discharged at least partially from at least one nozzle () in the direction of the preform (). An average direction () of the escape of the sterilizing agent from the nozzle () is provided with an angle of inclination () from a longitudinal axis () of the preform ().

Method and device for sterilizing preforms

Method and apparatus for sterilizing containers with a sterilization medium. The method involves first introducing a sterilization medium into a container, and then introducing a heated gaseous and/or vaporous activation medium into the container. The activation medium is used to heat and activate the sterilization medium to destroy microorganisms. The temperature of the heated gaseous and/or vaporous activation medium is controlled based on the detected temperature of the container or the wall of the container.

Method and apparatus for sterilizing containers with a sterilization medium. The method involves first introducing a sterilization medium into a container, and then introducing a heated gaseous and/or vaporous activation medium into the container. The activation medium is used to heat and activate the sterilization medium to destroy microorganisms. At least one parameter of the method is controlled based on the detected temperature of the container or the wall of the container. Alternatively, the heating and activating of the sterilization medium is achieved by first introducing an activation medium into the container under time control at a constant temperature and at a first, constant, volume flow, and then subsequently adjusting to a second, different, volume flow.

Procedure and apparatus for the treating containers such as plastic bottles in a bottle filling plant or containers in a container filling plant

A hydrogen peroxide (HO) supply arrangement which has a storage container for the HOand metering valves designed to meter doses of HOto a plurality of article sterilization devices. The HOsupply arrangement also has a line arrangement which connects the storage container to the metering valves. The line arrangement is designed so as to conduct HOto the metering valves, but also to cycle HOnot metered or dosed out by the metering valves back into the HOstorage container in a cyclical manner. The HOsupply arrangement is designed in this manner to minimize decomposition of the HO, and thus minimize waste and improve accuracy of the metered doses.
