Abstract
A method and device for the continuous heat treatment of pharmaceutical glass containers are provided. The method includes continuously conveying glass containers from an entry region to an exit region via a conveying installation having a separating plate made from an electrically conductive material, the separating plate being positioned above and/or below the conveying installation; heating the glass containers to a maximum temperature in a heating zone after passing the entry region; cooling the glass containers in a first cooling zone after passing the heating zone and before passing the exit region at a first cooling rate, wherein the separating plate separates the glass containers from heating installations in the heating zone and/or temperature changing installations in the first cooling zone; and controlling the heating installations and/or the temperature changing installations to inductively heat the separating plate in the heating zone and/or the first cooling zone.
