Abstract
Apparatus for producing plastic containers by stretch blowing including a rotatable rotor and at least one distributor block connected to the rotor. The distributor block has a mixing chamber that can be directly connected to an internal space of a preform so that a combustion chamber is formed from the mixing chamber and the internal space of the preform. A feed device is provided for feeding an explosive fluid into the combustion chamber and a firing device is provided for firing the explosive fluid in the combustion chamber. Of importance is that the distributor block can be connected directly to a preform or to a formed container. The apparatus is desirably a round rotor machine with a rotatable carousel for receiving a plurality of distributor blocks having a mixing chamber that can be directly connected to an internal space of a preform. The distributor blocks are desirably arranged in such a way that they can be rotated together with the carousel. The invention also includes an apparatus, in particular a round rotor machine, for coating the inside walls of a plastic container with a barrier layer which is impermeable in relation to gases, aroma substances and the like, in which a stretch blowing mould is connected by way of a connecting portion to valve-controlled fluid lines in order to fill the container in the mould with at least one gas.
