Abstract
An extrusion blow-molding device () for producing plastic containers, particularly plastic bottles, is proposed, comprising an extruder head (), which is connected to at least one extruder () for plastic material and has at least one extrusion die (), a blow-molding tool arrangement () having at least one blow-molding cavity () and at least one injection device (), which is disposed on the side of the blow-molding tool arrangement () facing away from the extruder head () and can be inserted into the blow-molding cavity () through an opening provided there. During a production cycle, the extruder head () can be axially adjusted in terms of the height thereof relative to the blow-molding tool arrangement (). To do so, the extruder () is articulated along the longitudinal extension thereof on a rotational axis () and can be tilted in the manner of a rocker, and the extruder () is configured such that the height thereof about the rotational axis () thereof can be adjusted. In this way, for the production of plastic containers having a large height, a new starting position for tilting the extruder () can be set in that the extruder (), to include the rotational axis () thereof, is raised.
