  • Publication number: 20230145486
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for producing at least one molded, filled and sealed container product (10) comprising at least the method steps listed below: extruding a hose (32) by means of an extrusion device (12) using supporting gas in vertical extrusion direction in a preforming position; sealing the hose (32) at its lower end and cutting it at its upper open end; transporting of the parison (22) thus cut to length by means of a gripper device (20) in linear transport direction transverse to the extrusion direction from the preforming position into an opened molding tool (18); transferring the parison (22) into the opened molding tool (18) by means of the gripper device (20) in a main forming position; sealing the molding tool (18) for further forming of the parison (22) by a pressure gradient; filling and sealing the parison (22); and returning the gripper device (20) to the preforming position for a repeated sequence of the above method steps

  • Patent number: 10940633
    Abstract: A method produces a filled and closed container by the blow-moulding, filling and closing method. An initially open container part (52) is held in a mould (46) and has been vacuum-moulded and/or blow-moulded by a blow pin and is filled successively with media (74, 76) of different types, in particular viscosity, by metering units (12, 14) via its free, upwardly directed container-part opening (54). The filled-in media (74, 76) are separated from one another in the container part (52), and subsequently, by closing of the top mould halves (56, 58) of the mould (46). A container top part (60) is moulded, and the container part (52) is closed, forming the container.

  • Patent number: 10238813
    Abstract: A dispensing device includes a container with a receiving space containing a dispensable medium extractable via a dispensing element. A control body (19) with a connecting body (11) is longitudinally displaceable in a housing part (9), from an inactive base position to an active extraction position by a rotational movement. A media-carrying connection is created between the receiving space and the dispensing element. A control part of the control body (19) can be attached to a control path (54) of the connecting body (11). When the control body (19) moves rotationally relative to the housing part (9), each control part follows the rotational movement in an axially unchanged manner and brings the connecting body from the base position to an extraction position via each associable control path (54) of the connecting body (11). The control path comprises a slope.

  • Publication number: 20180147772
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a filled and closed container, in particular by way of the blow-moulding, filling and closing method, in which an initially open container part (52) that is held in a mould (46) and has been vacuum-moulded and/or blow-moulded by means of a blow pin is filled successively with media (74, 76) of different types, in particular viscosity, by means of metering units (12, 14) via its free, upwardly directed container-part opening (54), such that the filled-in media (74, 76) are separated from one another in the container part (52), and subsequently, by closing of the top mould halves (56, 58) of the mould (46), a container top part (60) is moulded and the container part (52) is closed, forming the container.
