  • Patent number: 11584061
    Abstract: Method for operating an apparatus for forming plastic preforms into plastic containers, wherein in a working mode a plurality of forming stations are moved along a predetermined transport path by a movable carrier, wherein these forming stations in each case having blow mould arrangements which in a closed state in each case form cavities, within which the plastic preforms are formed into the plastic containers and the plastic preforms are supplied to these forming stations in order to be formed by supplying a flowable medium to the plastic containers, wherein this forming takes place at least temporarily during the transport of the forming stations along the transport path, and wherein at least temporarily at least components of the blow moulding arrangement are tempered. At least parts of the blow mould are pre-heated in a standstill of the carrier or a movement of the carrier, which is slower with respect to a movement of the carrier in the working mode.

  • Patent number: 11390010
    Abstract: An apparatus for forming plastic preforms into plastic containers has at least one supply device with at least one first connecting line, wherein at least one section of at least one connecting line is arranged stationary relative to a main carrier by at least one fastening device, and wherein a section of this connecting line is arranged on a device of the forming device in such a way that, in the event of a movement of the side part carrier relative to the main carrier, this section of the connecting line moves relative to the fastening device. An actuator is arranged on the apparatus, to which at least a section of the connecting line is fastened, wherein this actuator also being movable relative to the main carrier.

  • Patent number: 11123913
    Abstract: Disclosed is a machine for reshaping plastic preforms into plastic containers with at least one reshaping station, which has a blow moulding arrangement inside which plastic preforms can be reshaped into plastic containers by application of a flowable medium, and with an application device which is configured for applying a flowable medium to the plastic preforms, and with a valve arrangement with at least two valve devices which is configured for feeding the flowable medium under at least two different pressures to the plastic preform during the reshaping thereof. At least one valve device has at least one valve piston which is movable with respect to a valve housing between two valve positions, and a check piston which is movable between at least two positions is arranged on this valve piston.

  • Patent number: 11034076
    Abstract: Provided is a machine and method for reshaping plastic parisons into plastic containers, with a mold which has a cavity for the plastic parison to be reshaped, wherein this mold has at least two blow mold parts, wherein each of these blow mold parts has an inner wall which is suitable for forming a region of the plastic parison to be reshaped, wherein these blow mold parts are mounted movably with respect to one another between an open position, in which the blow mold parts are at least partially separated from one another, and a closed position, in which the blow mold parts abut one another, in order together to form the cavity for reshaping the plastic parisons.
