The restrictor further includes an integrated oil circuit enabling oil to pass through the restrictor along the axial extent thereof. The body is a one-piece body, and the circuit has at least two oil channels recessed on an outer cylindrical surface of the body and extending around and/or along the axis.

Abstract: The invention concerns a device for handling preforms for heating units. The device includes a mandrel that defines a rotation axis of the preforms; a tip mounted at an end of the mandrel and having a part penetrating into the neck of the preforms; a rubbing contact rigidly connected to the tip; and a heatsink rigidly connected to the mandrel and intended to come into contact with the tip. The tip also includes a cooling part axially in line with the penetrating part. The cooling part includes at least one thermal exchange raised portion in contact with the surrounding air. Furthermore, the tip is mounted such that it can be mobile on the mandrel.

Abstract: A plastic container manufacturing machine, comprising a chassis having a camway with a cam and a countercam and an element which is movable relative to the chassis, bearing a roller interacting with the camway so as to ensure the displacement of the movable element. The machine also comprising a device for controlling the displacement of the movable element. The countercam has at least one portion which is movable relative to the chassis, and the control device incorporates a distance sensor that continuously measures the distance of a movable portion of the countercam relative to a fixed reference point on the chassis.

Abstract: A device for ejecting products in a unit for processing products, a flow of the products moving one behind the other along a circulation trajectory. The device having an ejector for individually ejecting a product out of the circulation trajectory and a motor of the ejector. The ejector having at least one plate with a peripheral edge provided with at least one recess for receiving a single product and the motor having a rotation drive for the plate and a way for synchronizing the drive with the flow of the products. The invention relates also to an installation and an ejection method.

Abstract: A branch of a clamp for handling hollow bodies in a plant manufacturing containers made of plastic material, the handling clamp comprising two branches intended to be held by a holding member and being intended to grip a hollow body, the branch comprising a base, and a jaw extending from the base. The base has a front edge intended to be in contact with the hollow bodies. The branch is formed by a metal core extending in the jaw set back from the front edge, and a plastic supplement at least partially covering the metal core, the plastic supplement constituting at least the front edge and being secured to the metal core.

Abstract: A molding unit (10) for the manufacture of containers from preforms made of thermoplastic, includes compensating elements which are formed of at least one gripper (60) which acts on mold carriers (16) that carry the mold (12) of the unit (10) in order to clamp them against one another when the molding unit (10) is in the closed position and to apply a compensating force that tends to clamp together molding elements (14) of the mold (12) at a parting line (P) and opposes the forces that a pressurized fluid applies to the molding elements (14) when a container is being molded from a preform.

Abstract: A gripper (42) for gripping an object (14), intended for a transfer device includes two jaws (64, 66). Each of the jaws includes: a recess (92), and a first clamping portion (94) and a second locking portion (96). The first clamping portion (94) of each jaw (64, 66) of the gripper (42) includes a supporting surface and, when the gripper (42) is closed around an object (14) occupying a predetermined reference position, the supporting surface is intended to engage with a portion of a bearing surface of a radial collar of the object.

Abstract: An automated system for changing a mold of a molding unit (24) with which a machine for manufacturing containers is provided, characterized in that the system includes at least one control module (M) having at least a first actuating device (122) combined with the locking device (90) of the molding unit (24) and a second actuating device (126) combined with the opening/closing device (82) of the molding unit (24).
