  • Publication number: 20140157726
    Abstract: Method for producing tilled containers from parisons made from a thermoplastic material, wherein the respective parison is at least conditioned thermally and is subsequently shaped during a shaping and filling phase in a mould by the action of the pressure of the supplied filling substance into the respective container at a shaping and filling pressure, wherein, during the shaping and filling phase, the parison is guided at least temporarily through a stretching rod and/or is stretched in the axial direction, and wherein, at least at the end of the shaping and tilling phase, the respective container has an internal pressure which corresponds to the shaping and filling pressure (p2).

  • Patent number: 8710997
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and device for the detection or correction of defects in machines, whereby a defect is optically and/or acoustically displayed at its point of origin and/or correction by means of at least one reporting device (5). According to the invention, the reporting device (5) is arranged independently from the location and is preferably centrally arranged. Furthermore, the reporting device (5) marks the point of origin and/or correction of the defect remotely and both in an optical and/or acoustical manner.

  • Publication number: 20140014472
    Abstract: A storage device for products includes parallel transport elements configured to convey product in opposite directions, and storage sections formed on corresponding transport elements and defining a transport plane. A transfer element includes a transfer section that extends over the transport elements. An actuating drive is arranged beneath the transport plane and coupled to the transfer element to change receiving capacities of the storage sections. The actuating drive is configured to adjust the transfer element by movement along the transport elements. At least one of the transport elements is controllable independently of adjustment of the transfer element.

  • Publication number: 20130313761
    Abstract: Method for producing containers which are filled with a liquid filling substance from parisons made from a thermoplastic material, wherein the respective parison is conditioned thermally and is subsequently shaped into the container during a shaping and filling phase in a mould by way of the filling substance as pressure medium, wherein, during the shaping into the container, the parison is preferably guided at least temporarily through a stretching rod and is stretched in the axial direction.

  • Publication number: 20110000926
    Abstract: The invention relates to improving a closure for drink containers (1) having a substantially cylindrical neck (2) with an end opening and a closure cap (3), such that it enables significant simplification of the closure design and thereby allows simple and secure closing of barrels at the same or even increased strength of the neck arrangement. The aim is achieved in that the neck (2) comprises an interior circumferential detent collar (4) and the closure cap (3) comprises an insertion shaft (5), having a peripheral detent groove (6) on the outer circumference thereof that corresponds to the detent collar (4) and is profiled in the insertion direction, wherein the detent grove (6) extends across the detent collar (4) on the ring surface (7) thereof located in the insertion direction.
