At least one shape (19, 21, 23, 25, 29, 33) is provided in the container wall (15, 20) that ensures, despite a low relative air volume in the container, that when administering the filler material by infusion, the container wall (15, 20) collapses at least partially reducing the volume, without aeration of the container.

Abstract: A device produces and fills containers, in which at least one hose of plasticized plastic material emerging from an extrusion head (2) can be extruded into an opened mold. A filling device (14) can be used to at least introduce the filling material into the relevant container by filling mandrels (12), which, at least during operation, extend through the extrusion head (2) along at least one row of passages (40). The extrusion head (2) has a cuboid shell (20, 22). The overall height (H) of the extrusion head (2), viewed in parallel to the orientation of the relevant filling mandrel (12), is smaller than the length (L) of the extrusion head (2), viewed along the pertinent row of passages (40).

Abstract: A container has an at least partially filled container body and at least one cap part (10). The cap part has at least one sealing part (16) that, for removal of the container contents, can be penetrated by a hollow-spike-shaped insertion part (22) from the outside, with a predeterminable actuating force, in an introduction direction. The insertion part can be removed from the container again, with a predeterminable pull-out force, in an oppositely directed pull-out direction. A device (16, 18) makes it difficult for the insertion part (22) to be removed with the pull-out force being increased such that unintentional removal of the insertion part (22) is at least made difficult.

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.
