Abstract: A plant for blow-moulding plastic containers (2) from respective parisons (3) comprises a plurality of moulding units (10), each having a mould (11) for blow-moulding at least one container (2) and at least one stretching rod (14) that moves under the action of a drive device (16) in such a way as to axially deform a respective parison (3); the drive device (16) comprises, for each moulding unit (10) drive motor (17) coupled to the stretching rods (14) of the moulding unit (10) itself.

Abstract: A mold device for molding an object having an end wall and a side wall includes a forming core having a lateral forming surface for shaping part of an internal surface of the side wall. The device further includes a forming and disengaging arrangement for shaping a further part of the internal surface and slidably coupled with the forming core to disengage from the further part. It is further provided with an extracting element which is movable with respect to the forming core so as to act on an edge zone of the object for detaching the object from the forming core for extracting the object from the device.

Abstract: Method for forming an item through compression-moulding having an asymmetrical section with differentiated volumes and thicknesses, comprising the steps of introducing a dose of semi-liquid resin into the recess of a mould, inserting a plunger in said recess to create the interspace intended to be occupied by the material pushed by the plunger, removing said plunger and withdrawing the item that stays stuck to the plunger or to the recess, where the interspace intended for the forming of the item is created in two successive steps, the first comprising the insertion of a first plunger into the recess, and the second comprising the action of a second plunger that acts in a portion (accumulation chamber) of the interspace created by the insertion of the first plunger, completing the creation of the interspace in which the item is formed.

Abstract: A method for compression-moulding a dose of plastics in a mould having a first forming arrangement and a second forming arrangement comprises the steps of: moving the first forming arrangement towards the second forming arrangement at a speed that is variable according to a preset profile, the preset profile being so chosen as to apply reduced stress to the plastics, in order to obtain an object from the dose; maintaining the object in the mould while applying variable pressure to the plastics according to a preset further profile, the preset further profile being so chosen as to reduce the stress in the plastics; extracting the object from the mould.

Abstract: A cap comprises a body suitable for being associated with a container neck and provided with a dispensing arrangement, a lid arranged for closing said dispensing arrangement, an opening indicating device connected to the lid through a breakable arrangement and comprises a hooking arrangement arranged for engaging with a corresponding further hooking arrangement of the body, wherein with the further hooking arrangement there is associated a guide arrangement arranged for limiting deformations of the opening indicating device when the hooking arrangement interacts with the further hooking arrangement.

Abstract: Container, comprising a neck provided with a wall forming an opening and an abutting arrangement arranged to interact with an opening indicating device of a cap associatable with the neck, the abutting arrangement comprising a ring-shaped projection extending circumferentially from the wall, and an abutting element arrangement projecting from the ring-shaped projection.

Abstract: Device for inspecting vegetable products in general, and fruit in particular, by spectroscopic analysis of refracted light, comprising a conveyor (1) provided with equidistant seats (21) for receiving single fruits (3), means (6) for laterally illuminating the fruits, and means (100, 200) arranged to collect the refracted light which passes through the fruit, to concentrate it and to feed it to spectroscopic analysis means, the refracted light collection means comprising a fixed part (200) and a series of movable parts (100) positioned equidistant on a conveyor chain (45) lying above and parallel to a portion of the conveyor (1) and in phase with the seats (21) of this latter, said movable parts being formed from two telescopic bodies (101, 102), of which the outer body (101) is permanently fixed to the chain and the inner body (102) can slide freely downwards by gravity.
