Abstract: An apparatus for producing plastic containers filled with a liquid, having a forming device which forms plastic preforms into containers, and a filling device which fills the containers with the liquid, wherein the filling device has a transport device which transports the containers during their filling and a plurality of filling devices which fill the containers. The apparatus has a supply line in order to supply the liquid to be filled to the filling devices, wherein the apparatus has at least one heat exchanger device which is configured to also use the liquid to be supplied to the filling devices for cooling components of the forming device and/or a further treatment unit.

Abstract: A brush manufacturing machine having an injection mold is used to manufacture multi-component brush elements made of plastic, in particular for toothbrushes. The injection mold has a nozzle-side mold plate and an ejector-side mold plate, in which mutually allocated mold cavities (8) are provided, the injection mold being formed as a turning tool, having a turning part (index plate) that can be rotated about an axis of rotation and that is allocated to the ejector-side mold plate (3), said turning part having partial cavities (8b) of the mold cavities of the ejector-side mold plate (3). The turning part, formed as an index plate (4), has at least three carrier arms (11) that have the partial cavities (8b) and that are situated approximately radially in relation to the axis of rotation (14) of the rotatable turning part. The mold cavities (8) are situated with their longitudinal extension approximately tangential to the axis of rotation (14).

Abstract: An injection molding machine for the manufacture of injection molded items, especially toothbrush bodies or toothbrushes, wherein the injection molding machine includes a mold-containing injection die (1) and an injection unit (2), especially with a screw-piston extruder or a similar material transport system. Distribution or transport channels lead from the injection unit (2) forming a distribution channel arrangement (4) to the individual mold cavities (5). One or more feeds (10) are located on the distribution channels and/or the mold cavities for at least one additive, for instance, a liquid color.
