Abstract: An apparatus for producing plastics material containers has a production device having a plurality of production units, each of which is configured for producing plastics material preforms from a plastics material mass, a forming device having a plurality of forming stations, and at least one transport device for transporting the plastics material preforms separately from the production device to the forming device, at least in portions. The apparatus further has a first temperature detection device for detecting a temperature of individual plastics material preforms produced by the production device, and at least one assignment device for assigning, to a plastics material preform whose temperature has been detected, the production unit that produced the plastics material preform and/or the forming station that will form the plastics material preform into a plastics material container.

Abstract: An injection molding tool or an injection method for producing at least one molded part in a molding space, wherein the injection molding tool has at least two tool elements which are movable relative to one another between an open position and a closed position, wherein in the closed position the molding space is at least partially enclosed by the at least two tool elements and wherein in the open position a molded part produced in the molding space can be removed from the injection molding tool. In order to enable cleaning of the injection molding tool, a cleaning position is provided which lies between the open position and the closed position and in which a spacer element is arranged between the tool elements.

Abstract: Injection mould for producing mouldings having a cavity plate with cavities and a core plate with cores. The cavity plate and the core plate are movable between a closed position, in which each core is respectively arranged in a cavity, and an open position, in which no core is arranged within a cavity. Each moulding space is assigned a neck-ring pair with two neck rings, and the neck-ring pair is arranged on the core plate and is movable between a holding position, in which neck rings of the neck-ring pair are in contact, and a releasing position, in which neck rings of the neck-ring pair are not in contact. To provide an injection mould with which mouldings can be produced and provided for further processing as efficiently as possible, the cores and the cavities are arranged on a curved path.

Abstract: An injection moulding tool plate for use in an injection moulding tool for producing a plurality v of preforms having a plurality of handling elements arranged in columns and rows, wherein the distance r between adjacent handling elements within the rows is greater than the distance s between adjacent handling elements within the columns, characterized in that the distance s is less than 50 mm.
