  • Patent number: 12611811
    Abstract: An apparatus for forming plastic preforms into plastic containers has a rotatable transport carrier on which a plurality of forming stations is arranged. The forming stations each have blow molding devices within which the plastic preforms are formed by application of a flowable medium into the plastic containers. The apparatus has a clean room, within which the plastic preforms are expanded into the plastic containers, a feed device to feed plastic preforms to be formed, and a discharge device for discharging formed containers from the transport device. The apparatus also has an ejection device for ejecting plastic preforms or plastic containers from the transport path, being arranged between the discharge device and the feed device.

  • Publication number: 20240017470
    Abstract: An apparatus for forming plastic preforms into plastic containers includes a rotatable transport carrier on which a plurality of forming stations is arranged, and forming stations each having blow molding devices within which the plastic preforms can be formed into the plastic containers by applying a flowable medium. The forming stations each have stretching devices having at least one stretching rod which can be moved in the longitudinal direction of the plastic preforms and introduced into the plastic preforms. The apparatus also has a clean room within which the plastic preforms are expanded to form the plastic containers. The stretching devices and the forming stations are each arranged on a mold carrier holder and are held thereby, so that the mold carrier holder is designed as a carrying device of the apparatus and walls of the clean room to delimit the apparatus from a non-sterile environment.

  • Publication number: 20240009913
    Abstract: An apparatus for forming plastic preforms into plastic containers, includes a transport device, which has a rotatable transport carrier on which a plurality of forming stations is arranged. The forming stations each have application devices for applying fluid medium to the plastic preforms. The forming stations each have stretching devices for stretching the plastic preforms in the longitudinal direction thereof. The stretching devices each have at least one stretching rod which can be moved in the longitudinal direction of the plastic preforms. The apparatus has a clean room, within which the plastic preforms are expanded into the plastic containers, and a sealing device in order to seal the clean room from a non-sterile environment. The sealing device has at least one circumferential channel which can be filled with a liquid, characterized in that the clean room is closed with a cover device, and this cover device is fastened at least to at least one stretching device by fastening devices.
