  • Patent number: 9757488
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and device for sterilizing parisons made of a thermoplastic material that are intended for producing blow-molded containers. During the sterilizing process a sterilizing agent is introduced into an interior of the parison by an applicator. At least one gas is supplied to the applicator via at least one supply element, at least sections of which are arranged in a horizontal direction next to a transport path of the applicator. The supply element comprises at least one outlet opening facing towards the applicator. At least one pressure-applying element is arranged between the applicator and the supply element and is resiliently clamped between the applicator and the supply element.

  • Patent number: 9498913
    Abstract: The method and the device are used to produce filled containers. A preform (2) made of a thermoplastic material is first subjected to thermal conditioning in the area of a heating section along a transport path. Then the preform (2) is shaped into the container (11) inside a mold by applying pressure. A filling medium (21) with which the container is to be filled is used as the fluid for forming the container. The preform (2) is guided at least intermittently while the preform is shaped into the container (11).

  • Patent number: 9404447
    Abstract: A cooler for an internal combustion engine may include a cooler block including a gas path for communicating a gas flow along a gas flow direction and a coolant path for communicating a coolant flow. The gas path and the coolant path may be thermally coupled to each other and may be fluidly separated from each other. The cooler may include a liquid separator for separating a liquid from the gas flow. The liquid separator may be arranged on the cooler block at an outlet side of the gas path. The liquid separator may include a reservoir for the separated liquid and an evaporator for evaporating the separated liquid.

  • Patent number: 9275366
    Abstract: Example systems and methods of extracting and processing data are described. In one implementation, a method accesses genealogy data (which includes a root node) associated with multiple data sources. The genealogy data is expanded from the root node. The method identifies data objects associated with the genealogy data and identifies a simplification rule to apply to the genealogy data. Data objects in the genealogy data that satisfy the simplification rule are identified by the method. A simplified representation of the genealogy data is generated by replacing each identified data object with a link to a predecessor data object.

  • Patent number: 9254343
    Abstract: The method and the device according to the invention are used to sterilize preforms (1) made of a thermoplastic material that are intended for producing blow-molded containers. During the sterilization, a sterilizing agent is introduced into the area of the preform (1). The sterilizing agent is discharged at least partially from at least one nozzle (44) in the direction of the preform (1). An average direction (45) of the escape of the sterilizing agent from the nozzle (44) is provided with an angle of inclination (46) from a longitudinal axis (47) of the preform (1).

  • Publication number: 20140015171
    Abstract: The method and the apparatus serve for sterilizing parisons made of a thermoplastic material which are provided for producing blow-molded containers. Sterilization is carried out using a plasma. A sterilizing device is provided, for this purpose, with a plasma generator. Sterilization is carried out following insertion of the parison into a blow-molding station or on a transfer wheel. The plasma is generated outside the parison and introduced into the parison.

  • Publication number: 20130328248
    Abstract: A method and device for producing blow-molded containers, at least some regions of which are sterile. A parsion made of thermoplastic material is first heated and then exposed to a pressurized fluid. A sterilization means is introduced into an area of the parison. Sterilization is carried out at a sterilization site a spatial distance away from a blowing unit, which shapes the parison. Instead of maintaining the entire area of the blowing device as a sterile space, the parison is transported from the sterilization site to the blowing unit at least along a portion of a transport path along a sterile channel.
