  • Patent number: 12589543
    Abstract: A method for producing at least one molded, filled and sealed container product (10) includes at least the method steps of: extruding a hose (32) by an extrusion device (12) using supporting gas in vertical extrusion direction in a preforming position; sealing the hose (32) at its lower end and cutting it at its upper open end; cutting the parison (22) to length; transporting the cut parison by a gripper device (20) in linear transport direction transverse to the extrusion direction from the preforming position into an opened molding tool (18); transferring the parison (22) into the opened molding tool (18) by the gripper device (20) in a main forming position; sealing the molding tool (18) for further forming of the parison (22) by a pressure gradient; filling and sealing the parison (22); and returning the gripper device (20) to the preforming position for a repeated sequence of the above method steps.

  • Publication number: 20260084364
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to an apparatus for producing container products from plastics materials. The apparatus comprises a moulding device to which a moulding tube made of plasticised material can be supplied by extrusion, and which moulding device has moulding surfaces which are movable and reproduce a specifiable container geometry, on which the moulding tube can be placed for a shaping, filling and/or sealing process. A guiding and holding device is provided, which can be controlled such that, in at least one functional position outside the moulding region of the moulding device, guiding and holding parts act on the plastics material that surrounds the finished container products, wherein the plastics material establishes a material connection between a finished container product that has already left the moulding device and an at least partly finished container product that is still in the moulding device, can be separated by a separating device.

  • Patent number: 11689540
    Abstract: A device for a secure data connection of at least one manufacturing machine (104) has an information-processing system (114), which is subdivided into individual zones (108, 110, 112) interconnected by data diodes (120) such that data originating from the machine control (118) of the manufacturing machine (104) in a data flow can be transferred to other zones (108, 110, 112) without the possibility of a data return flow. The individual zones (110, 112) are ordered hierarchically. Each individual zone has a lower level of data security than the upstream individual zone (108, 110) in relation to the data flow. Every individual zone (108, 110, 112) is formed as an independent computer in the manner of an isolated application. In addition, a manufacturing machine and a production plant includes the device for secure data connection.

  • Publication number: 20230145486
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for producing at least one molded, filled and sealed container product (10) comprising at least the method steps listed below: extruding a hose (32) by means of an extrusion device (12) using supporting gas in vertical extrusion direction in a preforming position; sealing the hose (32) at its lower end and cutting it at its upper open end; transporting of the parison (22) thus cut to length by means of a gripper device (20) in linear transport direction transverse to the extrusion direction from the preforming position into an opened molding tool (18); transferring the parison (22) into the opened molding tool (18) by means of the gripper device (20) in a main forming position; sealing the molding tool (18) for further forming of the parison (22) by a pressure gradient; filling and sealing the parison (22); and returning the gripper device (20) to the preforming position for a repeated sequence of the above method steps
