Abstract: A facility (10) for producing containers (12), especially bottles, includes a device (100) for disinfecting a transfer wheel (30), which is controlled from outside the enclosures (14, 15) of the facility (10), for the disinfection of at least the upper container (12)—transfer part (30A) of the wheel (30), which occupies a retracted position, by spraying at least one disinfecting agent.

Abstract: An oven (10) for the thermal conditioning of preforms made of a thermoplastic material, includes at least one cooling circuit (6) with air flow circulation which sequentially extends from the upstream side to the downstream side through at least one cooling air intake area (16a), a heating area (16b) in which a preform heating element (22) and the cooling air flow projected by ventilation elements are provided, and an air extraction area (16c) to which at least one air extraction duct (42) is connected, characterized in that the oven includes a confining housing that extends from the air extraction duct to at least the heating area, and is capable of insulating at least the heating area from the outside of the oven in order to prevent the pollution of the inside of the oven by airborne pollution particles.

Abstract: An installation (10) for the production of containers (12), includes a wheel (30) for transferring containers respectively between a first chamber (14) having a blowing unit (16) and a second chamber (18) having a filling unit, the wheel (30) being mounted such that it can move between at least: —a transfer position in which the wheel extends through an opening (24) which is common to the chambers (14, 18) in order to transfer the containers (12), and —a retracted position in which the wheel is displaced in order to close the opening (24) by element of associated closure element (26) in order to decontaminate the second chamber (18), and in which the displacement of the transfer wheel (30) between the positions is controlled manually or automatically from outside the first chamber (14) and/or the second chamber (18) of the installation (10).

Abstract: An oven (10) for the thermal conditioning of preforms made of thermoplastic, is traversed upstream to downstream by an air stream (A) for cooling the preforms and includes successively an air inlet zone (16a) having at least one air inlet port (22a), a zone (16b) for heating the preforms, that includes at least one ventilation module (36) that is able to guide the air stream (A) coming from the inlet zone (16a) to the preforms, an air extraction zone (16c) having at least one air extraction duct (68), characterized in that the air inlet zone (16a) includes a plurality of ventilation modules (36) and at least one air distribution chamber (18), called a plenum (18), which is interposed between the air inlet port (22a) and each of the ventilation modules (36).

Abstract: A movable conveyor (12) having a plurality of container supports (28), a plurality of nozzles (30) for injecting fluid into the containers, a fluid-feed track (32) for the nozzles (30) and a plurality of pipes (34) to convey the fluid to the nozzles (30), each having an inlet (36) arranged in the feed track (32). Further, a fixed fluid dispenser (14) alongside the conveyor (12), designed to introduce fluid successively into the inlets (36), this dispenser (14) having a distributor (44) positioned facing the feed track (32). The distributor (44) defines a manifold (46) which extends along a length of the conveyor corresponding to the number N of inlets (36) selected, a seal (50) being provided to ensure a sealed contact between the manifold (46) and the feed track (32), and the dispenser (44) has means (52) to push the manifold (46) against the feed track (32) of the conveyor (12).
