Abstract: Provided is an apparatus for forming plastic preforms into plastic containers, having a blow mould which forms a cavity within which the plastic preforms can be expanded to form the plastic containers, and having an application device which is suitable and intended for acting upon the plastic preforms with a flowable medium in order to expand them, which is suitable and intended for acting upon the plastic preforms with a flowable medium in order to expand them, wherein the application device is placed against a mouth area of the plastic preforms in order to act upon these with the flowable medium. The application device forms at least one first flow channel for the flowable medium, which guides and/or directs at least a portion of the flowable medium to an inner wall of the mouth area in order to temper and, in particular, cool this inner wall.

Abstract: A method for the shaping of plastics material pre-forms into plastics material containers, wherein the plastics material pre-forms are introduced into a blow mould and are expanded to form the plastic bottles by being acted upon with a gaseous medium in the blow mould, includes the steps of: preliminary blow moulding by acting upon the plastics material pre-forms with a first pressure; intermediate blow moulding of the plastics material pre-forms at a second pressure which is higher than the first pressure; and final blow moulding of the plastics material pre-forms at a third pressure which is higher than the second pressure, wherein at least the second pressure is varied during a working operation.
