  • Patent number: 9403668
    Abstract: A device for production of drinks containers may include a forming device which transforms plastic preforms into plastic containers, a filling device which is arranged after the forming device in the transport direction of the plastic containers and fills the plastic containers with a fluid, and a transport device which transports the plastic containers individually from the forming device in the direction of the filling device along a prespecified transport path. The device includes, along the transport path, an alignment device which aligns the plastic containers at least partially in relation to a rotary position about their longitudinal axis.

  • Patent number: 8109697
    Abstract: An air conveyor for transporting plastic bottles, in which bottles are driven by applying air, in the area of the bottle openings. In a partial area of the air conveyor, means are provided to apply air to the bottle bodies. These means are arranged such that the bottles are essentially oriented vertically with the openings of the bottles facing upwards and the bottom of the bottles facing downwards.
