  • 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.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8453419
    Abstract: A method for blow molding and filling sterile containers of preforms in a container treatment device containing a blow module, in which the preforms are transferred from a heating device to the blow module via transport devices, and the containers are transported to a filling machine and filled, where a sterilization treatment is performed each at the preforms and the containers, a main sterilization treatment is performed at the preforms between the heating device and the blow module, and only a subsequent sterilization treatment is performed at the containers on the transport path to the filling machine. Further, a device having a main sterilization module between the heating device and the blow module, and a subsequent sterilization module between the blow module and the filling machine.
