  • Publication number: 20190291328
    Abstract: Apparatus is provided for expanding plastics material parisons into plastics material containers by a liquid medium, having at least one transforming station, which fills and expands the plastics material parisons with the liquid medium with at least one pressure generating device, which is suitable and intended to deliver the liquid medium to at least one filling device, which filling device fills the plastics material parisons with the liquid medium, wherein the pressure generating device has a pressure outlet which at least at times can be fluidically connected to the plastics material parison to be filled. The apparatus has a removal device which is suitable and intended at least at times to remove a flowable medium from a plastics material container, wherein the pressure generating device has a suction intake which at least at times can be fluidically connected to this removal device in order to remove the flowable medium.

  • Publication number: 20190291329
    Abstract: Provided is an apparatus for expanding plastics material parisons into plastics material containers by a liquid medium with at least two transforming stations which fill and expand the plastics material parisons with the liquid medium with at least one common delivery device, which delivers the liquid medium to both transforming stations, wherein the transforming stations in each case have filling devices which fill the liquid medium into the plastics material parisons. According to the embodiments these transforming stations and/or filling devices in each case have a throttle device which are suitable and intended for changing the volume flow of the liquid entering the plastics material parisons.
