    Abstract: Disclosed is a maintenance method for an installation for production of containers from blanks made of plastic material, which includes: a blow-molding machine including a rotating carousel and a plurality of forming stations, each including a mold; a primary power unit connected to the carousel; a transfer device suitable for inserting a blank into a mold or for withdrawing a container therefrom; and a secondary power unit connected to the transfer device. The method includes the detection of a misalignment of the transfer device with the carousel, and, therefore, operations for desynchronization of the power units, for realigning and then for resynchronization of the transfer device and of the carousel.

    Abstract: A method of starting a machine comprising a plurality of modules, each module having a standard run-up time until optimum operating conditions are obtained. The method includes acquiring for each module of an initial state at a time T0 and a run-up time to reach the optimum operating conditions from the time T0. The method also includes identifying a slow module having the longest run-up time and determining a time T1 of optimum operation, following run-up, at which said slow module has its optimum operating conditions. For each module (6) other than the slow module (6), the method establishes a starting or run-up time set point for which its optimum operating conditions are reached only at the time T1 or in the immediate vicinity of the time T1.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for adjusting the travel of a stretching sliding rod that belongs to a device for forming hollow bodies made of thermoplastic material by stretch blow molding, with the stretching rod being controlled cyclically in terms of sliding from a rest position to an adjustable stretching end position by stretching the malleable wall of a hollow body, before returning to its rest position to begin a subsequent stretching cycle of another hollow body, with the method including a control step that consists in detecting whether an axial force that opposes the sliding of the stretching rod at the end of travel is above a determined upper boundary. The stretching end position is adjusted automatically by being subjected to the axial force that is detected during the control step.

    Abstract: A method for regulating a facility for processing a series of containers includes an operating phase during which a first machine for processing containers that is equipped with a number of first stations is driven in rotation, and a second machine for processing containers that is equipped with a number of second stations is driven in rotation. The facility has a transfer point from the first to the second processing machine. The operating phase includes a synchronized and paired operating step in which the synchronized rotation of the first and second machines is accompanied by a repetitive series of pairing partners at the transfer point, each pairing partner including a first station arriving at the transfer point coincidentally with a second station, enabling transfer of a container from the first station of the pairing partner to the second station of the pairing partner.
