Abstract:
The invention relates to a method and a device for heating preforms of a thermoplastic material, the preforms, after having been heated, being subjected to a reshaping operation, and microwaves being applied to the preforms, at least during a portion of the period of heating, in a resonator.
Abstract:
A device (1) and a method for determining the friction between plastic hollow bodies (2) with the same material composition. For this purpose, at least one plastic hollow body (2S) is rigidly clamped in parallel to its longitudinal axis (LS) by means of bilateral clamping jaws (4). A linearly moveable plastic hollow body (2B) lies on the plastic hollow body (2S). The linearly and not in parallel to the longitudinal axis moveable plastic hollow body (2B) is impinged with a force (FG). The moveable plastic hollow body (2B) presses with the force (FG) onto the rigidly clamped plastic hollow body (2S). The neck area (3) of the moveable plastic hollow body (2B) is connected with a force measurement unit (6).
Abstract:
The invention discloses a method of heating a preform (50) of thermoplastic material prior to blow molding the same to form a container, with the preform (50) being held at a threaded region (58) during heating thereof. A neck portion (48) of the preform (50) close to the threaded region (58) is temporarily heated more strongly as compared to other regions.The invention further relates to a tempering device for heating such a preform (50), including at least one radiation and/or heat source acting on the preform (50) and defining several impact regions on the preform (50) with different heating intensities each. The preform (50) has associated therewith at least one reflector (52) disposed in the threaded (58) and/or neck region (48) for deflecting radiation proportions piercing the neck region (48) and for heating the neck region (48) on an inside of the preform (50).
Abstract:
The invention relates to a container (1) comprising a base body (2) and a thread (4), comprising an at least partially circumferential securing ring (6) which extends essentially radially outwards relative to the base body (2) of the container (1), wherein the circumferential securing ring (6) is arranged between the thread (4) and the base body (2) in a longitudinal direction (L) of the container (1) and is spaced apart from the thread (4) in the longitudinal direction (L) of the container (1). According to the invention, the container (1) comprises an at least partially circumferential groove (10) between the thread (4) and the circumferential securing ring (6), wherein this groove (10) has a smaller external cross-section than the securing ring (6) and a smaller external cross-section than the thread (4).
