Abstract:
A blowing mold array includes a blowing mold unit forming a cavity, inside of which plastic preforms are expanded to plastic containers. The blow mold unit includes a blowing mold retainer having at least two mold retainer elements for accommodating parts of the blowing mold unit, and a locking mechanism to arrest at least one part of the blowing mold unit against at least one mold retainer element. The locking mechanism includes an engagement element that can be pivoted and/or shifted relative to a default axis, which in an arrested state abuts a segment of a part of the blowing mold unit. The locking mechanism has an actuating element to loosen the arrest between the mold retaining element and the blowing mold unit. Actuation of the actuating element is coupled with actuation of the engagement element.
Abstract:
A production system for producing and/or filling containers, including beverage bottles, includes modular processing units. Each of the modular processing units includes a stationary operating module configured to produce or process the containers and handling devices. The handling devices are configured to handle the containers between a container entry of the processing unit and a container exit of the processing unit and to position the containers in the operating module. The handling devices are configured such that the processing units are individually replaceable. Alternatively or additionally to this, at least two processing units of a same kind are provided to which the containers are specifically distributable.
Abstract:
A container treatment plant and a method for the treatment of containers are described. The container treatment plant includes a plurality of treatment elements, wherein each treatment element is used for a pre-determined treatment of the containers and each treatment element has associated therewith a container nominal value which indicates which type of container the treatment element can treat, a detection device for detecting properties of one of the containers to be treated, and a comparator device for comparing a detection result of the detection device with the container nominal value for at least one treatment element.
Abstract:
A printing device for printing on containers in a rotationally-driven container conveying unit by means of which containers are conveyed between at least one container feed location and at least one container removal location, the printing device, and including at least one print head and at least one housing for housing a container. Each housing includes a hollow body, which is partially open at least in a printing area and which is used for accommodating the container, the opening for the printing area defining a front side and a side located opposite the front side defining a rear side.
Abstract:
A device for vacuum recycling in a container treatment unit with a plurality of treatment stations that each have a sealable vacuum area, including a plurality of connection lines, which connect the vacuum areas to each other and/or to a central vacuum accumulator, and a control and/or regulating unit that is configured such that a vacuum created in a vacuum area is partially transferred to another vacuum area and/or the central vacuum accumulator.
Abstract:
An apparatus comprises a conveying device and a plurality of blow molding stations arranged on the conveying device. Each blow molding station includes a blow mold. A clean room is provided inside which the plastics material pre-forms are conveyed. The blow mold has two lateral parts and a bottom part that jointly form a cavity inside which a plastics material pre-form is shaped into a plastics material container. A drive device moves the lateral parts or the bottom part of the blow mold. A coupling device couples the drive device to a lateral part. A mounting device mounts the coupling device.

Abstract:
In an apparatus for the heating of plastics material pre-forms with a conveying device which conveys the plastics material pre-forms along a pre-set conveying path, at least one heating device moves with the plastics material pre-forms arranged on the conveying device, wherein the heating device comprises a receiving room that receives the plastics material pre-forms and that surrounds the plastics material pre-forms during heating thereof. A holding device holds the plastics material pre-forms. The plastics material pre-forms are conveyed through a clean room, the clean room surrounding the conveying path of the plastics material pre-forms. A moving device introduces the plastics material pre-forms into the receiving room and removes plastics material pre-forms from the receiving room. At least one portion of the moving device is arranged exterior the clean room. A sealing device seals the clean room from an exterior environment.
Abstract:
An apparatus for treating containers, including a transport device which transports the containers along a specified transport path, the transport device including a plurality of holding elements for holding the containers, with the holding elements being transported along the specified transport path. The apparatus includes a cleaning device for sterilizing the holding elements at least in sections.
Abstract:
Disclosed is an apparatus and a method for treating containers with a transport device for transporting a container along a predetermined transport path, wherein the apparatus includes at least one container treatment device and preferably a plurality of container treatment devices, wherein the at least one container treatment device has at least one wear element, wherein the at least one container treatment device has a wear detection device for detecting wear data relating to wear of the at least one wear element. The wear detection device includes at least one sensor device for detecting the wear data relating to the wear of the at least one wear element.
